Customer Review: Junk!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
What a piece of junk!! Stuff keeps getting stolen from my car, so I need it a camera to catch whom ever is doing it!!
I got this Mini Wireless Camera for around $30, which is not so bad! Shipping was $15, HALF of what I payed for the camera!!
So I connect the receiver and set up the camera with a battery! The picture and sound were clear, good quality!
Next day I checked it and I was not getting a audio or video! I thought maybe it was a dead battery, I replace the battery, and nothing!
I plug the power cable. Kept turning back and forth the frequency knob for 15-20 minutes!!Try changing the channel on the back, and still nothing!!
What piece of junk! It worked for roughly 13 hours! I'm know my way with electronics and I did everything to make it work.
There no interference, I had it away from other electronics and metals!! This is my experience with this camera! Beware!!
Customer Review: What do you expect to get for the money?
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the first wireless camera I ever bought. Got more than I expected for the price. We put it out in the goat barn some 100' from the house, and were able to monitor the animals...they act alot diffrently when your not around. The reception had some sort of static interference, but the picture was clear and the sound worked too. Great camera for the money, especially if you have closer to the reciever. Oh and another tip: Don't leave it low enough for the animals to reach it. You know how they say goats eat anything? Well, I need a new camera. I think based on how well we liked having the camera in the barn (We want to monitor the females when the give birth in the spring), I will get another. I think it will be a little better quality, but this one definately gave us an idea on what to expect. I would recommend it to someone who wants a cheap camera for monitoring a room close by.Customer Review: Doesn't work for long
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought two of these hoping that the first one was an erroneous anomaly in the production line. I returned the first one and tried again with the second.
My conclusion is that the camera doesn't last for long. I plugged the camera into the wall socket using the provided connection and after about 10 minutes the camera was very hot and the wire connection was too. And then it stopped working. I had to wait for a while for it to work again. I kept doing that for a while. Then I tried the camera with a battery and it lasted longer the first few times (worked for approx. 30-45 minutes) but now Im having trouble with it again. It stops working after a while.
I'm using it for a robot car. I receive the video signals on a workstation and then send commands to it via radio frequency. I think Im going to return this second one and get something else.
Customer Review: Great wireless camera.
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent camera (sound mic too!) Great value. Uses those little red, white & yellow "RCA" cables compatable with most TVs, DVD players & home entertainment ctrs.
The camera itself is TEENY TINY. If you ever played dice ("craps") - imagine a camera as small as one single die!
PROBLEMS: (not deal-breakers, and you'll notice I gave this a 5-star rating)
1. The first model I received had wouldn't work. I returned it, and the merchant exchanged it for better one which worked fine.
2. It can be powered by either plugging it into a wall, or using a 9-volt battery. Well, "no". The battery doesn't work (I tried 3 different batteries; none worked). So I just used an extention cord - problem solved.
This is the least expensive wireless camera I could find, and I'm very pleased!
Customer Review: Decent Starter camera, you get what you pay for.
Summary: 3 Stars
You get what ya pay for. The camera is mounted on a wall, about 10 feet from the reciever. there are 2 walls between the cam and reciever and you really have to fine tune the knob to get rid of the lines in the picture. Being near the computer for my DVR, the reception is constantly being interfered with. The phones are 2.4G as well so they may have a play in the issues.
Other than all these issues, it's not a bad camera for the price you pay. The more ya pay, the better the camera, simply put. I'm sure that under more ideal conditions (ie; better line of site, less interferance from home electronics)it would be a great nany cam, watch the dogs, babysitter, theives, etc, etc. But in all this, I've learned that I will not by a cheap one over a better, more expensive camera with a Sony Chipset or similar camera.
