Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3DBD259RRCR6M I was both and surprised and thrilled with the functionality and performance of the Lorex LW2002W. I really do mean thrilled with the performance. The video will give you more details on the functionality - but below is a summary of my likes and dislikes.
Pros
- Highly sensitive microphone
- Low light capability
- Very easy set-up
- Will interface with your television - will allow for a split screen using your picture-in-picture.
- Works with a recording device - a DVR, VCR, or other devices.
- Alarm for any changes in status - if it detects movement or sound
- Decent range (Not great but not bad)
- Monitor will support up to 4 cameras
Cons-
- Need to watch for audio feedback if the monitor gets to close to the camera (It could wake a baby) ... note that this is standard for any audio equipment if the receiver gets to close to the source.
- A bigger screen would be nice - if I was trying to find something to complain about
Final Verdict-
Great product at a reasonable price - the Lorex LW2002W is a easy product to review and enjoy!

I looked at the other two similar systems available and this one is the best in my opinion:
Setup is extremely easy - charge and turn on. Picture quality both day and night vision are excellent.
Camera can be rotated at good variety of angles and can be battery powered (though night vision would drain batteries quickly).
It's digital, so neighbors can't see your cameras and you can't see theirs instead of yours.
What differentiated this from the other ones for me was:
1) availability of additional cameras, up to 4 that can be monitored from same receiver, and
2) this system uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology, so it can co-exist with your 802.11b/g access points. I was able to use my laptop over 802.11g just fine while using the camera receiver right next to it.
best baby monitor available, and great price February 11, 2009

I purchased a Swann monitor in November, but returned it because of limited range. Since then I have been looking for a good digital video monitor with adjustable trigger volume and good range. I read all of the reviews for other monitors, and none fit the bill. Finally I found the Lorex monitor, and I am extremely happy with it. I was able to walk to the house next door and still have crystal clear reception. It has a continuously adjustable trigger volume setting, which works very well. I also like the cradle and rechargeable battery, as I can use it at night and it is fully charged each morning.
The only complaint I have about the unit is what one other person mentioned - the volume only stays on for five seconds when it is triggered, and then it goes off. I would prefer to have the length it stays on be adjustable (or an always on setting), so I could leave it on all the time. It does wake me up when it turns on and off, even if she just makes a little peep. I think if it were continuously on it wouldn't wake me up every time she makes a sound.
Overall, I am really happy with it, and the price is great!

This is a great baby monitor. I have had the Summer Infant for about 4 months or more now...So thats what I shall draw comparisons with.
To begin with I wish I had gotten this one. Only because of the cost factor I went for the summer infant.
This monitor is very portable easy and has a nice dock. Lighter than the summer infant.
Picture Quality is Superb.SAme as the summer infant.
Even in the night the IR does the trick.Same as the summer infant.
Seems to cover a lot more area though than the summer infant which makes it usable as a security system too.
Good battery life..maybe better as there is not static.My summer infant has a lot of static so I use it only as a video monitor and use the graco as a audio monitor which has no static.
Which makes it more expensive and silly to carry 2 equipments at all times.
Verdict..If this one was more popular at the time I got a baby monitor this would have been the right choice.
Anyways., Now i intend to gift away my summer infant monitor or sell it and will stick to the Lorex.
You have found the best value for a wireless system! December 30, 2008

First of all, I have no idea why this unit isn't as popular as the name brand baby monitors or why it isn't marketed heavily at chain stores but believe me it is awesome! Anyone who purchases this will be pleased. After searching everywhere for a baby monitor I stumbled on this one and was worried because I couldn't see it in the store to play with it first. It also didn't have many reviews here which worried me a little. Other baby monitors had subpar reviews and people talked a lot about the issues with noise from cordless phones, wireless networks, range issues, image quality. Well I took a chance, ordered the system, received it fast, and use it every day.
The camera is nice and easy to align. You can use either battery or ac power. The image quality at night is very bright and during the day is acceptable too. Focusing has never been an issue. You can see in completely dark conditions. The night light is nice and remotely enabled/disabled from the handheld. The handheld is very easy to use and handy to carry around the house. It is so simple to use and not overly complex. The screen clarity and size is fine and the menu is basic. The button placement is convenient on the sides but when holding it we tend to press them when we didn't want to. The signal range is very good and goes from back bedroom to mailbox. In Florida, with cement block anyone knows this is a challenge with any wireless device. It works in perfect harmony with my wireless 2.4g router and 2.4g cordless phone.
My only cons would be button placement on handheld, pricey for add-on cameras (for like 50 more bucks you can get another handheld), battery life is shorter than I would like. (less than 6 hours with screen saver set at 1 minute)
The price is right too. Compare this to any monitor out there and you will be extremely pleased. Price vs. value this unit wins! You won't be disappointed.
