This review is from: Black & Decker FWMC Freewire Monitoring Camera (Electronics)

This is not a complete package, but is the camera and power supply only. It does not include the base unit you plug into your TV to see the picture. As near as I can tell, Amazon does not sell the starter kit that includes the receiver unit, one camera, and a multifunction TV remote control. This item is suitable only for those wishing to add another camera.

Having said that, I have to say I'm surprised at how well the system (camera and receiver) works in my particular set up. I have the camera down on the ground floor and the receiver on the second floor on the opposite side of the building. There is a lot of plumbing (two bathrooms) and wiring (electrical, network, and telecom) between the camera and receiver, but the picture is usually acceptable. This is a low-power device, however, so that nearly anything that can create an electromagnetic field or emit radio frequency signals may cause the picture to break-up.
