The camera works on the whole. The camera supports TF card. The tricky thing is that the TF slot is located inside the camera with no external slot. One needs to unscrew the lense cover to insert the TF card. Hope the product description will include instruction on installing TF card. I noticed that the image is overexposed in the centre at night.
My C16s camera had malfunctioning infrared night vision and water leakage. It was too much a hassle to repair or re-send the unit within warranty period. So I bought a new C17S camera as it can use my existing cabling and seemed to be an upgrade. The image quality of C17s looks the same as the old C16s during the day. The camera C17s seems to have a powerfull infrared, so much so that the night vision tends to be overexposed and unclear in the middle of the image frame (See photo attached). This might be fixed by the manufacturer thru a firmware update or by re-orientating the infrared beam away from the centre to spread infrared light evenly across the entire field of vision. A minor gripe: the TF card is inside the casing, which was not mentioned in the product instruction or description. All in all, I'm disappointed by C17s due to its poor night vision.
