I have an analog system setup at my house, with various camera upgrades that I've made over the years. I think this camera is probably my favorite, despite a lack of any kind of OSD, and its fixed lens. It's well built, has very good image quality, and has a small footprint. There's not much else to ask for. I can't say for sure but I strongly suspect that this a rebranded Dahua camera based on its design and specs.The image quality is incredible when hooked up directly to my monitor. I can't comment if it's truly 700 TVL but it absolutely transmits video at a higher quality than my DVR supports. Something to keep in mind is that his camera has a 3.6mm lens, which is a wide angle, so the further away you get from the camera, the fuzzier the image. The lens is fixed, so there really isn't anything you can do about this. If you get a non wide angle lens camera, you'll bet a cleaner image but the downside is that it can be like looking through a paper towel role when it comes to the field of view.In terms of video quality, it will be hard to find anything better in an analog system. What you'll pay for is the on screen programming (very useful if it's kept in a shadow and is directed towards sunlight) and adjustable focus. If you're looking for your first camera, do yourself a favor and run cat5 with baluns, in case you want to go digital in the future.Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. It's exposed to the elements, so I don't know how long it will last. If I have any issues, I'll update this post.EDIT: After about 2 1/2 years of use, the camera has started having issues on very cold days when the temperature drops into the single digits.
