Matt:

The camera works well. If I had it to do over I would buy it again. The only time I was not satisfied was in 40’ when the visibility was two feet. I have spoken to people with expensive units and they had the same experience.

I do not have experience with other brands however I was at the bass pro shop in Vegas and they had the same set-up with two exceptions, the name was different and the price was double. It was called Sports Cam.

The way it was set up at BPS was, there was 4 cameras in the aquarium and the monitors were set up on a near by table. The Sports Cam was the cheapest unit on display and had a better picture than units that cost double. There was a monitor that had a slightly better picture but the price was in the high rent district. Obviously this demo was done in clear water.

Hope I have helped.
