Lorex LW2002W Portable LCD Wireless Surveillance System
This was our second monitor we bought. It has since been returned. What we did not like about it:
1. LCD only stays on for a few seconds and then power saves off.
2. Audio is not a continuous speaker, it only kicks on if it “hears” a sound.
We have a newborn and based on these reviews, we thought it would be perfect. My wife H A T E D this so back it went. It wasn’t that great for a baby monitor, in our opinion.

I own a 2 year old 2.4ghz from Sharper image. I really like this one, but now have 2 children to monitor. The Lorex interfers the signal of my Sharper Image, so I can not use them both as I had hoped to. I do not believe that I will be able to use any other system (this is my 3rd try) so I’ll likely be buying the second camera for the Lorex.
My phones are dect 6.0.
For the same distance, my Sharper Image monitor is more real time where the Lorex sometimes shows frame by frame movement even within a 10 foot range. I have not tested the range limit yet.
The monitor screen on the Lorex is very good. Its large screen is a bonus and I really like the rechargeable base station. Don’t expect vibrant colors like your TV. I haven’t seen this out of any system that I’ve tried yet.
The negative is as other’s have mentioned, I would prefer to have constant sound. My 2 year old often plays quietly on the floor of her room where she is not within the monitor’s view. I can’t tell if she’s napping under the covers or playing quietly on the floor unless she starts singing or I open the door and blow my ‘free’ time..which isn’t going to happen!
Overall, I believe this to be the best camera on the market. I expect them to improve drastically over the next few years, wish I could wait.

I bought this monitor based on the other reviews. I really hated this monitor. I sent it back. It is not intuitive and has sever major problems.
Pros: Great picture
Cons:
Battery life – around 3 hours
Sound- sputters and the lowest volume setting is way too loud
Scanning – or rather non-scanning – would not stay on camera 2 when I wanted it to stop scanning.
Cord for plugging in camera is way too short.
One camera makes a buzzing noise, the other didn’t.
We ended up buying the Summer Multivew. I hope it works better. This was awful.

We purchased this item six months ago but only started using it on the 16th of September.. right the day that I came back home from the hospital.. my baby is now 3 months and a half and the monitor reception is not working any more…. I actually would like to know if it is possible to send it back and get a new one, a repared one or a refund…
Regards,

While It worked, part of day 1, it was great. We tested it out while my 15 month old was taking a nap. It wasn’t until I woke up in the middle of night to notice the problem…
I just recently purchased the Portable color LCD Digital wireless monitoring system (model: LW2002). I received it last night and immediately hooked it up. It worked for a few hours, and then at 4 in the morning my wife noticed the receiver was showing no signal. We went to investigate and found the Camera’s power button and light flashing. I unpluged it and plugged in the ac adaptor for the monitor and it worked fine. It was getting a full charge. This is really inconvenient for use in the Nursery.
Upon further research I found other technicians saying that the soldering job on the AC adapter on the board was really poor quality and gave reason to why there were several faults. So its up to the individual. Goodluck!
