Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SVAT GX5203 Wireless Portable Video Security System - 2.5-Inch LCD & Outdoor Night Vision Surveillance Camera
Customer Review: Good but has some flaws.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this system specifically to have a wireless monitor to watch the front of the house from inside the car before opening the garage door. In my case the fact the cameras are wireless wasn't important because I could draw wires to the camera location.
The system is reasonably good but has some flaws.
One thing is that it suffers a lot from interference with 2,4GHz cordless phones. Even if the phone is on the base it keeps sending signals will create white lines or pulses that completly mar the image, you really can't see a thing.
If you keep the base more than 30 ft away or change the cordless phone to something with a different frequency than it solves the issue. I did not have interference with my Linksys Internet Router though.
Second thing is that you need to remove the batteries to plug the power supply to the display. This is a pretty stupid design as you cannot leave it plugged on AC power and simply disconnect to take it with you. The receiver even comes with a wall support but if you want mobility, consider purchasing two kits with displays or another kit with camera + receiver with RCA outputs (cheaper).
The IR LEDs will illuminate about 10-15 ft. radius, so an IR illuminator is something to consider.
The range is reasonable and the image quality is reasonable. I have some doubts it is really weatherproof, probably will seal some silicone RTV just in case. Also the power jack to the camera isn't sealed for water.
Bottom line: It works, but has some flaws. I think the price is reasonable for what you get.

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. The camera and monitor are both powered by AC adapters but are also battery operable for ultimate portability (camera uses 9V battery; monitor uses 4 AAA batteries or rechargable battery pack - GX519B, not included). It includes: 1 color camera, 1 LCD monitor, 2 power adapters, 3.5mm to RCA (male) wire, Portable battery clip, mounting bracket, mounting hardware, instruction manual, on-line/toll free tech support and 1 year warranty.
