 It works fine! |
| Review Date: July 19, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Oldtechnohobbiest, Tennessee |
Just a few notes from an oldtechnohobbist:
I got mine a few days ago and tested it out on two VCRs (one of them was a vcr and dvd combination). Dispite 'many' failed attempts at getting the camera's receiver to record on a vhs tape--I finally succeeded. It turns out my equipment was bad--the security camera and equipment work fine. My equipment chewed up two of my classic monster movies--well, need I tell you 'that's that for them'! I chugged on down to one of those big boxes 'marts' and got a brand new Magnavox VCR/DVD player. I recommend them ($53.00) because I've had a ton of trouble with DVDs.
As an old techno, I won't take that from a machine. So I got one basically designed to take the dust coveroff so I can hand clean the Laser reader head on the DVD...it's the ONLY fix...with a Q tip and a drop of rubbing alcohol.
Now, to the reason I'm writing this review. PROS and CONS;
PROS;
1. It works fine, night and day.
2. In my ten by ten foot bedroom, in near total dark, it lights up nicely.
3. Easy to put to gether.
4. Easy to install.
5. VCR recording is simple (that's a star right there).
CONS;
1. Uses something like a 'infinity focus' so it can focus on objects a few feet away to longer distance. I feel this is a mistake, after twenty feet, the image becomes fuzzy. Even my computer camera has a 'twist' focus lense I can focus on something close, or refocus on something futher away (sharper image this way). (no loss of a star here).
2. Yes, it is in color--BUT, if you have direct sunlight it will wash out the image...making your lawn appear white. (no loss of a star here either.) You know when the sky is milky colored from smog or high humidity--with the sun behind a house but still facing the camera--and causing the sky around it to glow white--these particals of reflected light will wash out your image and change its' color.
3. When the sun starts going down, twilight, a dozen or so round holes on the camera's front light up red with LEDS. Not something you'll want to wake up to some early morning (a big red eye staring at you unblinking). -- no big thing, the diodes (LEDs) aren't bright.
4. I want all of you (who don't have one of these cameras) to remember--Wirless doesn't mean 'no wires. It means you don't run a wire to the Receiver. You still have to plug the cameras in, they are not battery operated.
5. The instructions are a little short--but direct to the point. They do not tell you how to plug it into a VCR, or that the image can be taped. (It can).
That's basically it, for now. It is worth the price, the unitssmall and kinda 21st century in looks--silver in color. As an oldtechno, I don't think you'll beat the price for quality. I have noticed the 'brick' (that's the part you plug in) does seem to get a little warm. Oh yes, as another reviewer mentioned,...you can't place these things up against a windowpane, it will reflect its' own image back when night time comes and all you will see is that 'red' eye.
Finally, the red cable plugs into the audio on the front of your VCR. The yellow cable plugs into the video (that's the other plug in on the front of your VCR--at least on my model) Your tv must be set to AV for you to get an image from the cameras on it and to record the image. If you don't understand that, it means plug the security receiver into the same place you plug a camcorder.
If anything comes up, I'll post it below here.

This security system is super easy to install, set up, and start using. Since its wireless- You can change the position of the cameras whenever you want without hassle. Very easy- plug the receiver into the av inputs of the tv.
I was so pleased with this item, I bought a second set. |

Considering the fact that this is after all a low cost consumer product, I have to say that in my opinion it is a quality product overall. First off, it is very easy to set up right out of the box. Yes the performance can be affected by many factors such as building structure, distance between cameras and receiver, equipment placement, etc..
The daytime mode is above average considering the low cost optics and the night mode is going to vary due to camera location and usage. Outdoors at night, yes the field of view is very limited but since I am using both of my cameras outdoors I cannot say that the indoor use could be noticeably better distance wise but since one of my cameras is on my back porch, I can say that the IR illumination makes it look like the porch light is on when in fact it is not. I'm impressed by it anyway. If you need more IR illumination then you could purchase additional IR lighting at low cost from online sources.
Hooking the unit to a VCR would give you additional documentation if needed. A standard VCR will give you up to eight hours of recording time or even more with a T-160 tape. The automatic camera switching mode on the receiver is a plus for complete coverage. The switching interval is preset and may seem too fast but it will serve it's purpose.
I cannot see any real cons concerning this setup except for one small issue of the camera mounts which cannot be mounted underneath a surface mostly due to the antenna being in a fixed position. A Little creativity and light fabrication can remedy that though. All things considered, all the user needs is a little patience and the willingness to experiment with placement of the cameras and receiver to get the desired results from this system. Happy monitoring! |
