Great for the price
(4 out of 5) by Marty on Jul 8, 2006 (Buffalo, NY)Shipped on time, pretty clear picture for something wireless(Same as wired). Sometimes you get a lot of interference while you walk in the path of the signal, but I can't complain for the price and ease of installation. No Interference with other wireless products. Night vision and the ability to turn off microphone would have been a plus for versility. You need to play with the tuning and receiver location a little, but I would definitely purchase again. Signal goes through several layers of walls and probably 50-75 feet just fine. Thanks!

Excellent little camera but drains battery quickly
(4 out of 5) by R. David Rose on Sep 21, 2006 (Philadelphia, PA)Great little camera for the money. Wireless is a plus, I purchased two, one to monitor my mother who is recovering from surgery, and one to see who's at the door. Works great for both.
Pros: Small
Hooks up to TV(I have PIP capability and this camera is perfect for use with that.
Wireless
Decent range although I've heard you can build a patch antenna that will improve range and clarity.
Cons: Camera drains 9 volt battery rather quickly, best used hooked up to ac battery eliminator.

Amazing little tech for the price!
(5 out of 5) by Bruce E on Jan 14, 2007 (New York)It does exactly what it says which is pretty good for the price. No, it is not superb, sharp detailed video and the low light reception is not great, but it does not claim otherwise. For the price, an excellent bargain and can be used exactly as advertised. I have the video output hooked up to a mini video recorder with a 1GB SD card. I can view the playback on the PVR 3" screen or put the SD card in my computer and view the results. The entire surveillance package with this set up can fit in a small old cigar box. I bought it to find out what is knocking over my garbage cans while at work!

Picture Quality is Good for the price
(4 out of 5) by Richard Taft on Sep 4, 2007Based on the reviews I read about this product I purchased it. It arrived much quicker then I had thought.
I must admit I can't rave about the picture quality. It needs a lot of light to render any kind of color, and even then the picture is kind of muddy with low contrast. It is a good camera for the price, but don't expect to get TV quality images out of it. Cordless phones and your Wireless network will interfere with the picture making it jump and have black or blue bands of distortion. But it does have very good distance to it. I was able to place the Camera on a fence post about 50 yards from the receiver and still was able to get a picture. They also show this camera next to a penny in some of the ads. The lens is about the diameter of a penny, but the cube case is about the size of a quarter, still a very small camera. The other thing not mentioned in the ad was that the receiver and the camera each can be set to one of three different channels. This will allow you to have up to three cameras on the one receiver. You can manually switch between each camera or have the receiver scan through them.
Overall I am happy with the camera, and will have lots of fun trying to use it around the house.
