Good product. One star for misinformation

Great product. One star for misinformation. The indicator clearly states that you can connect the power supply to EITHER the transmitter or receiver. It is not true! I contacted the company over a month ago and they checked and confirmed this and said they would fix their listings but as of this writing they have not. They offered no peace offering as we had HUGE inconvenience powering the ceiling instead of our tech stand like I wanted. It is clearly stated that you will get better performance with Cat5e than Cat6 but the OPPOSITE is true and so it says in their manual but they also didn't see fit to update their listings for it. After reading the instructions I realized that a pair of cables is REQUIRED instead of one. Again, this would have been useful to note in the listing, but at least it was simply missing information and not incorrect information. How do they make products? BIG! How do they tell you about their product? GARBAGE!

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
