Product Description

From the Manufacturer

LW2001 OVERVIEW Nothing is more important than your child’s safety. With today’s busy household it can be difficult to watch your loved ones at all times. The LW2001 Handheld Digital Wireless Baby Monitor and Camera from Lorex is the easy, secure, and reliable way to keep a watchful eye on those you love most. The handheld portable video monitor features a sharp 2.4” Color LCD screen for pristine image quality, day or night. The advanced Night Vision mode allows for low-light viewing up to 13 ft. / 4m from the camera. The camera’s VOX feature can activate the monitor at the slightest sound your baby makes overnight. The ultra digital wireless signal ensures the signal is secure and will not interfere with other household appliances. Key Features Plug & Play Setup Secure, wireless transmission Interference-free Portable audio and video monitoring 2.4” Color LCD Screen Automatic Night Vision Easy Setup The LW2001 is the easiest baby monitor you will ever use. Plug in the camera, plug in the portable receiver, and you’re done!. Secure, Wireless Signal Why settle for analog when you can have sharp, clear digital audio and video? Traditional baby monitors use an analog wireless signal that is unsecure and prone to interference. Lorex’s “Frequency-Hopping” digital wireless technology ensures no one is picking up or listening in on the video/audio signals – the signal is sent securely between the camera and receiver.

Unobstructed transmission range of 150 ft. / 50m (indoor) and 350 ft. / 115m (outdoor) Night Vision Monitor your infant around-the-clock with the camera’s advanced high intensity night vision LEDs. The built-in sensor will activate the LEDs when it detects low light levels.  The night vision LEDs allow for a viewing distance of up to 13ft. / 4m in complete darkness. With the touch of a button you can turn the camera’s built-in night light on or off to help calm and reassure your child in a dark room. Hear Every Sound Rest easy tonight with the assurance of VOX (Voice Activated Transmission) Audio Monitoring. With VOX Audio Monitoring turned on, the LCD and audio on the Portable Monitor are shut off, but will turn on automatically when it detects noise. The high-sensitivity microphone can detect the subtlest sounds your child makes. The LED Audio Indicator on the Portable LCD monitor displays sound detected by the camera. If the audio level increases, more LEDs light up accordingly. This is perfect for situations where environmental noise (i.e. running water) makes hearing the audio from the monitor difficult. Full-Color LCD Screen The portable monitor features a 2.4” full-color LCD screen for a sharp, clear picture, day or night. You can adjust screen brightness directly on the monitor with the push of a button. Portable Monitoring Rest the LCD monitor on a table or desk, or take it with you using the built-in belt-clip for hands-free portable monitoring. Turn the belt-clip upside down, and you can even hang it on a wall! Out-of-Range Indicator Only available on a digital system, the Out-of-Range indicator alerts you when the monitor is out of transmission range from the camera. Extra Long Battery Life The Portable LCD monitor features a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery which offers 6-hour battery life for reliability and dependability. The camera can also be powered by batteries (requires 4 AAA batteries, not included) for true wireless operation. Installation Flexibility Use the included power adapter or optional batteries to place the camera anywhere: in the playroom or baby’s room; on a night stand, dresser, or even hidden among plush toys for covert monitoring. You can even place the camera outside when the kids are playing in the yard. The Perfect Baby Monitor Put your trust in the LW2001 Digital Wireless Portable Monitor and Camera from Lorex.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great baby monitor., September 5, 2010

Ignore the previous review, as its comment has no relevance for use as a baby monitor. Yes, the color quality isnt great, but you dont need to see your baby in high def vivid colors, just need to see your baby clearly, day or night, and it does that great. The range is great. The only flaw is the noise sensitivity alarm. The handheld receiver doesnt turn on from sound until your baby is virtually screaming. The sensitivity can be adjusted, but it doesnt help much. It does turn on however, so it is still usefull.

2.0 out of 5 stars Two Significant Flaws as a Baby Monitor, December 8, 2009

Preface: This is my first ever wireless camera, which I am using as a baby monitor, one of the uses advertised on the product packaging.

Color reproduction is extremely poor, even in a well lit room. I do not expect the video to be as vivid or natural as the photos shown on the product packaging, but the color is very washed out, noticeably worse than any webcam that I have ever seen under similar lighting conditions.

Placing the monitor unit anywhere near (i.e., within 3 feet of) my notebook computer completely disrupts the 802.11g wireless network transmission, making wireless networking impossible.

Thus, although this product works adequately as a security camera, it is totally unsuitable for use as a baby monitor.

The video works well in both color and black and white, but the device emits a high-pitched whine that drives my husband and I crazy! Also, when we run the fan in the baby's room, the camera doesn't pick up the baby's noises until he's being loud enough that we could hear him without the monitor! So, overall, I would recommend a different model, like Summer Infant.
