2.0 out of 5 stars Depends on what you need it for, June 21, 2010

This review is from: Lorex LW2100 Ultra Digital Wireless 4 Channel Monitoring Solution with 1 Weatherproof Camera (Black) (Electronics)

I bought two of these. Set up was a breeze. The receiver is very small, fits in anywhere, reception distance is good. However, like some of the other reviewers have pointed out, the image quality is very poor. It has two resolutions 640X 480 and 320X280 (or something like that). The higher resolution is poor enough that you never would like to use the lower resolution. When it comes to face recognition, it fails completely. Even in daylight you cannot recognize your own face if you stand more than 10 feet away, at night it is even worse. The frame rate at higher resolution is only 12FPS, so if a person walks too quickly forget about any face recognition even if the person is close to the camera. The angle of view is only 53 degrees so it won't cover a wide area, and at night the IR lights only cover the center of the lens coverage area, so the angle of view is something like 30 degrees. It does interfere with other 2.4 GHZ devices, my cordless phone has a lot of noise now. So, if you want this camera just to know if somebody is there or not (but don't care who it is), don't care about resolution or frame rate, and don't want the mess of running the wires, then this camera is for you. If you need a higher resolution, faster frame rate, low interference, better face recognition, wider angle look somewhere else. I am sending both of these back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent entry level camera, July 20, 2010

(What's this?)

The installation of this camera could not have been easier. I let my 15 year old son do it and he handled it in about 20 minutes. We hooked it up to a TV and the picture was pretty decent. We then moved it to a PC, we had to buy an adapter card for $12, and it worked fine there too. The infrared video is a little different, but it does give you a picture in almost total darkness. The wireless aspect of the system is very nice. not having to run cables means we can move the cameras at will. I have not had any interference problems with the camera or my other wireless equipment.

(What's this?)

I know very little about such cameras, but ordered it from the Amazon Vine program just to monitor my back yard. I live in a rural area, and I was interested in using the camera to monitor wildlife. I have an acre of land that backs up to mostly undeveloped mountains, so consequently there are many critters that roam through the area, including my yard. Among the nocturnal visitors I frequently get black bears (who like to take out my bird feeders, forcing me to take them in at dusk). I was curious as to just what might be visiting my property at night, so I installed this camera so as to monitor as much of my yard as possible. Installation was very easy, taking about 15 minutes. I have connected the receiver to both a television (an old analog set gathering dust) and, alternatively, to a VCR. There is an adaptor that allows one to plug the unit into a standard RCA plug, as well as an extension cord (which I did not need).

The good: easy to install, pretty good color rendition during daylight hours, and it has a fairly sensitive receiver. And, for my purpose (which does not include the need for face recognition, of course) this device is sufficiently clear to allow me to identify various animals wondering in the yard. However, as noted by others, it's not all good; there seems to be interference that causes the top half of the image to exhibit squiggly lines (when connected to the tv; this does not occur when connected to the VCR). I intend to move the tv and receiver around some and see if that ends the problem, but am not optimistic. If it helps, I'll amend this review.

My assessment would be that should you need such a camera for important surveillance or security applications, keep looking. However, if you want one for a reason such as mine (to check out wildlife or perhaps to monitor your driveway or such), then this item would be sufficient.
