Conclusion: not satisfied


Review: Having ordered the First Alert FAW-725 wireless camera and receiver to expand the system I already purchased some time ago; I was quite dismayed to find that your company substituted my order and I was sent a Security First wireless camera system which although it works fine, It,s not compatible with the system I had already. Now I need to purchase additional components for this system- costing me even more money. Thanks, Tim Murphy.

Conclusion: A Decent Surveillance System at a Decent Price.


Review: After reading the two reviews I hesitated buying this kit. However I found nothing else better in this price range and bought a kit with two cameras. Actually I was surprised ... pleasantly. It does what I expected it to do. These cameras are not $1,000 digital SLR's cameras with high resolution lenses. These cameras are small lens (6mm) fixed focus cameras. I have a $500 digital camera that produces low quality images under low light conditions. I expected no less from a $100 camera. I observe low quality under low light conditions, and much, much better quality under better lighting ... photography is after all an adventure in light ... so no surprise (other than pleasantly at what decent images these cameras do put out at higher lighting levels.

The illumination from the LED's was not a surprise either ... the literature says ten feet ... and ten feet is slightly conservative, as I could see form and shape at out to 20 feet. I must say not a great image under those conditions, but it was there.

This is not a "stealth" type system. The camera is very obvious with a bright red "ON" light and the circle of low light LED's surrounding the lens. However this is not a problem, it might even be a deterrent ... even if an intruder destroys the camera, there is no cable leading them back to the recorder ... they already on film.

The kit came with easy mount bracket plus AC adapters for cameras and receiver. Though I use the battery feature for the remote cameras, the receiver adapter is a plus.

Overall, I consider this a very good surveillance kit for the money. If you are looking for the highest resolution, equivilent to a $500 digicam, it is not here. However short range conditions under good lighting, this does the job for me.

Conclusion: First alert customer dissatisfaction


Review: I purchased the first alert 2.4 ghz black & white wireless camera survellence system, bought an extra camera. Please save your money, they say it has nightvision, all I see is the night! It's so picky with the antennas that it reminded me of rabbit ears on a t.v. and there are lines that go throughout the screen, it's not clear. It does ok, in daylight but forget nite time. It isn't weather resistent either, I bought mine through HSN and they wouldnt take it back because it was past 60days, I bought it in winter and didn't try it out right away.

Conclusion: infare red camera


Review: The system was easy to install. i purchased 2 additional cameras. The so called "infare red" for low light viewing was terrible even in a room with natural daylight you still need light on to view. i am returning all 3 cameras and receiver. I expected better from First Alert. JW
