I am extremely impressed with its performance. The dual lens setup provides crystal clear images and videos, with impressive clarity both day and night. The night vision mode, in particular, offers clear visuals even in complete darkness.

What sets this camera apart is its cellular connectivity, which ensures continuous monitoring without needing a WiFi connection. This feature is perfect for remote areas where WiFi might not be available, and the signal strength is consistently stable. The 360-degree rotation ensures no blind spots, and I can easily control the camera's movement through the app.

Installation was a breeze with clear instructions and included mounting hardware. The app interface is user-friendly, allowing me to view live footage, review past recordings, and receive real-time alerts when motion is detected.

Overall, the Security Camera Outdoor is an excellent investment for anyone looking to enhance their home security.

A microscope can have high magnification, but poor resolution. Racking the microscope from up to down optically projects an ever-smaller portion (field of view) of the specimen onto the microscopes CCD sensor. The result is magnification with increased resolution (limited by the optics and CCD resolution). The up/down buttons on the microscope digitally magnify by selecting a subset of the sensor’s pixels and digitally upscaling them. The image is bigger (magnified), but there is no increase in resolution (like watching SD programming upscaled on a HD set). The pixel density of the display determines the viewed specimen size on the screen. A good analogy is an HD video is much smaller on your phone than on a large-screen HD TV, but both have the same HD resolution. It’s just that the cellphone is smaller with a far greater pixel density. Magnification without increased resolution is sometimes called “empty magnification”. It is fine for soldering circuit boards, but not useful where both magnification and resolution are needed (i.e., cell structure).
I made the following measurements using a slide (w/ mm scale) and measuring the apparent size on the scope’s screen (no zoom):
- High point (Lowest Power): 22mm on slide measured ~90 mm on screen (~4x) with ~23x13 mm FOV
- Low point (Highest Power): 2 mm on slide measured ~90 mm on screen (~45x) with ~2 mm x 1.1 mm FOV
The digital zoom button (up arrow) provides an additional 2x zoom (~90x max on the microscope's display). Displaying the image to a 27” HD display provides ~6x increase in apparent image size, but no increase in resolution. I assume the CCD sensor is HD (1980x1080), but could not confirm.
Images were sharp with good color on the microscope screen. I would rate the build quality as average for the price. The lighting system is good (and adjustable), but could use better diffusers. The gooseneck lights are definitely needed at low focus (high rack). The UV filter is threaded, but attached with double-sided tape. The rack and pinon focuser had a bit of play, but acceptable in this price range. The barrel focuser was a little stiff. Wireless control did not work out of the box, but I was able to move the circuit board to make contact the battery (not included). No PC software was in the box, nor a download link provided; however, the seller did provide link on request. The instruction manual left a bit to be desired – but all-in-all, my initial impression is that it is acceptable for its intended purpose (i.e., viewing objects visible to the naked eye and circuit board soldering).

Does exactly what it should... Perfect for using my old fisheye on the EosR

use the fisheye for panoramas and occasionally also use the fisheye effect creatively in normal photos. Important to know: the lens is purely manual. No auto focus and no aperture control. And unfortunately no data transfer either. In practice, however, this is not so bad. In almost all cases I set the focus to infinity and stop down to F8 - F11. Everything is sharp from about 1m. If you want to focus more closely, the missing automatic aperture must be taken into account. The focus peaking of the Z7II no longer works properly when stopped down. You should therefore focus with the aperture wide open and only then adjust the aperture. So nothing for snapshots. The image quality is good, but should be sharpened a bit in the image processing. I photograph exclusively in RAW format and develop with DXO-Photolab. The camera-lens combo is not yet available here, so automatic corrections are not possible (also because of the lack of data transmission). In the manual process, however, a good - considering the low price even very good - image quality is achieved. The following is to complain about: - The aperture has no detents. As a result, it is easily misaligned and an exact repetition is basically not possible. - The lack of automatic shutter control is annoying for fast freehand shots. - The lens does not transmit EXIF data. If you want to know which lens you used for a picture, you have to enter it manually. - The focal length is cheated. It is more like 15mm. Conclusion: great prize for panorama photographers and for use without time pressure, but not suitable for quick snapshots.

wasn't sure if it would work with older lenses that have an aperture ring. It does. They can be operated simultaneously with an adapter and lens rings in a mode similar to aperture priority. Pre-select the aperture you want with the lens ring, set the focus manually and then close the aperture with Or alternatively, set the minimum aperture on the lens and just use the adapter ring to open and close. I have only one problem with only one lens and that is a Samyang 8mm fisheye lens. It doesn't want to focus close with this lens. The fisheye lens seems too close to the sensor with this adapter. For this reason I am buying another adapter with a built in helicoid to use with my fisheye lens.

All in all a very good camera for the price!

very good for security. excellent picture even at night

Honestly, I can't find a better home security camera for the price
