Fake HD Cameras come under the spotlight


Online auction sites are full of tremendous claims regarding camera specifications but the reality is that webcams and CCTV cameras rarely offer the performance they claim. Knowing the true specification of your camera has never been an easy task but that is about to change.

One camera we purchased from the popular eBay site claiming to be Full HD 1080p and offering a Lux of just 0.01 turns out to be nothing more than Standard definition and a daytime Lux of an amazing 10. That means that not only is the picture quality just 25% of what you think you've ordered but you would only view any action in good daylight and you have little chance of catching the true action when you need to.

Here at Easylife we have become increasingly frustrated with deceptive marketing techniques and the mis-selling of CCTV cameras, so we've decided to do something about it. Visitors to our online webcam site, easylife.com, can now check their webcams for free.


Here is an example of what you can expect to see when you connect a poor quality CCTV webcam.


At Easylife we recommend only high quality CCTV cameras. Choose wisely! Here is how it should look.
