Please log in for more thread options Is anybody here familiar with the Swann Night Hawk wireless infrared security camera? It's sold at Radio Shack, on Ebay and elsewhere. Here's a link that providesa lot of info including the technical specifications. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2149814&cp=&sr=1&origkw=night+hawk&kw=night+hawk&parentPage=search I read the owner's manual and also found some reviews. If I buy one, I will install it outside by my front door. The receiver will be hooked up to a B&W Sony SSM930 monitor (if I can use a B&W monitor with this camera and receiver). And there will be less that 10ft separating the camera and receiver. I have 2 questions. Question 1 - This is a color camera. Will it work with a B&W monitor both day and night, ie. with natural daylight and infrared at night? I don't care about the lack of color. I just need to know if I the B&W monitor will handle the signal during the daytime using only daylight? I assume nighttime images utilizing the infrared light would be B&W. Is this correct? The owners manual suggests the system be set up with a "clear line of sight" from the camera to the receiver for optimum results. Well, there is no line of sight through a wooden door. And some of the people who owned these complained about poor reception due to the lack of a "sight line" between camera and receiver. None of them mentioned the distance between the camera and receiver, however. Question 2 - The signal will have to be transmitted 7-10ft and pass through a 2" thick wooden door. Does this mean the camera and receiver will not work for me? Maybe I should just go wired. I'm not sure. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks, Sammy | ||||||||||
