Do you think the Pelco CCC-1390 is a good Day/Night camera?

I just bought one new for $225.50 it is coming with an AMERICAN DYNAMICS AUTO IRIS-VARIFOCAL 3.5MM-8MM LENS I hope it's a 1.0 It only took about 70 hrs of reading out here and on Ebay to figure out that was the one I needed, Just can't get over how small it's going to be. Now I am looking for a small cylinder type housing for it . Also have a small pan and tilt coming for it. Maybe I will mount it in a bird house and mount the birdhouse on the pan and tilt. So that the bird house looks like it is sitting on the fence. What do you all think? Is it a good camera? What do you think of the bird house idea? Thanks for the input. Dave

Not a camera I have used before, but it looks nice on paper (or pdf as its via the web) especially for that price.

 

I like the gaming mode, that is not something I have seen before, ideal for anyone wanting to use the cam in a pub / club / casino where there are gaming machines.

 

Even nicer is the fact its pelco-d or p compatible so you can remotely configure the camera, rather than fiddle around at the camera with the menus you can do it at the monitor end in comfort - and see the results of the fiddling.

 

Day/night filter is remotely controllable which is another nice looking feature, not sure what I would use that feature for, but its nice to know its possible should it be required.

 

Looks like they forgot to fuse it properly when they built it, hence the need to use your own 1A fuse externally within 4 inches of the camera if powering it of 12v, but thats a small price to pay for the fact they managed to design so many features in to a nice small case.

 

Its even got masking, another nice feature if you need to set up a privacy mask to avoid looking into areas you should not be seeing. Often you would have to do that at the recording or telemetry part.
