But the results I see are nowhere close to that.The other problem is with the channel selection. Audio reception is alright. The picture reception is good for just about 50 ft, no more than that. The monitor stand is a good thing and the monitor can also be wall-mounted.
First of all, it works. In case you forget to select the correct channel on the monitor, then you keep loosing signal. The product description says 300 ft and ideal is 100 ft. When the monitor is within a short range, the picture quality is reasonably good, even though the colors are not that accurate.
The biggest problem is with the range. But I won't call this a real problem since selecting the right channel solves the problem. Night mode is okay as well. The camera is so small and light weight that it's better fixed on a wall than being kept on a table or something.
I turned off all of our cell phones, cordless phones, and internet (per the Tech Support's request), and the reception was still poor. To get the audible alarm to work, we had to manually touch the video camera to get the microphone to pick it up. There is a single pencil-tip thin hole on the bottom of the camera ball which is the microphone. I purchased the SVAT GX5201 after reading the favorable reviews. Who actually lives in a house without cordless phones or wireless internet, anyway.Don't be fooled by the favorable reviews - I think in the case of this product, they are "planted" reviews. The reception was horrible - even when I was in the same room as the camera, the reception was poor. I returned it 2 days after I received it. The sound, and automatic audible alarm were even worse.
The camera is OK for low light as it has infrared LEDS but the field of vision is limited, would be fine for baby watching but not enough to see around the crib if someone else is in the room until the person is by the crib. SVAT CX5201 Wireless Portable Video MonitorThe monitor works fine with the power adapter but does not work with batteries as it's supposed to do.
It was well packaged and arrived as promised. This product was excellent, just what my Neice needed for her toddler.
So we just purchased a cheap 900mhz sound monitor and it is crystal clear. The one thing I have noticed on the video/sound monitors is they almost always have a popping noise. This is definitely worth the money for the night vision alone. This is the second baby monitor that we have owned in a year, and I must say it is the best. The picture gets 5 stars but the sound gets only 3.
