 Wow - Great Baby MonitorJun 28, 2009
By Charles Evans
"Call me Kevin"
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!
5 stars

 So, so as a baby monitorAug 07, 2009
By ChillyLos
After doing quite a bite of research for a baby video monitor I narrowed it down to the Lorex LW2002W Digital and the Summer Infant Best View Digital. I wanted digital because I have had problems with interference with my old monitor.
Both have many similar features but I initially purchased the Lorex with 2 cameras over the Summer Infant because of the automatic cycling between cameras feature and AV port feature. With a lot of monitors if you have more than one camera hooked up you have to manually switch from one camera to the other. I have 2 small kids and I need to monitor them both. With the Lorex you can set it to automatically switch b/w cameras about every 5-8 sec. Also the Lorex has an AV port connection that allows you to connect the monitor to your TV.
The Lorex is a quality video monitor for the the price. However, after using the Lorex I sent it back because of one feature my wife and I did not like. It automatically mutes the sound if the noise in the room is below a certain level. When the sound in the room gets above that level the audio comes back on. Lorex customer service told me that the feature prevents listener from hearing a soft hissing sound (white noise) in the receiver when the monitor room is quiet. You can't disable this feature.
Don't get me wrong, it does pick up most sounds such as normal conversation, walking on hardwood, crying, something dropping on the floor, etc. But it does not pick up very soft sounds like a baby breathing, whispering or walking on carpet. This may sound trivial but at night while I'm sleeping great audio is important. It's usually the audio that alerts me that something is going on in the room. Then I look at the video to determine if it's trouble or not.
After returning the Lorex I purchased 2 Summer Infant Best Views to monitor both my kids at the sametime. I was unable to find a monitor in the <$200 range that met all my need, so this was my compromise. Fortunately I was able to get both of them at the same price (on Amazon) that I purchased the one Lorex with 2 cameras. The Summer Infant does not have the auto camera cycling and the AV connection but it does have a very nice pan & tilt feature that allows you to scan almost the entire room and the audio is very good. You can hear a baby breathing.
The Lorex is better suited for people who are looking for a reasonably priced (not cheap) low interference video monitor to monitor older toddlers, their property or for parents who don't feel they need a continuous sound feature. One of the previous reviewers stated she uses her Lorex with her old audio monitor and it works well.

Excellent system, good valueSep 07, 2008
By AlexL
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.

 Pros and Cons of Lorex Baby MonitorJan 03, 2010
By Sanjay Gulati
We found it challenging to compare monitors on-line. We settled on the Lorex, and are quite happy, but wanted to report pros and cons for the sake of others struggling to choose:
Pros:
--clear picture
--instant pairing of camera to receiver
--good packaging and instructions
--solid feel
--cameras and receiver use the same, small 9V AC adapter; receiver can be charged on or off its home base.
--doesn't look like scary spy equipment
--cute feature of being able to turn on the nightlight on the camera from the receiver. If someone waves for help, you can signal that you're on your way.
--bright red LED's to indicate sound being received--grabs your attention nicely if you're sitting quietly reading while baby's in another room asleep.
--cameras run well on 4 rechargeable AA batteries
--night and low-light performance are amazing, and the infrared lights are completely unobtrusive
Cons:
--turns on at full volume, so that if monitor and receiver are in the same room, feedback can result. This is not fun at night when trying to use the monitor to help baby and partner sleep.
--related to this, there is no mute--you can turn the sound sensitivity and alarm volumes down, but can never be sure they are OFF.
--buttons on edges of device are too easily pressed by accident.
--camera units are very slighly top-heavy.
--slick, rounded profile of receiver is slippery; doesn't stand up well; slides around on bed or couch.
Hope this helps,
Sanjay

 Great Product with one AMAZINGLY STUPID FLAWApr 10, 2010
By Daniel Keith
This video monitor is - by far - the best on the market with the exception of one issue. Seriously, my wife and I have have hunted, researched, and tested more than we care to admit and this is the best in almost every way. It has the best picture, the best system of connecting everything, the longest A/V cord, a recharging stand, and brilliant syncing when the portable receiver is placed in the stand (without having to connect/reconnect any cords: genius!).
So, why would I give it ONE star? Because ALL of these qualities are completely trumped by one "feature" that obliterates the value of the product. Specifically, it has an "audio auto-off" function that only plays sound over a specific volume. But, that's no problem, we'll just turn that feature off...Oh, wait! what?!? you can't turn that feature off??? That's just stupid. We are not the type of parents that rush into our baby's room over every sound he makes (in fact, we are probably too willing to let his crying escalate before intervening). However, I do not want some gadget dictating when I can and cannot hear my son.
As well thought out as this video monitor is, this one feature - I suspect - is the product of OVER-thinking. It's a hideous and horrible mistake. This monitor would have earned five stars, but for this one, tragic flaw. Oh, and in case you think I'm dramatizing this review...I AM!!!...but, I thought everyone else was too. I thought that we could live with this "feature." We cannot.
