I heard the panning camera was having some problems, either way I had the 7 in. regular camera, it's all right for the price, the first one I had lasted about 4 months, and the second one around 8 months, I put a kink in the cord the second time, so it probably would have lasted longer, I would recommend a marcum like the vs380, much better lighting to allow you to see farther distances, only a couple extra bucks.
