I have some of the easy cams and I also have some proof cams. The proof cams are good cameras all three models and are quite a bit better than the easy cam. The 1 and 2 are pretty close to the same camera the 2 just has a little more range and a few more mega pixels both are low glow. The 3 is exactly like the 2 except has blackout led instead of low glow. $29 for gen2 01 is as good of a deal as you find on a good middle of the road camera.
