This device is cheaply made, and for clear picture the range is barely 8-9 feet, after that you get lots of noise and your picture start to jump. not worth it and i will return mine since not usefull at all.

Great for the price. You must position the units correctly to get a good signal. Once set up correctly you get what you paid for. For me, it works fine for what I need.
Try not to mount the cameras inside the glass looking out your windows.
Outside get best picstures at night.

The video quality really lacked what I had hoped for. I returned this product.

I had a 2 camera set from Costco for about a year when one of the cameras died. So I got this 3 camera set. Even though there are only 3 cameras, the receiver scans 1 through 4. The cams are set as #1, #2, and #4. So on scan you get screen fuzz on #3, and there's no way to set it to only scan 3 cams. You can set the cam number in the camera, but it still scans 1-4. Ok, so deal with it. But 2 of the 3 cameras died after about 3 months of use. No reason for that. And I can't find anyplace to buy replacement or extra cams; you have to buy the whole set. NOT a high quality product, as shown by the price and non-existent support. I've been using the same standard web cams for years and they haven't died yet, but these don't live long. Take your chances.

I have to say that this is the absolute worst product I have ever purchased from Amazon. These cameras are cheap for a reason. I guess it is true that you get what you pay for. I am sending mine back only hours after receiving them. Honestly, this is borderline deceptive trade on someones part. Bad on you Amazon for not vetting the claims made by the manufacturer.

BAD BAD BAD..

I can not imagine anyone who has a computer network could use this set in the first place. As soon as you turn it on my entire wireless computer network is gone, kicking all the PC and MAC computers off. Then the same this as in other posts, it scans 1,2,3,4 even though there is no 3 and the remote does NOTHING!

Picture quality was OK compared to others I have tried but you have to be within 10 feet of the receiver or you not only get picture degradation, but audio pops and whatnot. Had the set for 4 hours, waist of time and money. CHINA KEEPS PUMPING OUT JUNK AND WE BUY IT, WHY. I would gladly pay 3x this amount to get a quality set but there is no competition between this $149 and $5000.

After I hooked them up I could hardly get the picture to come in. They werent that far apart either. What a waste of money.

i had this product befoe,and they work great,,I order three more aand had trouble.the put the wrong power supplies for all three.when i tried to explain the proubem on there 800 number,they told me to bad,It takes 300ma9volt ..they sent me 3-8dc 200mathat does not drive them full mode.I have tried to resolve this but ,they do not care.Im am turnig them in to the BBB IN OKLAHOMA

I brought this unit a year ago, and the range was really poor. I had made tons of adjustments but still had grainy and jumping images, so I contacted Astak customer service. I spoke to the representative and the information they gave was useless since I had already tried to turn off my home phone, wireless router, etc. I asked him via email again regarding if they carried an extended antenna for the receiver and they never responded back. I pried open the antenna and found out it was made out of cheap green wire, but the screw was similar to wireless antenna card. I went onto Ebay and brought a $5 Male SMA antenna hooked it in the receiver and WoW clear stable images to all three cameras. However, one of the color camera was defected and had black and white images.

Installed the 3 cameras within specified distance from the receiver however the interference (rolling noise) was bad on all 3. Adjustment of the camera antennas (limited due to non flexible antenna) and adjustment of the antenna at the receiver only improved reception slightly. Once one was adjusted it interfered with the reception of the other ones.


Will need to go to a wired set
