Early Adopters Pick: October 2003. Call family and friends and see them on your TV. The Vialta Beamer adds video to your conversations using an ordinary telephone line. Two phones per package.
Vialta's new Beamer TV gives you the ability to instantly add video to phone calls using your existing home phone and television. Beamer TV works with any home phone (corded or cordless) over any standard analog phone line (one-line or two-line) to display full color video of the person you're talking to. All you have to do is pick up the phone, dial a friend or family member (who also has a Beamer TV or Videophone), and press the Start/Views button on the remote control.
Beamer TV is small, so it fits in narrow spaces; it is designed to sit atop your television. It has a built-in 0.25-inch CMOS camera that can capture full-motion video and transmit it to your recipient at 4 to 15 frames per second. Transmission speed is dependant on phone line quality and connection rate, as well as the amount of motion and detail being transferred.
When not in use, the remote control rests in a recessed niche so it's easy to find, and a camera cover protects the lens from dust and scratches. And, the Beamer TV has a skid-proof base to prevent accidental slipping and the need to realign the built-in camera.
Setup is easy--simply plug your phone into Beamer TV, plug Beamer TV into your television's RCA video jack, connect Beamer TV to your wall phone jack, and plug in Beamer TV's power adapter. There is no special wiring or equipment required, and no service agreement, so the only charges that will appear on your phone bill are those for long distance.

Great for when your away from the family.......2007-01-09
The only draw back was that BOTH of the remote control batteries were dead
so we couldn't use all the features.
The beamer is a excellent item to have for familys that are spread out over the country and can't get to see each other as much as they would like. (IE) grandparents
Video Phone.......2005-10-25
Waste of money ... doesn't work........2005-09-27
Second, the two units I bought don't want to exchange their video. I have been reading the manual over, and over again. We tried it many times, but the two units don't want to connect.
This technology is not as simple as Vialta wants you to believe it is.
Also, I noticed that a lot of units are being sold through Ebay - another sign that the Beamer doesn't work for most users.
And, Vialta doesn't have a forum in their website. To me that's an indication they have a lot of problems they don't want you to know about before you buy the Beamers.
My opinion ... a simple waste of money.
Disappointed again in Vialta.......2004-07-16
OUTSTANDING VIDEOPHONE !!!!.......2004-02-14
I live in California, my parents and family live on the east coast. In a good year, we get to see each other maybe 3 times. Since moving to CA, I've married, have a daughter and have a son on the way -- making it even more important (and more difficult at the same time) to get to see my family on the east coast. But with the Beamer TV videophone we see each other at least once a week. The quality of transmission is really good and far above what my expectations were, and the price is unbeatable. Plug it into your phone line, connect the video line to your TV (just like a vcr) and you're all set - no other installation, no other costs/fees. Now my parents can see their grandkids grow, and my kids will get to know their grandparents better and see them all the time - as opposed to just a voice on a phone and cards and gifts in the mail. I'm getting this thing for all of my siblings next. Beamer TV Videophone is a definite must have for anyone with family/friends who live far apart!!! It's just too easy and too great not to have one!
