I like the night feature and the motion detector that switches to the camera when activated.I have had X10 system for about ten years and I thought they were good but I like these cameras better because of the night vision. One of my cameras seem to have frequency problems in cold weatherI wish they had more of a range than they do. The cameras and receiver are compatable with the X10 system so I can swithes any camera as well as the receiver.The receiver will switch between three cameras automatic. A very good feature. My main camera is about 60 feet from the receiver and through alum. siding but the X10 camera had no problem.
The features and expandibility are great. In the manual, the pictures do not even show it. the unit is also suceptable to interference espically anything 2.4ghz. I still don't know and no longer own this due to the second problem.Camera and receiver location is very important to receiving a signal. Just when the recording tells you that you are the next caller, bam, you're rerouted to voicemail to leave a message. Good,clear video and sensitive audio.
On the downside, don't try to reach customer service on the phone. You are put in a call order wait line, thats ok and to be expected at busy times. This is a great little camera and receiver. I ended up giving this unit to a friend of mine and it works great at his location with minimal interference. I wanted to know why the receiver that I have, has an additional connector that is not listed or described anywhere. I wanted to know what it is for. I need to stick with hard wired at my location.
Every time I was "next" suddenly my 10 minutes was up. It is very easy to set up and use. My portable phone just had to be in the same room. The call system kicks you to voicemail after 10 minutes(to be fair, it tells you that in the beginning).I was never able to get through. I never got through and gave up. Use the phone and get a blank screen. We still however don't know what the extra plug is for.
I will keep this brief. Yes, that's correct; no more than a few feet (less than 10 ft). The item has very good "night vision" attributes. Beyond that I would not recommend it if you plan on placing the camera more than a few feet from the receiver. I've tried it in more than one location and had the same results. Unless the camera and receiver have direct line of site and are no more than several feet apart, the picture suffers from a great deal of static and flicker.
I had to return this item because of the difficulty of use. We even had someone come to the house to install and he told us it wasn't even worth the money to pay for installation. Plus returning the camera was a nightmare, my printer is broken so I could not print a return label and had to call amazon numerous times to get a label mailed to me, which never happened, they ended up sending UPS to come to the house for pickkukp.
My mother is disable and cannot come to open the door for visitors, she can unlock the door remotely. She needed to be able to see who was at the door so I installed the SVAT WSE201.She now can see with clarity who is at the door before she unlocks it. The SVAT WSE201 gives a Very good picture day and night and allows my mother to hear the visitor clearly. We are very satisfied with the preformance of the SVAT WSE201
