Like all Sharx TM wireless security camera kits the Sharx DoubleCam TM is very easy to use. You simply connect the included receiver to a TV (or a computer with standard NTSC video input). Then you take the cameras where you want to use them, up to 200 ft away from the receiver, and plug them into power with the included AC adapters. You can immediately see video from your cameras on your TV, and you can add more Sharx indoor/outdoor wireless cameras or baby monitors if you like, up to 4 cameras total.
The latest generation receiver design is stylish, compact, and has both a digital channel readout and a credit card size remote control so that you can conveniently view both cameras.
In households near 2.4 GHz Wifi b or g networks you can use both cameras without interference as long as you follow the recommended channel selection guidelines.
In areas with no Wifi b or g networks nearby you can expand this system with an additional DoubleCam kit or other Sharx wireless cameras or baby monitors, up to a total of 4 cameras.

Great product/Great seller
»
I am using this product as a baby monitor and so far so good. The image is clear either in light or darkness. I can see my son in his crib and see him move even his fingers. I brought this product through Amazon from a third party seller (www.securcam.com), they are a very customer oriented company and have excellent customer service and very quick response if you have a question or trouble with the product.

Great night vision security camera
»
I took me less than 5 minutes to connect this camera system to my digital picture frame. One camera to watch my baby at night and one to watch my front door. Video is very good and clear with these CMOS sensor and amazing in night vision mode. Even though the room has no light, I can see my baby clearly in B/W mode. Audio is also very good.
Size of these two camera are compact and nice in design. There are many ways to install it.
With $108, this security camera system is a very good deal.

Nice new generation technology camera combo!
»
I've purchased several consumer-grade surveillance cameras (wired and wireless) over the years - and they typically promise a lot and deliver a lot less. However, I'm very impressed with this product from Sharx - quality, performance and very reasonable cost.
This picture quality from the camera (both color and B&W) is from the newer generation CMOS sensors....not quite as good as CCD but costing less and much much better than CMOS sensors from even a couple of years ago.
I decided on the double-camera unit because it's more economical than adding a second camera later, and having matched cameras gives more consistent image quality. The camera seems quite rugged for a consumer product and the weather resistance (at least for a couple of months) is holding up fine. The camera comes with a sunshade - which is an absolute gotta have if your camera ever points in the direction of the sun. And, there's an extra hole in the sunshade so the camera can be mounted from the top or bottom (without having the image be flipped over). The camera is made in China (they all are these days), but it's a higher quality of build than other more expensive camera combos I've evaluated.
For newbies at this, the advantage of using wireless is that installation is *much* easier for existing structures than a wired camera. However, since this camera uses some of the same frequency bands as WiFi networks, you'll either have to live with some interference on the image, or configure it so that the WiFi networks channel and camera channels don't overlap. If you're in a denser urban WiFi network environment, I'd recommend limiting yourself to two cameras. If you're in rural setting with no WiFi...then you can expand to four camera.
The other nice feature is the "channel skip" on the receiver, so if you're only using two cameras, the receiver doesn't have to (like most of the competition) scan and display all four channels (two of which are empty).
If you're into technical specs (like I am), the company's website includes more technical details on the camera.
Bottom line - very nice product (from one who knows) and great price.

Great camera at an affordable price.
»
This is an excellent set, I had it up and running in ten minutes. Its simple to use for a price that didn't empty my wallet. The nightvision, and microphone are great additions too that you don't normally see for other cameras for the same price. Finally I can watch the front door and the back of the house from my lazy boy!
