This wireless minicam kit was a quick and easy setup right out of the box. The instructions are not terribly detailed, but they are sufficient to getting the job done. I chose to set mine up running into a computer using an
EasyCAP DC60 - USB 2.0 Audio/video Creator Capture High-quality Analog Video, which comes with Ulead Studio SE software. After installing the EasyCap to the computer and installing its Ulead software, I went to the LYD transmitter, plugged it in, hooked up the cables from it to the EasyCap and plugged one of the cameras into an outlet in another room.
From there, I went into the Ulead software and chose "Capture", picked the EasyCap (listed as VideoGrabber) from the device menu and !bang! there was video! You can focus the minicams by turning the front element and they send a decent image for the price. I am getting a bit of interference running the transmitter in my basement and the cameras on the next floor up, but it's more than acceptable.
Where this system falls flat, however, is in the fact that the YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY CHANGE CHANNELS/CAMERAS BY PUSHING A PHYSICAL BUTTON ON THE RECEIVER! Because of this, YOU CAN ONLY RECORD THE FEED FROM ONE CAMERA AT A TIME. This was not laid out in the product description. While this would work fine for applications where you have someone sitting and watching a monitor and flipping between channels, it makes this functionally a one-camera system if your intent is to record your feeds.
So, if you are looking for a wireless system to serve as part of a manual monitoring setup, this may work for you as you can add a couple of cameras to the two included and have a 4-feed setup. If, however, you want to record feeds from multiple locations while you are away, there are cheaper wireless receiver/camera setups to be had.
