 Good camera for the money but...Jan 21, 2010
By D. Keifer
"AV Guy"
I bought this at Lowes home store and I was impressed at first at the value.
Good: Clear video in well lit conditions - has microphone that works pretty well - comes complete with a 60ft long cable and power supply - comes with two mounts
Bad: The box says it is indoor/outdoor - the instructions say it should not get wet and needs to mounted in a sheltered location (semi-outdoor?) - it cannot be mounted behind a window or screen for nightime use because the infared LED's will reflect back into the camera rendering it useless
This is a great camera for indoors for the money. It is not a great camera for outdoors. You'll need to spend more for that.

Excellent Basic Security CameraApr 17, 2011
By n7kmj
I am running several of these GE 45231 Security cameras on my Ubuntu/Zoneminder system configured 320x240, black and white. These do color reasonably well, but color is a waste of system resources. They are providing excellent results (reasonably sharp image) during daylight hours. However, "unaided" night vision is severely limited and grainy. With the "aid" of extra outside lighting, however; they are plenty adequate. Facial features are easily recognizable up to 30 feet during the day, although "license plate" recognition will not be possible with these cameras. These cameras are fairly small and are easy to install. They come with a power cube. Video and power is contained in one cable. I had to cut the cable from the camera during installations to past the cable "through-the-wall, otherwise a fairly large hole would be required to pass the video and power connectors. Cutting the cable enabled only a 3/16th hole versus a 1/2in or larger, otherwise. I use these as outside cameras and have crafted a tin shield to keep the weather off them. I have had NO issues with condensation or moisture during adverse or wet weather operations. If you need good night time illumination during operations, these are NOT your cameras. You would be better off spending a few more dollars and purchase cameras with 30 or more IR LEDS. However, if you have supplemental lighting during night operations, these cameras work well. These cameras do have a few IR LEDs, but realistically, are barely useful for anything other than catching critters flying in front of the lens, maximum of 5-10ft distance at their very best. This camera NEEDS good interior/exterior lighting to function well.

 Amazing little thing True colors good quality pictureOct 20, 2009
By R. Khan
I got this and its wireless version for less the Price of just one as priced here at Amazon. The wireless is not bad but has problem loosing signal too much. This particular model I have used it without a DVR card direct into my Graphic card's Video input port and also use it as webcam. It is much better than any webcam on the market in its picture quality. Night Vision is not bad at all for 9 leds.
Does a great job , very sturdy and not easy to break. Works great with 3rd party softwares Power VCR , PYE and many more. NO Drivers needed. GE like always is hard to beat even for its simple things like this cam. I use AGP 64 bit NVidea graphic card. If you have a better Graphic card I am sure your results will top.
This little cam will do a lot with almost any software if you got a VIDEO IN ( RCA TYPE) in your PC , independant card or integrated in graphic card whichever it is. It will work without asking for drivers. XP/2000/98 and Vista 32-64 bit both. I checked it on all these Platforms. Bravo ! GE
