Kyle, I am sorry that you are so negative about my post. Let me answer your questions. 1. I did not post for commercial reasons. I advertise in National Magazines and exhibit at over 55 train and hobby shows each year. My posts were to let the group know that there is help available for any problems or questions they might have with a wireless camera car project. We routinely answer questions from hobbyist that have not purchased our camera systems. I doubt that this thread would make any significant financial impact to our sales of WirelessMicroColorCam Systems. 2. When I was researching this business several years ago we purchased a variety of wireless camera systems from different sources. We tested these systems and found that the "cheap ones" more often than not did not meet the advertised specifications. I am an electronics design engineer with over 30 years experience in analog and digital designs. I verified the claim of "seconds or rejects" with our manufacturer in China. They have to do something with the "not up to spec" units so they sell them on eBay and other places for greatly reduced prices. I am not saying that all wireless camera systems on eBay are defective but your chances of getting below specification units are greater when you purchase from these sources. Some of the eBay sellers are actually employees of the companies that produce these neat little systems. They purchase the units for pennies and sell them to you for dollars and don't offer any support. Try to get a unit replaced with one of these sellers and you will understand why I said that lower cost my not be less expensive. You might be correct in stating that you were just lucky or is it that even with the reduced performance of the units that you purchased they will still work ok for you in your limited range environment? Either way if you are happy with your purchase then you made a good decision to buy the units from your source. 3. We ARE an American Company. The profit of our business stays right here in the good old USA. We are based in Bartonsville Pennsylvania. I was born in Gary Indiana, lived in New Jersey, and now reside in Pennsylvania. We pay federal, state and local taxes just like you so that is why we claim to be an "American Company". It is true that our manufacturer is located in China. This is because if we were to produce this equipment here in the United States it would cost three time more and you as the end user would not want to spend $300.00 for a system. So simple economics apply here. My company and you benefit from the lower labor rate of the Chinese worker. I am not here to solve world problems of worker oppression or sweat shop conditions so don't even go there. I am here to provide a good product for the hobbyist for a reasonable price including ongoing product support after the sale. I forgot to mention that I need to make a living just like everyone so our price does include some profit. We sell our products to educational institutions, law enforcement agencies, hobbyists, and various other security and surveillance application users. I hope that I have not been too rough in this post. I wanted your post to be answered just as I answer all of the question that we receive either by telephone or by email. If you do look at our web site you will notice that our number one goal is "Customer Satisfaction". We strive very hard to make that a reality and are very successful in having "Happy Customers". I do not want to get into an urination match with you, I just wanted to answer your post. Have A Very Nice Day, Jerry PS Please notice that I did not place a link to our web site in this post, “Not a commercial”.
