From the Manufacturer

It can also be used in conjunction with a camcorder or CCD camera and turns into a wireless security monitoring system.

Customer Reviews

Excellent product now!!
I bought one of these units in March 2006 in response to my wife constantly changing room arrangements, and subsequently requiring that the TV work in an area that didn't have easy cable access. I looked at several units from other manufacturers, and actually bought one to try from Best Buy, which was a Leapfrog, I think. Testing that unit convinced me that the concept was sound, and I would have kept that unit except that it operated on 2.4 GHz, which caused interference every time the microwave was in use, or the telephone rang. My computer is hard wired into a network as I don't want to deal with the increased security requirements of wireless, and my phones work fine on 2.4 GHz, so I was looking for a solution, but with 5.8GHz.
I called RF-Link tech support, got all of my questions answered and placed the order through Amazon.
Product worked flawlessly for about six months and then crapped out. By crapping out, I mean that when unit was in an enclosed space where there was exessive heat buildup, the unit would stop working after about 10 minutes.
I contacted RF-Link tech support, and they promptly sent out a replacement unit, explaining that the motherboard had been completely redesigned, and therefore they sent me new units as well as new power supplies. The replacement units have worked flawlessly.
Although I was upset at having to go through the return/RMA process and the delay in using the product until thr replacement was received, everything is fine now. I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want the expense of paying to install cable outlets everywhere.
And for those who are concerned about 5.8 GHz interference, with phones, 6.0GHz phones are already available, so no future compatability issues there either.

Goes kaput quickly after normal use
This device worked great for a short span of time (a few weeks), then just stopped working. I returned it to Amazon and received a new replacement. It worked fine for a while, then stopped working. It's a great idea, but very weak quality.

So Good I bought 2
I bought a transmitter and Receiver about 6 months ago to bring Picture in picture to my main TV from a second satellite box. Worked great !!!! Bought the second receiver to bring TV to my Computer in another room. This also worked great and saved me having to do a lot of wiring and add a third Satellite box.
