Excellent system, good value, September 7, 2008
I looked at the other two similar systems available and this one is the best in my opinion:
Setup is extremely easy - charge and turn on. Picture quality both day and night vision are excellent.
Camera can be rotated at good variety of angles and can be battery powered (though night vision would drain batteries quickly).
It's digital, so neighbors can't see your cameras and you can't see theirs instead of yours.
What differentiated this from the other ones for me was:
1) availability of additional cameras, up to 4 that can be monitored from same receiver, and
2) this system uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology, so it can co-exist with your 802.11b/g access points. I was able to use my laptop over 802.11g just fine while using the camera receiver right next to it.

works as advertised., June 18, 2008
simple installation. just make sure you play with the window pieces first before actually sticking them on. the window units are actually simplistic - can be turned off or remove, crushed, or thrown away by the intruder. alarm is very loud but can be suffocated with a piece of cloth. so, it works as advertised but may not be effective against sophisticated intruder(s).

Prevent Silver and Costume Jewelry From Tarnishing

There's nothing worse than digging out that perfect accessory only to find that it's tarnished. To keep your costume and silver jewelry sparkling like new, leave a piece of chalk in your jewelry box at all times. The chalk soaks up the sulfur compounds that blacken the pieces, so they'll be ready to wear on any occasion.

Using it in my car for 1+ year...flawless, October 2, 2008
By Sam (Sunnyvale, CA United States)
There's no other DVR of it's type that I could find.
I have it in my glove box wired to a forward seeing sony lipstick cam and
microphone for insurance reasons.
I set this thing to record at full frames full fps and
to always record when powered.
So it only records when I have the key in the ignition and
save about 3 hours worth on a 2GB card. Hasn't failed me yet.

Nice camera for the price, December 23, 2008
By spjinseattle (Seattle, WA)
This is a very nice camera, and the housing is solid and functional in terms of getting the viewing angle you need and
keeping the camera out of the elements.
The 60' cord included is great, and since it's an RCA connection,
if you need more distance ANY RCA audio/video cable will work (eg; I used an old 50' mono/phono RCA cable added to the cable provided and
it works fine). I have two of these cameras hooked up to a Slingbox for remote monitoring of our family vacation cabin.
The picture in any type of daylight, including twilight, is great.
The night vision leaves a little to be desired BUT with any additional light source it works very well.
Past 15 feet in total darkness the infrared is only good for seeing objects which reflect light,
such as license plates.
Another nice thing about the infrared is the suble red light which makes the camera visible in darknes -a good deterent in total darkness.

Great System - True to the description., June 15, 2007
By I. Brown (Oakland, CA.)
I needed an easy to use plug and play security camera system to monitor the outside of my home. I had it up and running minutes after I opened the box. The only thing to damper my excitement was that it did not come with the 9Volt battery needed to utlilize the wireless capability of the camrea. Check the SVAT website for a copy of the user instructions to see how easy it really is to use this system.
The overall image quality is excellent when there is good light, but at night or in low light it is hard to make out details. But for a beginner level system that is super easy to set up and use, this can't be beat.
