Great system, easy to set up
This system was just what we needed: a way to see when someone drove up to our house and walked up to our front door, and to record that event if we weren't at home. Our driveway is hidden by the garage when we're sitting in the kitchen, and we also wanted our daughter to be able to see when someone came up to the front porch and was at the front door without opening it. This system accomplished all that, AND provides an intercom capability to talk with someone at the front door. It worked great right out of the box -- the cameras were even pre-assembled and worked great. Image quality is fine, although shooting through a screen at night from inside gives mostly a view of the screen! The only challenge in setting this up was getting power to the cameras. Wasn't a problem for the garage, as I could easily run the wire through the fascia and down to an existing power socket in the garage. But for the front porch I set it up on the inside, in the kitchen window for now. I still need to mount it outside and run the power line through an attic vent, in order to keep the power line out of reach and mostly out of sight. I also still have to figure out how to access the system on-line for when we're away.My only complaint (and the reason for 4 starts instead of 5) is that after staring at Lorex's multitudinous web pages on their many confusing models, I tried *numerous* times to call the manufacturer's (Lorex) toll-free line with a question about how the numerous models they offered differed, and how long a 32 GB memory card would record with 2 cameras, and was on hold FOREVER (I mean, over an hour!!). A recorded message recommended that I leave a message to have them call me back, but my schedule made this infeasible, and when I finally did leave a message, no one ever called back. I decided to take the plunge and buy this model anyway, but COME ON, guys!! You're losing potential business by being so stinkin' stingy with your telephone agents! It's BAD BUSINESS to make it so hard for people to contact you, and your web pages do NOT answer all questions! Wake up!

I like this product a lot but do have some wishes for change. I love that the monitors are so adjustable that you can work out practically any viewing option. The color is very good and no matter how far away, (my car), there is no doubt about what you are looking at. I even get some sound through my windows. I was sad that I could not use them outside my windows because I live in an area with extreme temperature changes and it is not recommended above or below certain temps. Chicago goes extreme, both ways. So I can't use the intercom, but if there is conversation close enough to my home and the inside of the room is quiet; you can still pick it up.Down side? Cords from the monitor to electrical plug are way too short. I have the one upstairs on top of my hutch desk and it is strained and sitting right on the edge. But while I work for hours, I can see if someone is at my gate, like the UPS delivery guy; or my car needs my attention in the other direction. Great view from second floor too. Downstairs, I use the cameras for the front and back of the house focused on the gates and yards. That one is not the exact same unit, but is the same company. I think this is an upgraded one. Again, the downstairs one needs a longer cord but works sitting atop a floor standing speaker instead of mounted on the wall as I would like. Also, this one has the capability of using 4 cameras which is great, but since I only use two, it would be nice to open the view to half screens instead of quarter screens.All in all, I would recommend this Wireless Video Monitoring System to anyone who is looking for visual help around or even in their homes. 4 1/2 stars from me.

It's great when it works
When I first received the system, it was awesome. Clear picture and audio, quick plug and play. A couple of cons that I noticed but overlooked at the time being: 1. the monitor must always be plugged in, you cannot charge an internal battery and thus have a portable monitor to carry to different rooms with you (well you can plug into different rooms if you want-so I overlooked this one at first). 2. the degree of viewing seems fairly narrow - having my system outside to view the front of my house, who's at the front door and who may possibly be vandalizing my vehicles, I had to carefully angle the cameras to cover the span of approx. 40 ft wide. In other words if you want wide angle viewing, this is not the right camera for it. But after a couple of weeks, the video relay became very choppy then progressed to freezing. The freezing initially would last under a minute then eventually hours. One morning waking up to sunlight (8 am maybe), I noticed one of my cameras was frozen at 4 am time stamp! I called Lorex company and was told by customer service that this is an issue that can be fixed through technical support and returning the system was not necessary. But after being on hold for 20 minutes then being told through the automated system that the hold time for me was over an hour, I decided returning the system was necessary. I don't have enough patience to hold for over an hour each time my system needs fixing, especially since my system was under 30 days old. Returned. Currently looking for new system.
