Customer Review: Big drawback- interrupts wireless home network
Summary: 2 Stars
The recording quality is adequate for what it's for. I don't plan to make movies with it. I like being able to see the front and back of my house. However, the user manual is worthless. The biggest drawback is that the wireless cameras totally knock out my wireless home network. Laptops put next to the access point can't find a signal. It uses the same 2.4 GHz band as home routers. Swann said there is no solution, buy a wired system. Defeats the convenience feature, doesn't it? It could possibly interrupt your neighbor's as well. This must go for any other wireless system.
I gave this product a low score because of the wireless network problem.
Customer Review: good solution to watching my kid
Summary: 4 Stars
I connected this to a 13-inch TV I have in my office. I put the camera outside to watch when my 9-year old plays in the pool area. The camera is about 40-feet away and the signal has to go through 5 walls. The picture jumps a little once in a while but it works well enough that I can see my son clearly. The other camera is watching the front door and it works fine, especially at night. We used it to watch the trick or treaters when they came up the walk. For the money this was a good solution for me to keep an eye on my family. I recommend it to anyone looking for an extra way to keep watch on their kids.Customer Review: Not bad for the money spent
Summary: 4 Stars
While they're not the best camera on the market, they do work well in good light. The integral video-switcher is handy, allowing you to stop (and stay) on just one camera -or- allow it to sequence through all 4 channels, assuming you have four cameras. As I said, for the dollar spent I feel the quality is more than acceptable and they're a breeze to setup and get running. If you're looking for fast-n-easy, this will do the trick. Note: The cameras come with their own AC wall-wart, but can be powered by an individual 9volt DC battery as well since those adapters are included as well with each camera.Customer Review: Decent cameras
Summary: 3 Stars
We use these as video monitors in our kids room. I only gave it three stars because it does get static and sometimes makes funny clicking noises. Usually we can get it to go away by moving the attenna. One of the channels interferred with our wireless internet but the two we have them on now do not. It's probably a good system for the money. I don't know what to compare them to or if the static and clicking is normal. I like the remote and that you can have it switch between the cameras - however it does go fairly quickly. Overall pretty decent camera.Customer Review: NightHawk

I was replacing a broken receiver when I ordered this package. I also ordered the Twin camera package and a Bulldog. What I don't know or did not get is a splitter or some way to conbine all the cameras together. They all seem compatible but I need some way to use all equipment purchased. I need to video tape gates to Storage Units and watch all activity on others. Thank You for any advise you can give.
