Lorex LW2201 is a very simple and easy to install surveillance system. The color camera is wireless (from the receiver) and solidly constructed for outdoor use/installation. It also capture sound (built-in mic) and able to see in the total darkness with the help of the infra-red LEDs. The receiver included in this LW2201 package can take up to 4 cameras to see 4 different location at the same time.

Pros:
1. Wireless operation (between camera and receiver)
2. Wireless distance is reasonable/usable (advertised up to 450 feet)
3. Mic included in the camera (will capture sound)
4. Camera has night vision mode that can see at zero light (with the help of infra-red LEDs)
5. Color video/camera when not in night vision mode.
6. 640 X 480 VGA resolution (at 12 FPS, or 320 X 240 at 30 FPS)
7. Easy to install and configure
8. Can receive up to 4 camera (and can view all 4 camera on one screen)
9. Camera is solidly build for outdoor installation
10. Receiver Can be connected to TV/Monitor or Recorder
11. Image quality is good (much better than the average security camera)

Cons:
1. Wireless distance vary depending on the type of environment (concrete walls, other signal interference, etc)
2. Sound range is limited and the mic is not very sensitive
3. Camera viewing range is reduced on night vision mode
4. This Lorex LW2201 surveillance system is not wi-fi enabled (or able to be seen/accessed through the internet)
5. The infra-red LED glows (so it is not suitable if you need a covert night cam)

In summary, Lorex LW2201 Weatherproof Ultra Digital Wireless Surveillance System has good image quality, capture sound, night vision enabled, wireless color camera, easy to install and configure.

Also check the following options:

- If you are building a security system from scratch and need viewing screen/LCD, at least 2 cameras, and a wireless camera receiver, then get the Lorex LW2602 package

- If you already have your own TV/LCD/Recorder and just looking for a camera and a wireless receiver, then get this LW2201 package

- If you already have the LW2201 camera package (which include the wireless receiver) and just need additional cameras, then get the Lorex LW2201AC1 Additional Camera
