Customer Review: You have found the best value for a wireless system!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Great Baby Monitor

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
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.
Customer Review: Excellent for the price

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
We have owned 2 other wireless cameras both which broke. This camera is well made, has range that extends well beyond the house. We took the monitor deep into our 250 foot yard and could see clear images at least 150 feet from the house. The night mode works well and the audio has a very clever mechanism that keeps it mute unless a sound is made. This makes constant static, that many similar monitors suffer from, something that does not need to be dealt with all night. Most people use these to monitor a child. We do the same. We use this on our son and it is easily moved from room to room. The recharging cradle helps keep the monitor fresh and usable all evening.
The only thing that could make this better is another charging unit for the camera and rechargeable batteries for that. Still most people will not move the camera frequently enough for that to be a necessity. Just food for thought.
Customer Review: best baby monitor available, and great price
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Customer Review: Great for baby
Summary: 5 Stars
As soon as my baby was born I didn't want him leaving my sight. I read to much about crib deaths and was a little paranoid. I purchased this product immediately and soon found myself at ease. I put it very close to my baby's crib and was able to turn up the volume to hear him breathing and make sure he was ok. Now he's 1 year old and at this very moment he doesn't seem to want to take his nap so he gets winey. And I like the moniter because I can turn the volume down so I don't have to hear that either. He can get pretty loud. I forget to turn the camera off and its pretty much been on for months with no problems of heating up or bad visual. I feel that I should take care of that issue more often because I wouldnt want to underestimate its durabilty. It cost good money and should be taken care of to keep it lasting a lifetime. I am now pregnant with another child and hope this camera lasts just as long as it did with my first. I love it! Sure makes me sleep better at night=) And there have been times where my baby was not positioned right in his crib. Had I not had the camera, who knows what could have happened.
