Product Description |
| Designed to turn your Panasonic 5.8 GHz cordless phone system into a video monitoring system, the KX-TGA573S digital cordless camera requires either the KX-TG5771S or the KX-TG5761S base models to function. Like the systems' handsets, the camera operates with 5.8 GHz Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum technology, meaning that it operates on a different wavelength with much less traffic than the 2.4 GHz technology, while maintaining great security, incredible clarity and long range. Turn Your Phone into A Security System
The KX-TGA573S is a wall or desk mountable digital camera which functions as a room monitor. Used in conjunction with a system-compatible cordless handset such as the KX-TGA571S, the camera allows you to remotely view your baby's room or an office entrance while you're in another part of the building. With the handset's speakerphone acting as a sound monitor, you'll be in constant contact. The camera includes a call button and requires a single battery (replacement model HHR-P104) to operate. What's in the Box:
Camera, stand, battery, user's guide, warranty card |

 Outstanding technology! |

The camera is PERFECT as a baby monitor!!!
It's sensitivity is adjustable, you can zoom in, adjust the brightness... I have my camera hooked up to the intercom function on our phone set. When my baby cries, every phone in the house rings to let us know he needs attention! Intercom call from camera! Very slick!
On the other hand, if he's just moving around and such, I can look at the display on the phone and see him go back to sleep.
I purchased a Panasonic cordless phone system [Panasonic 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Expandable Digital Cordless Handset with 1.6" Full-Color (65k Color) Backlit LCD]. It came with a base w/answering machine and 3 handsets. When I purchased it, I made the argument to my wife that when we had a child, I could buy and add the camera to the system. That was the argument that let me get the phone I wanted but it really worked out well! |
Excellent as baby monitor

| I've had this product for over a year now, and it has worked excellent for us. It has a adequately sensitive noise detector, it never misses a baby cry and rarely over activates. It's handy to be able to use our phone set to monitor baby at the same time! |

| This cool camera when used with the KX-TG5776S works great, you can place the camera anywhere in your home and adjust the sensitivity (sound, contrast)on your handset to your liking to alert to sound, once sound is detected your handset will ring to alert you and you can see the image on your screen , when no sound the phone will default to off to conserve battery till its activated by the camera. A green blinking LED indicates that its connected to your handset and it comes with a push type button remote to manually alert the phone, the image is not a stream but it sends an image every 3 seconds or so to the phone. Only one handset can access the camera, but if you have more than one, all can be programed to receive the alert and be used to see and hear the image, great for two or three story homes with much distance between rooms. Also you can speak to whom ever my be located where the camera is like a 2-way radio, they hear you and you hear them, but you can also mute the phone so that only the sound where the camera is located transmits, as to not wake a sleeping baby. |
Decent. More convenient (but limited in features) than a wireless network camera

As the other reviewer mentioned, the picture quality is very poor, and the camera is useless in low light settings. So, as a baby monitor, it's not the greatest of products out there.
But, you can change the screen refresh rate, as well as sensitivity of the "ringer," which does improve it somewhat -- the increased refresh rate, however, does reduce the already low quality image. I actually use this to monitor my pets -- for that purpose, it works out fine.
Compared to a wireless camera to attach to your home wireless network, there are some drawbacks to a cordless-phone network camera:
-Lack of low-light settings. Some wireless cameras even feature infrared these days.
-No ability to move the camera remotely (although it does zoom).
-No way to monitor from remote locations outside of the phone's cordless range, as opposed to network attached cameras that can be accessed through the Web.
That said, the convenience is that you don't need a computer/laptop to see the video. That, for me, is a big plus -- just a couple of buttons away from anywhere within the cordless phone range. I can be outside the house, and so long as I have the phone with me, I can see the video image any time. No need for extra gear: just the phone, which I use anyway.
It also does work as an intercom, which is good for fun, but I haven't sorted out what usefulness it really has.
Overall, kind of a gimmick, but satisfied with the purchase. The phone system itself is a fantastic system. |
