Good reception, good picture, ok sound. The camera stays in night mode in my house because of low light, so that means black&white picture, but that is fine, night mode works very good, even in pitch black. The day mode works fine outside, just not inside, my house is just to dark. The sound is not great but, you can hear what is going on. Don't get me wrong it is not bad, just don't expect movie camera quality sound. Over all, I was impressed, outside it worked from about 300 ft away, inside, it works anywhere in my house. But i do have fairly small house. It is a good product. I would recomend it to anyone. The only thing that I did not like is the power cord for the camera is not really out door quality.
