Review by D. Blankenship for Lorex LW2003 LIVE `snap` Video Baby Monitor (White)Rating: to make that we do not use this unit to monitor babies as we have none_having gone through that `baby thing` days and days ago.No, we use this unit to monitor dogs!Now before you go off on me, keep in mind that our dogs are treated far, far better than many babies and children we see round us today.
ur dogs are part of our family and set as such.
As to this unit:It was everything we wanted in such a spin and actually works for us better than we anticipated.
Set up was such that even a very low tech person such as myself had absolutely no problems what so every.The instructions were easily written, very exact and I had absolutely no problems understanding them_a rarity for me.I was able to see how to make this convenience will little effort.Yes, it took a bit of figuring out, but that was a rather painless process.
We found the sound character to be quite effective for our needs. When the new Boston Terrier pup starts rearranging the kitchen trash when we are not in the room, we see it instantly.Our bedroom is quite far from the kitchen so we were please with the range.
I love the ability to take snapshot with this unit!While the quality of the picture certainly is not that of my old Nikon FA or that of my wife`s fancy digital that I had to take out a second mortgage for, it is acceptable and we are able to get many candid shots that we alone could get not other way.
The night vision on this unit works rather well and very minor light is mandatory for it to be effective.
The camera portion of the altogether is a bit top heavy and you have to take care how you set it or it will tip over.For our purpose the mounting bracket was not applicable.I got around this by using strips of removable Velcro on the subject the camera was to be attached and on the place of the camera.This works out well.
I was quite happy with the two-way communication device. A sharp voice command such NO! and or BAD DOG! was quite effective.
Overall, I am quite satisfied with this product.If I were to use it to monitor babies, I feel I would like is for that use too.Could this device be better?Of course it could.In looking at the reviews here and on other such devices offered, it seems that there are flaws in all of them and different folks have different needs; indeed, different tolerance levels.
