GeoVision GV-TDR2700 2MP, 2.8mm, Low Lux, WDR,IR Mini Rugged Dome, H.265

I got these for my home security surveillance after having dozens of these installed at my place of work and handling the various elements inside and outside at a meat packing facility that requires washdowns, etc.... Very durable and tamper proof vs other styles where clowns can grab or hit with broom sticks.

Good picture quality

I purchased one of these 2MP cameras and two of their 4MP versions from a different site. The 2MP version can actually do 30fps which is a must for security, but the 4MP can only do 20fps. I thought I would give them a shot to see if the quality was as good as GeoVisions “Target” series that I also have. I’m very disappointed with these cameras vs. the Target series. I’ve compared picture quality and I can’t tell a difference between the 2MP and 4MP. I’m also having a hard time setting the bit rate. I have a full CAT6 network and my GV-Target series cameras are running at full quality and full bit rate at 30fps no problem. When I set these cameras to full quality and full bit rate they basically record one frame every couple seconds and then they disconnect. I’m going to wait to find a good deal on more Target series cameras and maybe re-sell these. Another huge problem was the Ethernet connector on these. If you’re installing these on a ceiling or wall, and you want to conceal the cables behind it, you need to drill a 1in hole just to push all the connectors through. The GV-Target series only needs a hole the diameter of a CAT6 cable. I don’t recommend these at all.

Nice camera for the price. Setup can be tricky if not familar with geovision universe.
