When it comes to producing quality college teen cheerleader dressing room toilet hidden camera video essays, you simply can't beat the convenience of a wireless camera. The numbers of times our cameras have been discovered due to a wire running from the toilet bowl to a hole in the ceiling are countless, so you can understand our excitement over this wireless jobbie.
The 2.4GHz radio frequency must be getting as crowded as a whorehouse on payday in Kalgoorlie, as it seems that every RF device on the market is making use of this frequency.
Just like this wireless camera, which has a range of approximately 30 metres through walls, and 100 metres without. In case this device conflicts with any of the other RF devices you have, four different channels around the 2.4GHz spectrum can be selected.
To capture the signal from the camera, a USB receiver is included, allowing you to capture the signal directly to your PC without the need for a VIVO video card. This receiver also includes Audio, S-Video and RCA inputs, so you can hook up other devices to the receiver, though we're not sure why you'd want to.
Setting up this unit is the definition of simplicity: plug in the camera and USB unit, install the drivers, and illegal surveillance city here we come. The included software is well rounded, allowing the device to be activated when motion is detected, and even for the base station to be monitored remotely via TCP/IP or IPX.
Unfortunately for this unit, it uses a rather crappy CMOS camera, and as a result the image quality is quite shocking. It's good enough to just make out who the person is that is being filmed, but it's nowhere near clear enough to capture all the, erm, intimate details. This has to be the biggest flaw of the unit, and costs it dearly in its final score.
However, the benefit of using a CMOS camera is that this device is very cheap -- $400 cheap in fact. At this price it makes for a decent solution for monitoring areas, although we're a little worried that due to the very poor image quality it will be quite difficult to make out who the punk is that just cleared out your house and/or messed with your partner/dog.
