Great Video Monitor Pros: easy
"Great Video Monitor Pros: easy to set up, great video even in the dark, good reception Cons: sound not great "We purchased this to keep an eye on our toddler who now sleeps in a bed. Couldn't be happier with the video monitor. The picture, even the dark, is great and the reception in our two story house is quite good (except for when my husband gets too close, the metal rods in his leg interfere with it). Worked right out of the box. It's unfortunate that it won't work with Skype with my mac but I knew that before I bought it so that wasn't a surprise. The audio isn't great. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the sound only really comes on when there is loud sound. Since we already have a sound monitor we just use it instead."

I'm pretty disappointed in this
"I'm pretty disappointed in this setup, which I have had for a little over 2 years. Within a year, the monitor stopped holding a charge for longer than ~10 minutes. More recently, the battery started swelling, which prevented us from keeping the monitor in the dock. I had to completely remove the battery to be able to use the system. I do like the stationary camera. The pan-tilt camera seems nice, but is much noisier than the stationary one. Despite a volume and sensitivity setting, we were unable to remove the background static noise from the monitor. This wouldn't be too bad, but it makes a very jarring noise every time the monitor switches from the stationary camera to the pan-tilt."

We have been extremely happy
"We have been extremely happy with this purchase. It has all of the necessary functionality and we have had no issues with it. We actually bought a second one for another couple and they love it too! I don't know how we ever survived with only being able to hear our little ones 😊"

I have three cameras and
"I have three cameras and two monitors. The cameras work okay. One camera comes in very loud with white noise. The other camera doesn't seem to pick up much of any noise. I do not like the music feature or the talk features. Both seem to frighten the kids. My issue is that after less than a year, BOTH of my monitors stopped working consistently. The battery lasts less than 10 minutes. If you touch it to adjust it, it turns off and resets. My newer monitor currently will not charge or turn on at all. I feel this product is unreliable."

This monitor has no range.
"This monitor has no range. While our kids sleep on a different floor, they are only 38 feet from our master bedroom and the camera is out of range. I have had no luck with customer service and a manager won't return my calls. I am extremely frustrated and this monitor is totally worthless to me. I spent $500 on this monitor and add on cameras and it was a total waste of money."

I am appalled at the
"I am appalled at the lack of customer service from Lorex. I spent a whopping $250 on this camera system and now the monitor doesn't work. So now I have to pay to ship the stupid monitor back to them and wait, with no monitor, for them to ship me one back. What a joke. Oh, and the battery life, may 30-40 minutes before I have to plug it in again. I have only been using this camera for 3 months. I am not one to complain, but this is ridiculous!"

couldn't be happier with this
"couldn't be happier with this product absolutely the best bang for your buck no questionI purchased medical equipment for a living and I could tell you that this is of the same quality we're expecting our hospitals monitoring security everything functions perfectly in all for a price better than you would see if your typical store."

All in all we've really
"All in all we've really enjoyed the system--the cameras are clear and sound is solid. My only negative thus far is the lack of ease with which to view the cameras remotely. The Skype option is good for grandparents for a quick facetime call, but the system doesn't make sense if you are looking for something to check in on from work and so we will probably end up getting seperate system for that purpose. That said, for a dedicated home system we've been very impressed and it is definitely worth comparing (and is generally superior to) the other dedicated home systems on the market."

We are finding this camera
"We are finding this camera to be awesome. We use it for our four month old, we don't usually need the video but the option to turn it off the video is great. We often use the second video to talk to our dog to bug him when he is doing something in another room. So all in all it was a good investment. When we contacted customer service about some issues they got back to us right away and provided the solution we need to fix our issues. The only thing is that the distance could be increased a bit I can't go into my backyard with the camera and the battery does not seem to last 4 hours even with the video off."

We bought this camera unit
"We bought this camera unit when we were expecting our second baby. It's great! We have one set up in our toddler's room and the other in the baby's room. The quad-screen feature is nice, although I wish they had a dual-screen option since we only have 2 cameras. The picture quality is very good and I love the temperature gauge. The battery life is not fantastic, as I have to charge it every day. So far, I am very happy with my purchase."
