If not how do these specs look. I want to be able to see monitor my dog kennels at least 75ft away with OK lighting. The sales rep said that this camera is a step up from the ECL-598HIM.

Hey whats up ..

 

The 598 is a much better camera.

This might have more IR and a 5-50mm lens, but its a low resolution 1/4" camera with off colors in the daytime due to no IR cut filter. In otherwords it will look "okay" at night in low light due to the IR (once there are no spotlights or anything that can cause alot of glare), but awful in the day. Its definately a step down IMO. If you need something good with 5-50mm lens and that much IR you will unfortunately need to spend much more $$.
