We purchased this security camera at a good price (cheaper than the amazon list price). The setup couldn't have been easier. It is a standalone unit without the need of a computer. However, if you are technically inclined you can set it up with your PC for remote monitoring. The range of wireless is good, it claims 300ft, we tested within a radius of 150 ft and the reception and signal was excellent. It can serve as a good basic/intermediate security systems.
As I reviewed other security cameras in Amazon, the specs looks exactly like a SVT security camera which has has decent reviewes. In addition to security other users have found much better uses of this type of systems, such as bird watching, cat fights in the backyard :)
The other reviewer has raised an important point. His speculation, however, does seem like a speculation. The reception in our camera doesn't degrade or lost signal with time.

So Good, I Ordered Another!

| This camera works great! I placed the camera in the front window to monitor who's at my front door. Hook up was easy. Took less than five minutes. Picture quality is good, with no interference. Since this unit is expandable, I ordered another one to monitor the backyard. I'm using them from inside the windows to view out. If I wanted to drill wire holes through my home, I would have bought a hardwired camera system. These cameras are pretty cool. I'm going to hook them up to an old VHS CCTV recorder that I found on an auction site. The old VHS unit is minimal expense (18 bucks including shipping!) in comparison to the new DVRs and I'll be able to see who was at my home while I was away. I recommend this camera for ease of operation, picture quality, expandability, and low cost. |
Great for security

| This wireless camera system was one of the few that could be used outdoors. It was very easy to connect, has a really clear picture, has excellent wireless range, works better than expected at night and even has an audio feature that was an unknown bonus. I bought it on amazon at a great price and it came right away. I actually gave it as a gift (easily installed) to someone who lives alone and now has it pointed at their front door. it was a total win. |

For the price, this camera is a good value.
It does not use the 2.4GHz footprint, so it does not interfere with WiFi or bluetooth.
I have tested the range out to about 100ft, through a brick wall.
Picture quality at night is reasonable for a low-end camera: Nothing spectacular, but not bad. The IR has a very LIMITED range -- maybe 15 feet. The camera, when used in daytime "color" mode has a decent picture, and at night when used with a separate illumination source, such as an IR illuminator.
The packages that come with two cameras and one base only support sequence view, where the base switches from camera 1 to camera 2, then back to camera 1. If you use this with a DVR, you need a base for each camera. I have two of these operating concurrently on different channels as a stop-gap until I can get the cabling run for my other cameras. They work well together, with no interference.
By default, the camera and base are configured for "frequency 1", so for the second camera, you have to disable frequency 1 and enable frequency 2 on the base, then switch the camera frequency to frequency 2. On the base, there are two dip switches, representing the two frequencies, so you flip both dip switches to their opposite position. On the camera, there is a slide switch under the hood at the back of the camera.
The camera is capable of running for about 3 hours on a 9V battery, which is nice if you have a specific event that you want to capture, without having to run a cable.
The camera base is NOT removable, vs. most cameras where you can unscrew the base and use a different mount. Likewise, the hood is also NOT removable.
