Uniden UDW10003 Wireless Video Survillance Portable Security System
I actually bought this from another retailer (sorry Amazon, I love you!) and I’m VERY pleased with the performance of this camera. I actually have mounted mine outside the house using the (included) aluminum mounting bracket. Please note that this camera is NOT waterproof therefore I have it mounted under the eaves where it will not get wet. While not specifically marketed as an outdoor camera, I’m happy to report it working extremely well in that capacity. The operating temperature is rated only for 14 – 120 degrees so when the bitter winds of winter begin to blow I will have to take the camera down for a few months
As others have stated, the picture quality is PERFECT (all digital using Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum). The camera will automatically switch to a very powerful infrared illuminator at dusk and it lights up the whole entry way of my house (about a 30 ft wide swath). The only annoyance is that Uniden didn’t think to put a switch to turn the I/R illuminator OFF which would come in really handy if you wanted to mount the camera indoors looking out through a pane of glass. In this case the I/R illuminator reflects off the glass immediately in front of the camera rendering the image useless so either plan to use this camera OUTDOORS or INDOORS but not INDOORS LOOKING OUTDOORS. Inside the home the I/R illumination is ridiculously bright and fills the entire room with invisible light which only the camera can pick up. The camera also has the ability to auto-cycle between up to 4 cameras at pre-set intervals of time (5/10/15/20 seconds) and has the ability to watch all 4 cameras at once in QUAD mode. I haven’t tried the included PC software that records all of this but other users seem to be happy with this function. The range is good, it will penetrate my home about 120′ but struggles a bit when the signal comes from outdoors to my basement. Both the camera and the monitor use Lithium-Ion batteries so the recharge time is quick and they last for hours (there are included power adaptors for both camera and monitor included). Overall Uniden did an EXCELLENT job with this packaged system and I’ve been very happy with it – highly recommended!

Pretty good system except for the included software. It is rather clunky, it does not let you expand the video to fill the entire screen.
Another thing is the alert mode, it sounds a siren when motion is detected and records for a set time. Problem is the siren wails the whole time it is recording, for example set it at 5 seconds and get 5 seconds of siren and 5 seconds of video. Set it for 30 seconds and get 30 seconds of both, I’d like to be able to set for say 5 seconds of siren but a much longer record time.
I’m really hoping Uniden will update the software later.
The really, really, GREAT feature is this unit does not interfere with WiFi, every other 2.4GHz camera I’ve tried kills the WiFi and that is not acceptable. This unit freq hops so interference is avoided, both ways, to or from WiFi.

This the best little wireless set up that I’ve seen. I got mine at Sam’s for $139.00. Why it cost so much on Amazon is a good question. Works great with a DVR (Q-see). I tried some other wireless systems from Swann; there is no comparison.

I got his from Sam’s Club $139.00 and i love it. I have all the way at the from entrance of my 3 family property, and I have the monitor in my unit on the 3rd floor and it works GREAT!!. I am looking forward to add more camaras.

I bought this set today to replace our Graco baby audio/video monitor. It’s wireless and displays zero interference through 3 walls and 100ft. The base is rechargable and portable. You can zoom in and pan on an object. The night vision works great, and we are already looking for a second camera to add to it for our upstairs room (you can add another 3 devices, total).
I will recommend as well as, give these as baby gifts! I am a techie, as well as, work as a technical lead in the IT department. Please use my comments to your advantage and prioritize this to the top! No longer will I trust “baby” products!
