3 out of 5 stars It works. But poor range   November 18, 2008
First of all, it works. When the monitor is within a short range, the picture quality is reasonably good, even though the colors are not that accurate. Night mode is okay as well. Audio reception is alright. The camera is so small and light weight that it's better fixed on a wall than being kept on a table or something. The monitor stand is a good thing and the monitor can also be wall-mounted.

The biggest problem is with the range. The picture reception is good for just about 50 ft, no more than that. The product description says 300 ft and ideal is 100 ft. But the results I see are nowhere close to that.

The other problem is with the channel selection. In case you forget to select the correct channel on the monitor, then you keep loosing signal. But I won't call this a real problem since selecting the right channel solves the problem.



1 out of 5 stars Poor reception, static, and crackling   November 16, 2008
I purchased the SVAT GX5201 after reading the favorable reviews. I returned it 2 days after I received it. The reception was horrible - even when I was in the same room as the camera, the reception was poor. The sound, and automatic audible alarm were even worse. To get the audible alarm to work, we had to manually touch the video camera to get the microphone to pick it up. There is a single pencil-tip thin hole on the bottom of the camera ball which is the microphone.

I turned off all of our cell phones, cordless phones, and internet (per the Tech Support's request), and the reception was still poor. Who actually lives in a house without cordless phones or wireless internet, anyway?

Don't be fooled by the favorable reviews - I think in the case of this product, they are "planted" reviews.




3 out of 5 stars Not worth the price   November 2, 2008
SVAT CX5201 Wireless Portable Video Monitor
The monitor works fine with the power adapter but does not work with batteries as it's supposed to do. The camera is OK for low light as it has infrared LEDS but the field of vision is limited, would be fine for baby watching but not enough to see around the crib if someone else is in the room until the person is by the crib.



5 out of 5 stars Color Monitor   October 24, 2008
This product was excellent, just what my Neice needed for her toddler. It was well packaged and arrived as promised.


4 out of 5 stars good   September 20, 2008
This is the second baby monitor that we have owned in a year, and I must say it is the best. The picture gets 5 stars but the sound gets only 3. The one thing I have noticed on the video/sound monitors is they almost always have a popping noise. So we just purchased a cheap 900mhz sound monitor and it is crystal clear. This is definitely worth the money for the night vision alone.
