Because it is older technology, the image quality and resolution was good for its time. Many of the newer cams have better imaging because they are using the latest sensors. The trouble is they don't transmit images in that high resolution. The somewhat newer X80 is 5 megapixel and transmits at full resolution.How is the detection and image quality?
Detection is great! Cams use a PIR circuit and sensor. Most of the cheap cams have a short wide detection cone and they are slow to trigger. This means you often get just head and tails and they are subject to a lot of false alarms. These camera have a very fast trigger with a long narrow detection cone. Positioning is a bit more sensitive with these but you don't miss anything and the false trigger rate is low. Years ago we did a test mounting a bunch of cameras side by side and measure picture counts and false alarm rates. Reconyx and BEC by far scored the highest. Most of the inexpensive cams missed many game pictures and triggered more readily on wind and such.
