Delivers what it promises
I have not bought a new package of AA batteries since I got this, and we normally go through them like water. I have successfully extended the life of at least eight sets of batteries.

I checked with my meter--it brings batteries as low as 1.4 VDC back up to 1.51 or 1.52 VDC (new, they tend to be at 1.54 VDC). I have several sets of batteries I've recharged at least three times and they are still working fine.

The key is following the directions: do not wait until the batteries are dead. Emerson states it will not work with completely dead batteries.

A good money saver with convenience
I have been pleased with the performance of this unit from the start. It charges 4 different sizes of alkaline, nicad and nimh batteries. We use batteries like water with 4 children. This unit has already saved us a great deal of money. Used properly, it charges very quickly and so easy to use with clear indicator lights that show the charging process through to completion. It even continued working after it was dropped on a concrete floor. I would definitely buy this product again.

Not user friendly
I am not even sure if this recharger works properly. I have tried to recharge several sets (of different) C cell batteries and I have yet to ever get the green light indicating that the recharge is complete--even after waiting a week with one set. This unit did appear to recharge some C cell Ni-Cad batteries but did not appear to recharge some C cell rechargeable alkalines or standard alkalines--even though it claims to be able to recharge them. I cannot recommend it. ... Read more

PAL TO NTSC (not the oposite)
I agree to the previous comments.

Why NTSC to PAL aprox 50 u$s and PAL to NTSC 150 u$s (or more)?

If anyone knows any PAL to NTSC converter in the price range of NTSC to PAL please e-mail me (pedro.rosenfeld@t-online.de).

More is Better!
This is a great addition to the EVO-6500. Quality of video shot by camera is very good. Very good for the paranoid person, can watch more than one place at a time. :-)

Camera - Awesome

Amazon.com Product Description

Emerson's EVO6500 900 MHz portable video observation system comes with everything you need to keep tabs on your front porch, backyard, garage, or nursery. The unit uses the same 900 MHz technology employed by cordless phones to beam a black-and-white video signal to the included 5-inch monitor. The camera has a directional antenna to keep the signal pointed in a more narrow beam than that emitted by a cordless phone, and it also transmits audio signals from a built-in microphone.

To see images in the dark, the camera has a ring of LEDs positioned around the lens that fills the camera's viewing area with infrared light. The camera can be powered by eight AA batteries for easy installation in remote locations, or by the included AC adapter if a wall outlet is handy. The camera can be set to transmit on one of two channels, which are selectable on the monitor, making it possible to use two cameras at the same time.

The monitor requires either 10 C batteries or AC power, and works like a typical black-and-white television, with a volume knob, a power switch, and controls for brightness and contrast. Audio and video output jacks on the back of the monitor can send data through optional cables to a VCR, for making video recordings. --T. Byrl Baker ... Read more

NICE PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE
I would defer to the review below and agree with the comments (notwithstanding the many spelling and punctuation errors!), with the following exceptions/additions: The polarized tines of BOTH the AC adaptors are reversed, necessitating they be plugged in UPSIDE DOWN in a wall socket. The monitor adaptor is heavy, and having to be upside down in an older wall socket (where the tensile strength of the retaining tines inside the socket may be weaker) could cause it to fall out. A very strange and goofy oversight. I'm also not as impressed with the infrared range as the author below, but found it to be sufficient for my purposes. The camera lens delivers a minor fisheye effect, probably a product of Emerson attempting to deliver as wide of an angle of view as possible without being too distorted. I would agree that for the price, it's a nifty little bargain.

AMAZING!
after buying this as a gift for my parents store i had to write a review, this setup is amazing, for starters it states in the manual that it goes 100-330 feet which is better than i expected as the amazon review only states 100 feet. the clarity of the image you see on the monitor is outstanding, i have seen many many other survielance systems and their picture quality is very poor. but with this emerson whether the person is 1 foot or 20 feet from the camera they are totaly in focus, one thing i was worried about is the fact that they have 15 sets of flourescent lights in their store i thought that might interfere with the signal, Not at all!. the sound clarity is excellent also it picks up voices that are 20-25 feet away clear! for a small 5" monitor you would have to see it to believe it, as its incredably clear.

the infrared is great you can still see in almost complete darkness like it was daytime. i had my doubts about it but was amazed again!.

one problem to note is that i we have 3 900 mhz phones in the store, when you are using one of the phones you will have interference with the AUDIO on the monitor, The video is still crystal clear. this would be great also if you had a motorhome or trailer and wanted to mount the camera in the back window to help you back up etc. as it will work intirely on batteries (Camera 8 AA) (Monitor 10 C) Pros Great picture No wires Portable Audio/Video/Infrared ability to use a second camera. Composit audio/video out so you can record on a vcr or watch on a bigger tv. Contrast/brightness/VHold controls on monitor Volume Control on monitor A/B button on monitor and camera(s) shutoff on camera for either power or infrared, plus a/b switch.

Cons 900 mhz so you will get some interference (small amount) you cant leave batteries in the monitor AND plug it into an AC Socket. (which makes it hard to just move the monitor wherever) allthough it is so light that its easy just to find another ac outlet. 2 camera's max

I am going to buy another set plus 2 additional cameras if they come back in stock, if you know someone that has just had a baby get this for them they Will love you for it.

I hope this helps you to make your decision.
