If you use SanDisk SD memory cards beware!!!!.......2004-08-17

I bought the Viking Intelliflash 6-in-1 USB Flash Memory Reader with the hopes of being able to save battery life on a digital camera. However, on trying an SD memory card from a camcorder I have, it ruined the card and said "files corrupted" and I lost all the pics. I read some of the other reviews and realised the problem lied with the SanDisk memory card I used.

I later tried a Kingston Memory Card I had bought for the digital camera and it worked fine.

Don't even think about buying this!.......2004-07-17

This is a piece of junk.

The first time I inserted a smart media card, the card went all the way into the unit. To get it out, I had to call customer support who told me how to disassemble the unit so that I could extract it. Great start!

It does not consistently read CF cards.

Bottom line-stay away.

Corrupted first disk I tried.......2004-07-11

I tried this the first time with a brand new SD bought on vacation - could see pictures fine on camera but when used this Viking memory reader said disk and files corrupted. Was able to retrieve all but first five photos fortunately - unfortunately one of the five photos was a precious one that cannot be retrieved that was the main reason for the trip (daughter and father dancing).

Thank God for Amazon's great return policy.......2004-06-13

I use several different types of cards for my camera and PDA, so I figured this would be a great thing to have. Installation is very easy, especially under Windows XP, where it it true Plug-and-Play. For other systems there is a CD with drivers included.

What is supposed to happen is that when it installs is that it will maps an addition four drives onto your computer; one for each slot. Unfortunatly it does not seem to be able to map the Smart Media drive. Even after installing the drivers off of the disc it was not able to read the SM drive.

I had two of these things; the first I exchanged for a new one after it failed to read anything. On the first one the slots weren't mounted to the face plate correctly, so when I put in the Smart Media card it fell into the back of the device and I had to spent five minuets shaking the thing out.

The second one I got was mounted correctly, but unable to read the SM cards. While it could read the Secure Digital card, it erased everything on it. Fortunatly I only had a couple of files on it, but a lot of people use SD cards for storing programs or pictures, and they would have lost everything if they used this. The Compact Flash card was the only one that worked reliably, but even that one I had problems with since it was difficult to jam the card all of the way into the slot.

I am very dissapointed with this device and with Viking, who usually makes good products. Most people don't use all six types of cards, so a lot of them would go to waste, so I would recomend just getting seperate readers for each card. It'll cost more, but probably worth it in the long run.

On a side note, I would just like to say that Amazon.com has an excellent No-questions-asked return policy. After I asked to replace my first one they paided the return postage and sent me a new one two days later.

***This card reader is not compatible with newer SanDisk SD cards***

I got the following response from Viking Tech Support on May 17, 2004:

"We have had a few customers report seeing problems with some Sandisk cards. It appears to be a compatibility issue with Sandisk's new SD cards and the reader. The new Sandisk cards read/write speeds are faster than their older cards, and this difference may be the cause of the error.

Currently Engineering is looking at the problem. When we find a resolution I will send you an update."

Viking USB Memory Stick Reader: Avoid AT ALL COSTS.......2002-07-31

I concur with the other two reviewers, but I am a bit less restrained. This product is probably the worst piece of electronics I have ever purchased. It is impossible to install on a relatively new Dell desktop running WIN98. Customer service seems to be staffed by automata. My first query, sent to their website, received no answer after a week. My second one provoked questions on their part, and then a series of emails telling me that I had sent my response incorrectly--without suggesting the correct way to do it.

Finally, they got back to me again asking questions on when my BIOS was last replaced. That's not the sort of trivia I carry in my head. And why should they ask it in the first place? I have never had to answer this kind of question for any other supposed plug-and-ply device.

I am returning the device.

One star is far too many.

Does the job......for less........2002-07-29

I picked up a Sony DSC-S85 digital camera and immediately began looking for a memory stick reader. I didn't want to have to hook up my camera every time I wanted to check out my pictures. I saw the Viking USB Memory Stick Reader for about half the price of a Sony branded reader so, I jumped on the deal. I admit to having a slight problem at first with the drivers that came on the original disk but, after going to the Viking site and downloading the latest drivers I haven't had any more lockups or problems. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.

Win XP--buggy.......2002-04-08

Very frustrating experience trying to get this to work--and it should be so simple! I have Win xp home edition and I tried to use the (included) CD ROM's win 2k drivers, which work on a lot of other hardware. However, in this case they did not so I went to the viking support page, which led me straight to the Win XP update. Bad news? The page with the updated drivers cannot be found--it is not available so my pictures remain stuck on my camcorder. Bummer.

Viking RMSREAD/U USB Memory Stick Reader.......2002-01-30

I spent 2 hours with Viking support trying to get this device to work. I have a new lap top with a USB mouse connected no problems (Plug & play had no problems). I was told by support that the CD that came with the reader was defective. The software from the web did not help. I am sending it back today, with a very strong letter to Viking.

I have one work for plug & play devices that don't work - JUNK

The rating should be O Stars

Great Product!.......2003-10-23

If you have a Sony or other product that uses Memory Sticks, then this reader will work great for you! I found mine to transfer data easily and quickly between my media and my desktop. The memory fits in a spring-loaded pocket, better than many other readers (especially ones that read multiple types), and it feels secure when connected. A great product!

