Conflicts with other 2.4GHz devices
I had a lot of interference problems using the SVAT GX5203, I noticed that as soon as I disconnected my cordless phone (Panasonic 2.4GHz) the problem was solved, moving the receiver and/or the phone to another location did not work, so I had to replace my phone with a newer DECT 6.0 and everything worked just well. The reception range is pretty good and the image quality is a bit under my expectations, sound is clear and the camera seems to be tough enough for outdoor usage. The fact that the batteries need to be removed to plug the AC/DC adapter is beyond my understanding.

Nice securtiy for me
I bought the SVAT GX5203 security system because the way my home is sitting I can not see the driveway nor the walkway to my house.
It works great for that. At first I thought the monitor was not working very well but I realized I had to move it to get the reception just right and work around the microwave, cordless phone etc. I have it hooked to a 13 inch TV because I decided it was easier to see. But I do like the ablility to take the small monitor with me when I am busy in the back of the house. I do have to move it around a bit sometimes to get it to come in but I realized it depended on where I posistioned the monitor in relation to the camera. I have the camera mounted under the eaves outside.
Also my cat chewed the electric cord the first week I had it and I wrote general support and recieved an answer by the next day and they very geneously offered to send a replacement cord.
I am planning on buying another camera for my monitor. I think this is a great system for the price and I would recommend this product based on my experience with it.

Works Great For Watching Wildlife
I bought the GX5203 for viewing my driveway and entryway, both of which are not visible to most parts of the house. I ended up using the camera to view the deer and wildlife coming to a corn feeder I have set up in the woods behind my house. It works great! Granted, It is an unobstructed view (lineof sight) from the feeder to where I have the monitor, but is at least 200 feet away and the recepction is crystal clear. The night viewing is even better than the day viewing because of the infrared capability. I would recommend this to any one who needs to keep an eye on something they can't normally view.

Good enough
Robert(Cal)
Installed the product within 10 minutes. Got it so my wife can keep an eye on the kids in the yard. Daytime works great. Can't see much at night. I added two extra cameras as the system allows three total. The third interfered with wireless router, so I am down to two cameras. Overall satisfied. I gave it four stars out of five because can't see much at night, but mobility of monitor was main reason for purchase.

Good Buy - Great Product
This is a very good product, I use it to view my garage area when I am on the opposite end of the house. I can carry the portable monitor upstairs or anywhere in the house and can maintain a good reception. I have very few interruptions of signal. Overall I am happy with this given the price. The night vision is OK, but would suggest you leave an outside light on --it greatly enhances the picture quality. I also like the fact that you can have a permanent power AC adapter or battery option.
