I have this for my 4011 system. Its better than the silver spherical camera that came with the system mentioned earlier. The reception is better, motion detection is better, and the picture is clearer.

I've only had it for a few weeks so I don't know how it will work in the rain and cold. My only complaints are that the power cord is too short, the IR light is noticeable at night, and the camera doesn't swivel wide enough to extreme angles.

Its been more than a year and its still doing great. We've had rainstorms, extreme hot, and extreme cold(for the SF Bay area ~20° F). I'm going to order another one.

The little wireless sysytem works great. No wires and easy to install. The image breaks up in transmission for a few secs every now and then, but overall the image is sharp and reliable. Has a motion sensor so it beeps when it senses motion and you can even see at night............with almost no light.

I have 4 cameras, as I live in Murder City, and it gives great views and for the $$, you can't beat it. The cameras are tiny and easy to mount. Just make sure you mount 'em near electric outlets as each camera has to be plugged in,or can be hotwired, as the batteries last like 8 hours and would get expensive.

For the money a great deal for some security.

Beware of the fact that these cameras require AC Adaptors to function properly, although you can run the camera using 9V battery, you will not get more than 4 hours of power and the transmission quality will be very poor.

The camera served the us well. Night vision is a little grainy but you could make out the mare in the stall. The weather did effect the reception (thunderstorm) but we were still able to make out a faily good picture. The camera sure beat running to the barn every hour to check on mares. Well worth the money spent to get a few winks of shut eye during foaling season.

Tried the system and was just OK then moved onto the Uniden system, far superior, no video noise. Do not get this one, Uniden at the same price is far superior and a higher frequency band for much better pictures/video.

This product somehow interferes with the wifi in my house and prevents me from connecting while it's running in proximity to the computer.

I had another similar product from this manufacturer and it did the same thing. The manufacturer claims no one else has had a problem with this. However, I find this difficult to believe since setting up 2 out of 2 of their devices and getting the same result.

Additionally, there are only three channels this can run on and I bought four of them. Which means one can't have it's own channel to run on and battles with the other camera on that channel for the receivers attention. So, Just know that you can only run 3 cameras and/or 3 receivers within range of each other.

The cameras can be run off one receiver and switch the video between the three cameras or each can have it's own dedicated receiver and have full time camera. But you can't have a forth receiver. Or...if you use two cameras on one receiver...then you've used up two channels and can only add one more receiver. Did that make sense?
