Length:: 0:56 Mins
Works OK, but as others have stated the field of view is real narrow. I put this as far away as I could get it and it still doesn't cover even half of my patio. For reference: the far wall of my patio is around 18-20ft away from the camera and a 6ft tall person (me) standing about 5ft from the far wall gets chopped off.
If I had to do it again, I would have probably ordered one of the other "birdcam" models. They have SLIGHTLY wider FOV, even though they are like $50 more. I'd pay much more to get real wide angle like 24mm equivalent or better, but I see nothing out there at any price (except for homebrew stuff). If anyone reading this has found a better setup, please comment.
As a side note: you can see the dynamic range issues for the camera when part of the patio is in the sun and the rest is not (the camera is pointing ESE at this location). But frankly I expect that. This is not a high quality digital camera you're getting for $100. I don't see where the other guy is complaining when he points the camera into the sun and gets lens flare. Wow, really? If you put the light source at your back you get acceptable results.
Pros:
-It's cheap.
-It's easy to program for timelapse pix.
-It's weatherproof.
-Good battery life.
Cons:
-Narrow FOV.
-No real viewer to preview when setting up (more annoying since I have to put this in awkward places due to the narrow FOV).
-Fairly cheapo camera. Some cell phones are better these days. But then it does the job.
EDIT-->
The uploaded video looks REALLY bad on Amazon. The graininess is not in the original. I'll put in some frames as pictures to give a better idea of the image quality. Made the video using "Avidemux" which is a free tool. May come in handy for others making videos from a group of jpegs.
