Nice system. The only bad thing is this camera's battery only lasts one day. The range is good, but not that far as I thought. The quality is good, but the signal often goes crazy. I would buy it.

Okay, so, as advertised, this package came complete, down to two little mounting screws for the camera.

Camera (mounted to a small stand) with color video and single mic also includes mounting screws, a 9vdc power adapter and a 9v battery adapter.

Receiver includes video out, mono out, tuning knob, antenna, and 9v power adaptor.

Also included is a double male RCA cable to connect receiver to vcr or TV.

I also got a generic 9v battery to test everything out. I set everything up and connected the receiver to a small portable display. I eventually got sound, but no picture. My initial setup was with the 9v battery, and I think it may have been a bit underpowered as I got no video. But once I switched to the power adaptor, the video popped right on.

color, 4:3 aspect, mono sound. All good. I'll update with ranges.

I purchased this system for my father, as he was having trouble with a neighbor and didn't feel comfortable leaving his home for long periods of time. The system was very easy to set up and worked pretty well as long as we where there. However, with movement, the signal does bounce all over the place, as it does when going from day to night. Also, the receiver gets very warm, which did surprise me. I don't know that I would trust it without being there for the majority of the time it's running, but it would be great to set up in a backyard to watch over your kids while they play.

To me this isn't really a toy. Placed in front of the entrance door, I use this as a remote camera when I get a signal from my wireless alarm system. (I use SAGETV software and this camera is a separate source). Pros: easy to install, small, not noticable to many, complete of chargers (if it was for batteries, it would have really been a toy); Cons: Suffer intereference, image may disappear for some seconds then come again, but for what I am using it, it is great

"New high power 1.2 GHz technology provides 300 feet range with solid stability"

Deascription states that item is 1.2ghz Item is actually 2.4ghz I bought the 1.2 and 2.4 packages and both were the same item, from the same seller and Fullfilled By Amazon. Same Item, two different Asin's and the other Asin cost less.

There are two models advertised on Amazon. This one is a few bucks more and is supposed to operated on 1.2 GHz BUT it does not!

While the unit does cost a few bucks more it still operates on the old 2.4 GHz frequency that has a great deal of interference. This camera is on the same 2.4 GHz freq as my X10 wireless video cameras and I can't use it.

The receiver actually has a 2.4 GHz decal (NOT a 1.2 GHz)
The frequency is important especially if you have other wireless devices (cameras, Internet Routers, etc that work on the 2.4 GHz band.

Rip off! If you expect to get what's advertised, you won't...

This was sold by Amazingtech Inc Via Amazon.com

Angered...

This camera did not work at all i contacted the seller for support but they keep telling me to do simple things that i already did before they told. And they did not take it back so there was 35 dlls to the trash can.

so stay away from this product and this seller.

This is a surprisingly nice system for it's price. The signal is stable and the video is steady and quite a bit sharper than I expected. The audio is great too. I have this hooked up to a 19 inch LCD TV and a separate video line to a VCR to record the image. Works fantastic! I'm very happy with this setup.

12/30/2011 and STILL working perfectly. :)

i recieved my camera today. i purchsed mine before i read the reviews and i'm glad i did not. my cameera works perfact. i have none of the problem others are. i'm planning to buy one more

Very easy to setup and get working. The range is ok, good reception for about 10m. If the intention is using multiple cameras, mind the small switches on the back for different frequencies, otherwise it won't work.

Great for personal/small business use. Saves a lot of cable work, and for this price, it's *****!!
