SVAT GX5200 Wireless Color Indoor LCD Handheld Monitor and Camera

We needed to monitor my grandmother without sitting in her room around the clock, so I bought the SVAT GX5200. The two best things about the camera are the handheld monitor and the sensitive microphone on the camera. The picture quality is acceptable (not perfect, but good enough). The camera and monitor are small and lightweight (feels a little cheap, but works fine). The LCD screen on the monitor (that works on batteries and has a stand, so you can carry it around the house) is clear and big enough to see. The camera doesn't have a lot of features (zoom, etc.) but gets the job done. The monitor plugs into a TV or VCR (using a supplied RCA cable), which makes viewing even easier.

The microphone has adjustable volume and is super sensitive. This works well for my grandmother because it lets us know when she turns over or wakes up. The sound quality isn't exactly CD quality, but it works.

The only negatives are interference and the camera stand/wallmount. Throw the camera stand/wallmount away, it's useless. You can't adjust it easily, it's difficult to mount, and it won't support the camera when used as a stand. But the camera fits on a standard tripod (a much better choice). It does pick up interference from a number of household items, like the microwave, computer, TV, VCR, etc. We can usually find a particular spot that works, but it's like an old radio with an antenna - you have to place it just right to avoid interference.

I'd recommend this camera and buy one again if I needed another. Consider the extra camera if you've got more than one room to monitor. I don't think it works as well with three or four cameras (per the product's own description), but the option is there.

Description of SVAT GX5200 Wireless Color Indoor LCD Handheld Monitor and Camera

Want to be able to see your child from another room while they sleep and play? Want to feel secure from room to room? The solution to these problems and the next wave of child monitoring has arrived. The new GX5200 allows you to see and hear what is happening on the handheld monitor, giving you portable video surveillance. This portable security is possible through the 2.4 GHz system that includes a high-resolution camera with a built-in microphone and a large 2.5-inch colour TFT-LCD screen monitor. Use this system at home, at work, at your business or at your daycare. The GX5200 also provides you with the ability to record a home video from any room to your VCR. What is more important to you than your child's safety? Nothing, and for that reason, the GX5200 can see what is happening in the light but also in near total darkness through SVAT NITEVU technology. The 11 infrared LEDs light up the darkness to see up to five feet away. The portability of the monitor allows you to keep a watch on your child at all times from various locations in your home and the sensitive microphone means you will not miss the quietest coo. The GX5200 camera is wall, ceiling or desk mountable. The system allows you to plug the camera and/or monitor into any AC outlet. If no AC outlet is available, the camera and monitor can run on AA batteries (not included). The GX5200 is a very versatile baby monitor with all of its existing features. Take peace of mind with you wherever you go. The GX5200 can be used in any location and is ready for instant use. This is made possible with the easy mobility of the monitor and camera and the fact that the system does not require wiring. Take it to your business to monitor an area that you cannot be present or monitor your parking lot from any location within your business.
