Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sylvania SY2500 2.4 GHz Wireless B/W Video Security System is a complete and incredibly simple solution for remotely monitoring a small area. With built-in wireless technology, the monitor can receive a signal from up to 300 feet away (with a clear line of site), allowing the plug-and-play camera to be placed almost anywhere. Not only is the SY2500 perfect for areas where installing cable is not convenient, the camera includes a built-in microphone and speaker, allowing you to not only hear, but also speak to your camera's location. With features such as audio/video outputs for recording to a VCR, the Sylvania SY2500 is an ideal solution for hassle free monitoring of your baby's room or your child's play area.

The SY2500's receiver utilizes the 2.4 GHz signal system allowing reception through walls and ceilings, and has a built-in five-inch black-and-white monitor for viewing your camera's image. Utilizing a 0.33-inch black-and-white CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor, the Sylvania SY2500's camera includes a 3.7mm wide-angle fixed lens and delivers a resolution of 420 horizontal TVL (TV lines). Excellent in low-light conditions, this camera can receive a usable picture at a minimum illumination of 0.5 Lux. The Sylvania SY2500 camera and monitor both run on 12-volts DC power adapters (included), and the camera can operate in temperatures ranging from -14 to 122-degrees Fahrenheit.

Technical Features:

• Wireless range: up to 300 feet (clear line of sight)
• Sensitivity: receivable picture at 0 up to 10-feet with IR LEDs
• Resolution: monitor up to 280 TVL at center, camera 240 horizontal TVL
• System operating temperature: 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit
• Monitor dimensions: 7 x 7 x 7 inches (W x D x H)
• Camera dimensions: 2.125 x 4.25 x 1.75 inches (W x D x H)

Designed primarily for indoor use, the Sylvania SY2500 camera and monitor system deserves serious consideration as one of the most user-friendly, complete, and portable monitoring solutions that anybody can set up and operate without requiring a major installation. The SY2500's monitor is compatible for use with up to two cameras, so you can expand this unit's capability to cover more rooms or larger areas. Users should note that the CCD image sensor in the camera may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so the camera should not be mounted or pointed directly at the sun or other bright-light sources.

About Surveillance Camera Technical Features
Lux rating is the measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light, and stands for the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle from one meter away. Thus a sensitivity of three would mean a camera could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper-sized object that was illuminated by the equivalent of three candles from one meter away. The lower the level, the better the camera's ability to work in low-light conditions. The camera's resolution should be greater than or equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor. The S/N, or signal to noise ratio, is an important measure of a camera's quality. A poor camera, low-light conditions or poor wiring causes "noise" which consumes processing power and disk space. A camera with a wide dynamic range is ideal, especially for recording areas in which both indoor and outdoor light are present. CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise. CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors offer less image quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient.

When we found out we were expecting a baby, this is the first thing my husband bought. This little unit works great! We have the camera mounted in the nursery and the video monitor in the living room. We get a clear picture with great sound. We can even hear the birds chirping outside our baby's window. The best part? We can see our baby even with NO lights on in the nursery. The t.v. monitor is so light, it can be carried anywhere in the house and plugged in.
