The setup couldn't have been easier. It is a standalone unit without the need of a computer. However, if you are technically inclined you can set it up with your PC for remote monitoring. The range of wireless is good, it claims 300ft, we tested within a radius of 150 ft and the reception and signal was excellent. It can serve as a good basic/intermediate security systems. <br/><br/>As I reviewed other security cameras in Amazon, the specs looks exactly like a SVT security camera which has has decent reviewes. In addition to security other users have found much better uses of this type of systems, such as bird watching, cat fights in the backyard :) <br/><br/>The other reviewer has raised an important point. His speculation, however, does seem like a speculation. The reception in our camera doesn't degrade or lost signal with time. <br/><br/> We purchased this security camera at a good price (cheaper than the amazon list price).

I tested it out indoors first. Didn't get any interfence at all even as I moved around the house with the camera. Image from the camera was so-so. About what I would expect from a 320 line 1/4 cheapo sensor. The infrared illuminator worked pretty well. <br/><br/>Now to the problem...the camera only lasted about 15 minutes before the image became horribly distorted. It would seem that the cmos sensor was overheating and causing the distortion. I unplugged the camera and let it cool down for a few minutes before plugging it back in. This solved the problem for about another 5 minutes before it was back to its un viewable distortion. I hope that I just got a defective unit because this is a serious design issue. No point in having a security camera that cant operate for more than a few minutes at a time. Sending it back for a refund. Setup on the camera was a breeze. I tested it out indoors first.
