Product Description

Want professional quality surveillance that you can take with you and record footage for future reference? The GX5400 allows you to see and hear what is happening on the handheld monitor, giving you portable video surveillance. This portable security is possible through the 2.4 GHz system that includes a high-resolution camera with a built-in microphone and a 2.5-inch colour TFT-LCD screen monitor. This system also includes a built-in DVR with the functions to set recording to manual, motion detection or schedule recording times. The use of memory cards allows for recording storage and portability (a 128MB CF card holds up to 60 minutes). The system also includes video overlay recording date and time. Search and play recorded video at your convenience or when necessary. The GX5400 can see what is happening in the light but also in near total darkness through SVAT NITEVU technology. The eight infrared LEDs light up the darkness to see up to fifteen feet away. The portability of the monitor allows you to keep a watch at all times. The built in speaker, audio and motion detection capabilities make sure you do not miss a sight or sound. The GX5400 camera is wall mountable. The monitor allows you to plug the camera into any AC outlet or run on AA batteries (not included). The GX5400 can be used in any location and is ready for instant use. This is made possible with the easy mobility of the monitor and camera and the fact that the system does not require wiring.

I got this after reading another review that doesn't appear anymore? They stated they got their neigbors wireless camera from next door. I can see my neigbors (signal comes and goes) from about 200' down the street in my house so I'm impressed. Mine can flip thru the 4 standard 2gig frequencies and record. I haven't been able to play with the motion sensor part. You have to use the menu to format the CF card (memory) and my old spare 16mb card will only record 1 min on high def so a large 2,4 gig card would be handy. You can get audio if the cam has it and adjust the volume from off to high which is nice. I got mine used from shoptronics, it was perfect and shipping was quick. I have a router and it hasn't interfered so far.

Hi, we got this camera to see any action on our driveway. It took a couple of hours to figure out the exact set-up, with one call to SVAT(which was returned promptly), and a bit of tweeking, but in the end we are happy with it. Crystal clear during the day, great reception. At night, not sure if it's because we have sensor lights on, but you definitely couldn't make out "who" was walking up to the door. You could see the car, not the plate number, and tell there was someone, but that's it. We haven't turned the sensor lights off to see if that works better. At first it was filming non-stop and running out of memory on the card within a few hours, but after setting the quality and sensor properly, we have it working perfectly. Good camera for the price.

This concept of this product is what I wanted but after using, there are two major issues I encountered.

1. If you have a wireless network in your home, it knocks it off. Could not figure why my WiFi (N) was going down. After unplugging the camera, my WiFi came back up. Did it several time to be sure. It was definitely the transmitter on the camera. My wireless home network is "N", not sure if this problem will be the same for the B/G wireless networks.

2. The second issue i had was after turning the power on for the DVR and press "Record" I have to format the memory card every time. So if you have recording that you want to save, you will have to use a different memory card.

The system works OK but if you can deal with the two issues above, it will work for you.

Hopes this helps with your purchase.
Thanks
