I had security issues with shop and office. This seemed like a nice professional looking device. It took two weeks to get here, when it did it had a tiny operators manual (half written in Japanese?) The receiver unit is covered in tiny switches (too small for my chubby American fingers, need a stylus or something like it). It took me half an hour to figure out how to install it's cell phone type battery (nothing in the little "manual" about battery installation). It has to have a memory card (not included) to save any video. The only thing I've understood from the manual is the batteries in both the camera and receiver are very touchy about charging and discharging (you can easily make either un-chargeable!). The battery in the camera is built in (non user replaceable) The receiver can operate up to four cameras, they don't offer additional cameras, at least not on Amazon. I'll write a second review if I ever get this thing to work. Most likely I'll be sending it back.It seems manufacturers of electronics assume all of us are gadget savy. I have an Amazon Kindle Fire, no manual at all. I've had it since Christmas can't figure it out, waiting for one of my kids or grandkids to either explain it and teach me. I tossed it in a big drawer full of other electronic crap I've accumulated over the last twenty years. I think I've had about enough, if they want us to buy this stuff, why aren't they teaching us how to use them?
