Customer Review: Never Again
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the SVAT GX5203 Wireless Portable Video Security System and an extra camera to use for home security.
As it happens after a month of trying, I'm convinced that this is a toy and not a very good toy at that. It isn't meant to be used in the real world.
If the cameras are in a direct line to the receiver and about 15 feet away, the picture seen is acceptable. As soon as the cameras go outside where they will be used, the image deteriorates to a point that it isn't useful.
I tried a dozen different configurations and still have a ton of interference.
I don't have land-line based telephones and couldn't figure the source of interference. As it happens after a week of trial and error, it turns out it's my Belkin N1 wireless router. Turning on the cameras results in enough cross interference the laptop signal from the router is interrupted. Cameras on, computer off. Computer on, cameras off.
Even then the image rolls, tosses and turns.
The power cord on the back of the receiver plugs in to the battery compartment. If you want to use AC power, remove all the batteries. Most inconvenient and an engineering marvel...why, why, why would any engineer see this as acceptable?
To power the cameras outside one must use standard extensions. SVAT makes a slender power extension for their indoor cameras but not for the outdoor. Go figure that one out? There is no "skinny" power supply available for the cameras that need it most.
Instructions and compatibility data are unclear at best. Customer service is very responsive and quick to reply to your email request. It's too bad the answer is always, "We can't help you with that." but at least they're fast.
The poor image, lack of usefulness due to interference and overall poor design ensure this system will end up in the junk drawer as another error in shopping. My bad.

Description of SVAT GX5203 Wireless Portable Video Security System ? 2.5-Inch LCD & Outdoor Night Vision Surveillance Camera
The GX5203 is an outdoor wireless color camera system that can be hidden for undercover indoor use. It comes with everything you need to start monitoring. The small but powerful bullethole camera is wireless and features automatic night vision (CDS sensor). As soon as it gets dark the infrared LEDs will activate and provide you with a clear view of everything, even in complete darkness! Plus, this camera has a built-in microphone so you won't miss a thing. This camera has been machined out of high grade aluminum and is packed full of quality components. The camera sends audio and video wirelessly to the handheld monitor, which has a 2.5" LCD screen for crystal clear viewing of your camera's display. Or you can connect the monitor to your TV, VCR, DVR or computer for viewing and recording purposes. This system comes with one camera, but you can add 2 more SVAT compatible cameras, and the auto feature allows you to cycle between the cameras at intervals that you choose. This system is ideal for discreet monitoring in home or business settings due to its small size and wireless capabilities.
