Interesting how different reviews can vary. I bought this unit because my wife couldn't see who was at the front door without approaching the door. So this combination of camera and monitor looked like it would do the trick. Once it arrived, I installed the unit and we were off and running. There were a few drawbacks: (1)had problems powering the camera with a battery, (2)power cord with camera limits your placement options. Once I figured out that the AC connections was in the battery compartment the monitor was all set. For long term use, the battery option really won't work too well. The monitor picture did have some interference lines but not enough to distort the picture. We didn't really care about the mic/volume so we turned it down. Overall, not a bad product that keeps the wife feeling secure and happy.

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.

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.

We just received the product along with an extra camera. During the day the picture is clear, but at night, we can't see a thing out of one of the cameras. It might be that we have them too high up, so I will contact support tomorrow. Also I believe my satelite internet is causing the line that's going through it, and sometimes it gets fuzzy.
I bought an RC jack to attach to our computer and an external hard drive so we can record 24hrs a day......
Ok so I would say it's between a 3 & 4 now. We moved one camera to the house, right above the garage, and lowered the other camera to 12 feet. It's still hard to make out a clear picture at night. The CSR was great over the phone and said it all has to do with how many led lights you have around the camera. I did move my wi-fi connectors and anything else that's 2.4gh can interfier(?), but we no longer have the line down screen.
All in all it's a good set up for the money, I just wish we had a clearer picturer a night.

I purchased the SVAT GX5203 Wireless Portable Video Security System / Plus 2 extra cameras to use on my camping trailer. I have 2 cameras (on magnetic bases) on the exterior of the trailer to help me see whenever I am backing the trailer into a camp site or parkling area. I attach one camera on the rear of the truck to help me align the truck hitch and the trailer receiver - I can usually hit the spot the first time because I can monitor the hitch in the LCD Monitor. At night we place the cameras around the trailer to keep track of the kids bikes and camping equipment. A great adaptation of a great product.
