Product Description

The GX5204 is a wireless color camera system that can be hidden for undercover indoor use. It comes with everything you need to start monitoring. The camera is tiny, but just as powerful as most full size cameras with an incredible 360 TV lines of resolution! Due to its pinhole lens it can be hidden anywhere. It is also a transmitter, allowing you to wirelessly send video to the included handheld monitor. The monitor has a 2.5" LCD screen for crystal clear viewing of your camera's display, or you can connect it to your TV, VCR, DVR or computer for viewing and recording purposes. This system comes with one camera, but you can add 2 more SVAT compatible cameras, and the auto feature allows you to cycle between the cameras at intervals that you choose. This system is ideal for discreet monitoring in home or business settings due to its small size and wireless capabilities. The camera and monitor are both powered by AC adapters but are also battery operable for ultimate portability (camera uses 9V battery; monitor uses 4 AAA batteries, or rechargable battery pack - GX519B, not included).It includes: 1 color camera, 1 LCD monitor, 2 power adapters, 3.5mm to RCA (male) wire, Portable battery clip, mounting bracket, mounting hardware, instruction manual, on-line/toll free tech support and 1 year warranty. It is compatible with GX515, GX5201, GX5203, WSE201, WSE201C, WSE103, WSE103C.

Customer Reviews

Great Product, bad wireless operating frequency choice4
Like the title pretty much states, the product works exactly as described and even better. The quality is great in good light conditions especially good when it's fluorescent light. This is probably due to the whiter color temperature the light makes.
The picture is huge and clear and looks great on TV. It does not mention anywhere on the sites of this product what FPS it's at but I can safely say it's above 30 FPS, way better than any webcam and much better quality.
The unit feels solid and safe and looks like it's durable enough to be put in tight spots without feeling like it might fall apart like cheap plastic.
The range is great and better than advertised. For giggles I tried putting it completely on the other side of the house, more than 100 feet and through 6 walls, two of which are made of solid concrete and the others of thick drywall or wood.
The only thing I could find bad about this unit in general is just the wireless frequency choice. These days just about anything is using the 2.4Ghz spectrum, wireless routers included. The wireless routers are the bane of this unit's existence! If kept far enough away, they sometimes cancel each other out or will avoid each other. But if anywhere near each other, expect "hoppy" performance and lots of static.

Hopefully this small review will help someone out who was stumped wondering whether or not this camera setup is right for them.

Works Great!4
I've owned this unit for several months. Easily displays a clear picture through a couple of floors. Without obstructions you get a clear picture @ 300' as advertized. You can adjust brightness, contrast, and color on the monitor. Battery life [when using 4 AAA batteries] on the monitor is short, 2 to 2-1/2 hours [it comes w/an AC adapter too]. The camera lasts 7-8 hours on 1, 9v battery [comes w/an AC adapter and 9v adapter]. Aside from battery life [the reason for 4 stars] I have no complaints, and i'm a pretty picky person.

Good camera system4
This is a pretty good camera system. It is not perfect (still has fuzz every now and then, can't get good audio, etc), but overall it does a nice job. We are satisfied.
