Pretty good little flashlight, March 16, 2009

I have had a few of these for a number of years. I like to keep one in my pocket for general purpose. They are small and bright. I think the bulbs may have a problem with the higher voltage on a lithium ion battery though.

I've owned the black blast for 7+ years and have used it 200/360 av. per yr with total satisfaction. I just ordered a few more and a replacement bulb after a 8ft. drop on concrete.
( : D ) Clips on your ball cap and tension is still strong as new.

Very bright light and reliable, August 26, 2009

This review is from: Princeton Tec Blast 2AAA Xenon Flashlight (Sports)

I've owned this tiny compact flashlight for over four years. It gives off a very bright light. The battery life isn't as good as an LED flashlight, but this compact flashlight is significantly brighter than similar LED flashlights. So if you value brightness, get this flashlight. If you have very long battery life, then get an LED flashlight instead.

For what it does and for its size, this tiny flashlight is great.

Utility,Quality & Price ,unified !I, June 18, 2008

Jerome W. Burke -

I own a pair of these 8x36 I.F./R. Binoculars.
ONE MUST GET TO KNOW ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF THE RETICULE & HOW TO EXPLOIT IT'S USE TO THE MAX ! THIS IS A GREAT BARGAIN FOR THE SERIOUS USER. IT IS NOT A GOLF TOOL OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF TOY. I OWN JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM ZEISS TO YOU NAME IT,IF IT IS TOP NOTCH QUALITY & ON MILITARY SPEC.LINES.

Individual Focus has many advantages & is easy to learn about. It works on the principal of optical depth of field. Once learned,one will find that it needs a lot less fussing with the focusing, plus it is much more rugged & watertight !

Product came with a poorly translated user's manual. Technical specs don't match with the website. Contacted ATN about this issue and did not get response. Googling found many cases of false advertising with ATN. Avoid this company!

Comment on Wansview NCH-536MW Wireless/Wired Pan & Tilt H.264 Megapixel IP/Network Camera with Night Vision, IR Cut and 4mm Lens Reviews by phoneguy

Piece of Junk -- Avoid, September 20, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Wansview NCH-536MW Wireless/Wired Pan & Tilt H.264 Megapixel IP/Network Camera with Night Vision, IR Cut and 4mm Lens (Electronics)

I was attracted to this camera since it's one of the very few IP cams with greater than VGA resolution.

Setup was straightforward, typical of this sort of product. Understanding networking basics helps a lot. Couldn't get video using Firefox, it tried to use a Quicktime plugin, and couldn't handle the stream. Works OK with IE though. Web server is an enhanced version of what is supplied in the Smarteye H-series camera, very straight-forward to use.

The main problem is just a profound lack of sensitivity. It is far less sensitive than a cheap Foscam I use. In dim room lighting, I get nothing in daylight mode. Totally black. Turning on IR mode, I get enough light for maybe 3-4 feet of range, with brightness cranked full up. I do have the camera mounted upside down, it's possible the IR cut filter is always active, which would explain the lack of IR performance. I'll experiment next time I have the chance.

Performance with daytime lighting is adequate, noticeably better than VGA quality. Motion detect seems inconsistent, but that seems to be common in cheap IP cameras from what I've seen.

-----------

Update after a couple more weeks of use. I was afraid I might have been a bit harsh. Not so. Motion detection is terrible, I'm using a sensitivity of 40 which gives some false alarms due to cloud movement. Camera is pointed down towards the ground from the second story, but shadows still trigger. Unfortunately, sometimes a truck can drive right through the middle of the scene, and the camera won't trigger, or won't trigger until it's already through. Also, the thing can crash when you're administering it, requiring a power cycle to recover it. Real inconvenient when it's 40 miles away.

Purchased two cameras to cover the parking lot at my business. The quality is mediocre at best. I would have returned them but i waited beyond the 30 day return period. Not worth the money.

Great product, December 1, 2007

This review is from: Wisecomm OC990 Mini Indoor Night Vision Color Security Camera with Audio and Adjustable Lens - Mini (Silver) (Electronics)

This camera is great and very inexpensive (I got it for only $65 on here). It gave us the peace of mind that we were looking for. The video and audio are both very clear. I love the night vision feature which helps me monitor my baby by night. I definitely recommend this item.

So first let me comment on where I got this from, Beach Camera. They were the lowest price, were in the same state as me, and advertised on Amazon that they only had 2 left. To me that means I should see this in about a week. Spent thousands on Amazon and it never took longer than 1 week for me to get anything. Well 3 weeks later I contacted the seller through Amazon and the next day the response was "the item you ordered shipped direct from the manufacture, it should arrive in 3 to 5 business days". I responded asking for tracking info and if they were unable to provide me with that information to cancel my order I will go somewhere else. The next business day the response was "this item shipped 10 days ago", no tracking information was provided. I wrote back "impossible, provide me with tracking or cancel my order". I never heard back from them. I filed a claim with Amazon who refunded my money and the following day my system arrived. I did contact Amazon and gave the money back. So Beach Camera was terrible, will never order anything from them again ever.

So the system claims it works for mobile devices specifically says works with IPhone and Blackberry. Well that's a lie. I got the system up and running and downloaded the IPhone app. The app had 1 star and all terrible reviews, no one who left a review was able to get it to work. I gave it a shot and it doesn't even kind of work. It loads, says it buffering and then exits out of the app on to the home screen. Would return it except I had it professionally installed and would have more money in labor then the thing is worth. The cameras ore ok, its full color during the day and black and white at night, the IR picks up just about everything. The resolution is not great, I have the video on a 42" HD set and you can't really see faces that well. If you did catch someone doing something on 1 of these systems figuring out who the person is or getting a good shot is probably not possible. For the $400 price bracket for a 4 cam system I guess its ok but def not as good as advertised.

Nice concept but lots of problems, May 8, 2008

James Young "jyh" (Indiana) -

This review is from: Lorex Dmc2161 Long-Range Indoor/Outdoor Pc Camera With Night Vision (Electronics)

I bought one of these from Best Buy. Tried to set it up but got a hardware failure when I plugged it in the USB port. Tried it on two other computers and got the same error. Called tech support. They said I needed to update my usb drivers for my computer. Maybe I'd believe that if it happened on one computer but not 3!

I took it back and got another one. This time the driver installed ok but their viewer application wouldn't find the camera. Took it to another computer and installed and reinstalled the software several times. Could not get their viewer software to work. However, XP's native driver saw it ok and would let me view the video.

Camera quality as written by others is not all that good but it does have night vision.

As I said, it is a nice idea. I really wanted a camera with both day and night video capability but this camera is nearly impossible to install and then I could never get their viewing software to work.
