   Faulty Product & Does NOT Work Well for Remote Viewing (1 camera max!), September 2, 2013

   We bought the Live SD9+ wireless video monitoring system (Model LW2932 ?) directly from Lorex with two additional wireless cameras in May 2013. Quick forward to August and the show unit is no longer working - completely unresponsive. When we press the menu button it simply reboots it self over and over. Ugh.

   The product is marketed to make you reckon you can easily view your system remotely. You can monitor a single camera via Skype. ONE CAMERA. If you have two or more cameras, you have to CHOOSE which camera you wish to view remotely and then you're stuck with just that one. And no, you cannot toggle through the different cameras. I'm unsure as to why this system only works with Skype, but this means that the other cameras aren't accessible or viewable to you when you're not home. So, if something is happening on #2, #3, or #4 cameras, you won't be able to tell until you come home and view your recording(s). It also requires that your show is connected to a computer that is left ON the entire time. So if you want the show in your bedroom where you can monitor things that might wake you in the middle of the night, you have to have a computer system in there too. Yeah, right. I don't reckon so.

   When it did "work" (sic) the range was OK - we were able to place a camera in the backyard and get video, but there was loads of sound interference between the cameras and unit even when they weren't that close to each other.

   You can only place 4 wireless cameras on this system, too. No more. That's it. So if you need a system with 5 or 6 cameras, this system doesn't expand to allow that.

   We've questioned Lorex for a refund for the SD9+ and the two additional cameras (as they're useless to us w/o the system) but we'll see. I'll update this to let everyone know how this goes.

   9/3/2013:
   Lorex wrote back and said that because more than 30 days had elapsed, that they would not refund our money but would repair the item. They sent a prepaid UPS mark so we'll send off everything (the SD+9 unit and all four cameras) and see what happens. I questioned if they found a workaround that would allow us to view more than one camera remotely. Stay tuned for their answer.

   I bought the Lorex Live SD LW2932 system and had it set up in less than 10 minutes....unfortunately, it only worked for less than 10 minutes, went into a continual reboot sequence and all camera feeds were lost. I spent another 10 minutes packaging this piece of junk back up and promptly returned it. Excellent luck with Lorex customer service...I never did get a human to talk to...so I gave up...not worth it to give Lorex anymore of my time spent dealing with their garbage. This was my second attempt with a Lorex security system....there will never be a third.

   I was really on here looking for add on cameras. I bought this system to keep an eye on pregnant mares in my barn that was to far and to much of a hassle to run a wired system.Mine is an SD9+.I have gone through two other wireless systems that didn't make the grade.You'll find them on Ebay,,cheap...This one does make the grade.Set up is so simple a cave man could do it.The wireless range blew the others out of the water.I set the two cameras up in the foaling stall.The cameras are 12' and 24' inside the barn and 10' high.The signal goes through the barn wall(wood),150' to the house,through the outside wall of the house and through an inside wall in the house.Around 225 feet total with no obstructions between the barn and the house.The monitor recieves the signal at the full 4 bars.The video and audio are superb.The intercom feature makes it nice for positioning the cameras if you have another person with you...The monitor is small but can be hooked up to a flat screen tv with ease and lorex supplies the cable to do that.I hooked mine to a 19" flat screen I bought at walmart for $89...works brilliant..It records brilliant but you will have to buy an sd card.I don't need the motion detector but tried it out anyway.It takes a few seconds to kick on so you probably won't catch a car speeding down the street but with the right camera positioning you will capture someone or thing sneaking around your property.I don't use the remote viewing skype thing either nor do I ever plot to so I can't comment on that.The cameras are indoors so I can't comment on weather durability.So all in all for range,video,audio this system is a leap ahead of the others.It does exactly what I bought it for with better expectations.Honestly I was amazed.I have had this system a year and a half so far and not a problem.
