SVAT GX515 Additional Reviews

Wireless Interference
by Charles Snodgrass from Columbus, Oh USA, 2010-03-09

Purchased for an additional camera for my system. Camera works fine and I am keeping it. However, I discovered that the camera on some frequencies will override my home computer wireless network. It blocked all signals from wireless equipment. Unplugging camera and switching its frequency will solve the problem.

See and Hear the Rascals..

Wonderful color during the afternoon naps or early evening sleep time. Extra camera to watch backyard play...when mom or dad are not standing there. Watch the to be three year old learn to crawl out of bed or the crib. I did not expect true night vision but sound is excellent. I purchased with the static suppressor recommended and I have no problems with Wi-Fi or microwave.

Horrible Camera

Do not waste your money. This item fell out of my hand, and was instantly broken. Cheap material, and absolutely not worth it!! I would have prefrered to rate it with NO stars, but it would not allow.

A great camera system if you have no other wireless devices

This camera was an additional camera to the SVAT wireless monitoring system:

Once turned on we had great picture from the camera, but all our 2.4Ghz devices simply stopped working.

We tried every possible setup - moving routers, phone bases, cameras - nothing helped. It felt like this camera was built as a 2.4Ghz frequency scrambler. We ended up returning this item in exchange for an older, 900Mhz type system that works great - even though a bit static-y at times.

Decent system
by Ted from Los Angeles, CA, 2008-02-07

We have one camera in our 2-year old's room and one in our infant's crib. Good color picture when there is enough light. Nice to see if either kid has his eyes open or closed from outside of the room. Good sound transmission. Poor night vision picture - in low light you can't see much even if the camera is very close to your subject - it is essentially a glorified audio baby monitor. As such, we don't use the night vision option.

Nice to be able to switch from room to room on the receiver. We usually use it on manual and keep it on the room of interest at the time.

No interference with our wireless internet set-up. Receiver buzzes when our microwave is on. Had rather loud feedback when our 5.8 GHz phone system was on, but I changed to a DECT 6.0 system and all is well.

I'd suggest purchasing the system from somewhere that allows for a return if it doesn't satisfy you. I'm happy with ours and I even purchased a second camera once I tried out the first one. But I did have to change a few things to make it work for us.
