It’s the best. I was looking for similar products for babys, in Target or Babies’r us, and they are just expensive and lower quality. Lorex is pretty good

The video monitor works great. I love to watch our new baby in his crib. This is our second child and it is nice to check on him by looking at the monitor and not have our toddler follow me when I check on him and wake him up. There is a weird feature of a night light on the camera, which I don’t understand. The problem with this feature is that you can turn this light on by the hand held monitor by accident when you pick it up as the button for it is on the side. This does not work well for us as both my kids sleep in the dark and when I hit this the first time it jolted our toddler awake when she was just starting to doze off. I just try no to hit it, but it sometimes gets accidentally turned on and I don’t realize it until I see it over the crib like a beacon. Our 7 month old sleeps in a Pack and Play for nap, which I hang the monitor over the side. He now likes to try to grab it as he likes the red infared lights. Our toddler just looked at the lights once with her face right up to the camera, it was funny watching her on the monitor. After that, she never bothered with it or cared it was there.
The picture is clear. You will need to play around with the sensitivity of the audio trigger. If it is too high then you will go from silence to a scream and it will scare you. You just need to adjust it and it is fine. I like the button where you can turn off the monitor to save batteries then with the touch of a button turn it back on. I have not tried the camera with only batteries yet, even though that was one of the reasons we bought it. I also like the idea of adding cameras to the unit. Soon our kids will share a room and we plan on having a camera over each bed. Another negative is that I wish the handheld monitor had a stand when you did not have it in the charger cradle so you can see the video without having to pick it up.

I used the Lorex LW2002B for a couple of nights in parallel with my existing Summer Infant “Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor 2.5″ Screen”. I returned the Lorex when it failed to alert me to my son’s cries in the middle of the night (whereas the SI model did).
I give this item two stars because it has some very nice features:
- Great reception, no interference
- Privacy
- Great screen video (for a baby monitor)
- Accommodates up to four cameras, with scanning capability (great if you’ve got more than two kiddos or want to monitor multiple rooms)
- Hooks up to the TV for PIP viewing
- sleek design
What I didn’t like and the primary reason for my returning it:
- The audio turns off after about one second if there is no sound in the room. There is no option to override this function (e.g. keep the sound on continuously).
- Despite set to maximum sensitivity on both the camera and the receptor, and with perfect reception, it did not sound the alarm or turn on the audio/video at my child’s cries until he was thoroughly awake, upset and beginning to wail.
I like to be aware of my children’s sleepy whines well before they get themselves into a state of distress and alertness. Although I don’t want to run in at every moan or whimper, a more sensitive monitor, or one with an “audio always on” option, will enable me to make the determination if they need attention or can self-sooth.
Additionally, some minor complaints:
- the sound is a bit “tinny”
- the unit does not automatically default to power saver mode for the video when on batteries (it stays in the user-specified mode whether on battery or the power adapter).
I ended up replacing the Lorex with the Summer Infant “Best View Digital Video Baby Monitor” and, though I’ve only used if for one night so far and it’s not perfect (I have yet to find the “ultimate” baby monitor), I’m finding it has the essential functionality that I need to care for my little ones. Hope this helps!