Plug and plea...........2001-01-11

I bought this product in order to get still pictures from my Sony digital camcorder onto my iMac because the Sony version was hard to get. I also have a Windows 2000 machine on which it worked okay (requires drivers loaded from CD-Rom). On the iMac though it is definitely not plug and play, it often fails to be recognized and the Mac extensions conflict with other USB devices such as my Iomega Zip drive. When working, it presents itself as a desktop folder on the Mac or a drive on a PC. On the Mac it sometimes does not appear or does not display new files. 2nd level Tech Support said I must trash the folder before removing the stick, and must powerdown the machine before unplugging the USB cable, but instructions don't mention this anywhere. Even then I still get fatal Mac errors if my Zip drive is plugged in on restart. All in all, a frustrating product to use, although I've no idea if the Sony version is any better.

Not what you would expect.......2005-05-22

I thought the reviews for the other buyer were accurate, but after installing the product, I find the picture to be less than useful. Most of the time, the lighting has to be in perfect condition in order for the picture to come out clearly. When I install in on my front porch, I could not make out the picture of any visitors that came to my house with my porch light on. Useful only during the day time with light out.

Good Camera .......2005-02-17

The Camera works for the purpose we have it for! It is at the front door and at the middle of the houses. Thanks, Kevin

X10 is a great company

I love this baby.......2005-01-25

I've been following the X10 product line for a long time. When I first began building my first home, my mind was racing with the possibilities that X10 offered. The biggest thing I wanted was to be able to see who was at my front door on my TV before I got up. I really don't like to sales people. I wanted that feature also for my children to check the door when my wife or I weren't home. The problem is that I didn't want to run video cable from my front door to my living room TV. That's where the XCam2 wireless video camera comes in.

The camera came with pretty simple instructions, the video receiver, and the power supply (when they say wireless it's not completely true, unless you get the battery pack). The camera is only a couple inches tall and wide. The video receiver has an antenna (that you try to point to where your camera is), a power supply, and a RCA video out. There are video receivers that do sound too but those are more expensive.

My practice installation worked without any problems. I just simply hooked up the video receiver to power and than to my TV. I hooked up the camera to power and told it to turn on. Bang, I was seeing myself on my TV. The range on this thing is pretty good, up to 100 feet according to X10. I currently have the X10 attached to the side of my house and have the video receiver in the basement, and the signal is very good. For those interested, I have the receiver hooked up to a modulator (turns RCA video & sound and puts it onto a cable channel) and have it put the video signal onto my cable system before it splits off to all the TVs in the house. So now anytime I turn to channel 60 (configurable) on any TV, I get to see who's at the front door.

The XCam2 camera is a color camera and it does a pretty job of broadcasting the color video that it records. The XCam2 camera is not a Night Vision camera (X10 has these too). Unless I have the lights turned on, I can't see anything on the camera at night (other X10 products helped fix this by turning on my front porch lights when needed). X10 say that this camera is weather resistant. I've had it on the side of home for over six months now (through fall and winter) and it stills works great. Overall, I highly recommend this product to help secure your home and to help give you more options in your home.

False Advertisement.......2005-08-22

I bought this camera after looking at all the ads about it, I was not looking for anything special just a camera if possible color that I could use in different areas around my house for security, to test the product I bought this X2 camera from the X10 website and also bought a flood light with an integrated wireless camera which is supposed to be this same camera embeded inside the floodlight casing with a motion sensor. Well, to make the long story short, the picture is 6 out of 10 which is good enough for me but it is very sensible to any and I mean ANY electrical noise. The distance that it is rated for 100 ft it's a joke, this camera could not do well in more than 20 ft, my flood light camera was installed at 30 ft from the receiver and it is also useless. Don't buy this camera if you plan to have it far from the receiver, I would say it will do a fair job room to room maybe to monitor a baby or so, but I think that for that purpose you will be better off buying a baby monitor, in other words I don't see practical use for it unless like I said the receiver is relatively close to the camera. Also if you are planing to install this in a multicamera system, you are suppose to have the camera antena aligned with the antena from the receiver, I have no idea how the guys at X10 plan to align a single antena to four different locations at the same time, do you?...

I'm not getting 100 feet, not good in low light.......2004-04-02

Pros:

The resolution is perfect for its task. I'm not filming a movie but just need to keep an eye on the kids and this camera is perfect for that. If you are expecting a high quality picture, though, you will be sorely disappointed.

It broadcasts in full color!!

It was really easy to set up. Pretty much plug and play (and screw into the wall). I've got a second one and I haven't set up the remote conrol yet, but I can't imagine that being too difficult.

Bang for the buck, this is a great investment to pick up. You are paying very little for what you get. Also, check out the X10 web site (www.x10.com) as they are always handing out specials all the time.

It is small. It is amazing what you get from this small little device. It fit nicely in the corner of the room we wanted to monitor. I've seen larger cameras that do just as much.

Wireless!!! This makes it so you can set it up nearly anywhere without having to run wires through the walls.

Cons:

I'm not getting the promised 100 feet (it is only 20 feet away and the picture will still go in and out at times).
