Product Description

Want a professional security camera that is durable, stylish and can see in the dark? The Clearvu Pro 31 is a quality surveillance camera that has all these features and more. Its high resolution (420 TV lines) and sharp color CCD sensor assures you crystal clear imaging both day and night, indoors and outdoors. The night vision capabilities of the CV31 are astounding. It features 24 built-in infrared LEDs that allow you to see your camera's video in the dark, illuminating surrounding objects up to 45 feet away! The built-in CDS sensor will automatically turn on the LEDs only when it gets dark, which saves on energy costs. The camera's stylish housing is made of anodized aluminum that protects the camera and will not rust. It is dust proof and rain proof, and will even protect the camera from low pressure jets of water coming from any direction (IP rating: IP65). This camera can be easily connected to your TV, VCR, computer or DVR through its RCA connection. The mounting bracket has a large range of motion so you can monitor a large area of your property.

needed to buy a adapter to get it to work with my security system and it was only $4 at radioshack A+ camera but note it doesn't have audio so its ideal for out door use


These don't last...

Review by Ferny, 2010-07-27

I purchase 3 of these and after less than one year of use 2 of them have failed.


As good as stated.

Review by D. M. Pepper, 2010-06-03

So far I have bought seven of these cameras .To date they all have preformed well with the exception of the last one I installed today. It had a cystal clear picture on it during the day but tonight has a little RF drift that is rolling over the screen.I had these professionally installed so it could be that this camera was installed with some part of the connection not shielded well.I will call the installer tomorrow to see.I have one that hasn't been installed yet so actually the only review I can give on these is on six of the ones installed. I give these camera's an A+ for performance and price.Better than most and maybe as good or not as good as higher priced.Not sure because I have only owned on very high priced camera.Price on that one was 3000.00 but it wss a ptz and I expected it to be way better .Anyway over all the camera's are as stated in their decripition and overall im delighted with them ,so much I bought one to start with and so far have bought an additional six.


Fire Hazard

Review by Philip Fleming, 2010-04-07

When I opened the box and started to put the camera components together I smelled the tell-tale odor of an electrical short circuit. As the power cord exits the transformer to power the camera, the insulation was torn allowing the cooper to be exposed. This allowed the two wires to cross and short circuit. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a new transformer. This one also had the cooper exposed as it exited the strain relief. I contact them again, they sent another transformer that had the same manufacturing flaw. They seemed to have drawn the line at replacing the faulty transformer only twice. This is the response I got from Daniel P at customer support:

"I have been informed that all the adapters for this product will have some copper coil that is visible through slots in the actual adapter."

Evidently they don't understand that the cooper that's exposed is outside the protection of the transformer case making this a fire hazard.


Good only if you schedule the activity you are trying to catch.

Review by kevinbama, 2010-03-19

I bought one of these due to increased overall "hope and change" related criminal activity lately. I read the reviews on Amazon and pulled the trigger. I was initially blown away. The picture is excellent during daylight and way better than expected at night. I have this teamed with the SVAT CVP800 mini DVR. All was well.....for a while. After about two weeks, the unit would just stop producing video. If unplugged,then plugged back up, it will begin to work again. But only temporarily. Sometimes it will work fine for four or five days, and sometimes just a couple of hours. Unplug it, plug it back up, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. Once it stops working, it will stay dead until it is powered down, then back up. So, if you can schedule the criminal mischief around your property to coincide with the times this thing works, it is an excellent purchase. Otherwise, it is just one of those fake/dummy cameras. I probably just got a lemon and could be more forgiving, if it weren't for SVAT's customer service. I called them, hoping to hear something like "Send it back. When we receive it, we'll ship you another." However, when contacted, they gave me a "return authorization" number and said "we will evaluate it, determine if it is covered under warranty, repair it and send it back in four to six weeks." "If it is determined to not be warranty related, we will repair it for fifty dollars an hour." Wow, thanks! It's obvious that SVAT is concerned about my happiness with their product. NOT! I guess I'll send the thing back for them to tinker with, once I buy a camera (not an SVAT) that actually works. Anyone have a recommendation for a more reliable camera? In the meantime, I'll just hope any video-worthy activity that happens around here, happens when the CV31 isn't on one of its many "coffee breaks".
