What's great about it: Easy to Install & Remote Access
What's not so great: Occasional 'Clicks' When Not in Use
Needed a camera so I could watch over the entrance to the kids' rooms and our main living area while I (try my best to) get some work done on the computer in my upstairs office. This camera has remote access, pan, tilt & zoom features, and installs quickly. My only real complaint deals w/ the clicking of the camera when switching to and from night vision and also for some reason in daylight mode even though no one is actively connected to the camera. All things considered, I think I made a good choice with this IP camera.
This product has... Adequate viewing area, Many good, useful features

What's great about it: Convenience & Set-Up
What's not so great: Sound Quality & Range
With the number of bluetooth enabled devices on the rise in our house it made sense for us to retrofit some of our older equipment in a manner that would make it possible for us to stream audio from the new devices through older stereos --wirelessly.
These devices seemed like ideal solutions so we purchased two of them. Both set up with ease and worked as planned, but we do notice slight crackling in the sound quality. Also, the range on these things does NOT hit 30 feet as indicated by the accompanying literature text on any site we saw these on. We have successfully accomplished 15 feet before things started to fall apart and DEFINITELY do not let something get between this unit and the signal source or the playback will get interrupted.
We do not suggest purchasing this unit if you need to go more than 10 or 12 feet away from where you place this unit.
But, in hindsight, for only $21 apiece the two units we purchased will do what we need -- for now.
This product has... Easy to set up, not as great a range as advertised, slight crackling in sound quality

Great compilation of Rob Zombie's more popular songs. Definitely recommend this album/disc to anyone that likes Rob's more popular work and does not want to invest in a bunch of albums just to get hold of his hits!

What's great about it: Good Value & Easy to Set Up
What's not so great: Some May Consider Receiver Bulky
OK, so the design of the main room in the house we bought would have made it darn near impossible -- or at the very least really inconvenient -- to run wires for surround sound... and this solution seemed like an inexpensive option. Thus far it has worked flawlessly and we even picked up a second unit for use at my mother's house.
This sound quality of this unit probably not as great as running wires directly, or opting for a unit that costs a whole lot more, but hey... it has worked well thus far and hopefully will continue to do so.

What's great about it: Compact Design w/ Good Sound Output
What's not so great: Nothing I Have Noticed So Far
I originally purchased these speakers for surround sound and have used them for that purpose since day one. They seem to have decent sound quality and feel pretty 'solid' when it comes to their construction. I've owned various BIC America speakers in the past and have always liked them. I'll probably pick up another (or similar) pair for my office in the future.

right speaker crackles and static

I have the rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit hooked up to 2 bose bookshelf speakers. The left side works fine, but the right side crackles, has interference, and will even make a strange tone that starts low and progressively gets higher. I have switched speaker wiring and tested the speakers. The speakers work fine.
Sounds like a potential ground problem... or a problem with the right channel amp. You can rule out the speakers as a potential issue by switching them to opposite channels and seeing if the noise continues on the same size.

can you hook this product up to self powered speakers?

bought this at best buy and the the salesman told me i could hook this up to a set of self powered speakers if i spliced in some rca cables to the input and output . then i read that this device puts out 25 watts per channel and realized that output might harm my powered speakers.
No, not to my knowledge. The size of receiver unit has a lot to do with the fact it contains an internal amplifier. You cannot bypass the amp and use the unit as pass-through.

Do you have a Wireless kit to power a sub-woofer

I understand that the Universal Wireless kit powers two rear speakers. Is there a secondary kit that will allow you to also power a sub woofer remotely?
Yes. Rocketfish manufactures separate wireless subwoofer kits, as well.
