Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1GKOFE1YT3PNF I will warn you – this review (especially the video portion) will not tell you every detail of the Lorex Edge Security Bundle. However, I will attempt to show you on how the system sets up (from a basic installation) how it works what it looks like on your video monitor.
Notes -
- Pretty good picture – not HD, of course, but it does have good picture for this price point.
- Decent low light capability
- Basic set-up is relatively easy. IF YOU DO NOT plan to integrate the security bundle to network installation will take about an hour – and be accomplished by anyone
- If you are planning to run this through your network you will need some advanced understanding of port forwarding and ways to set-up your router.
- For some reason the bundle does not come with a VGA cable- which is required for use with a monitor.
- Does not have RCA outputs…. the unit only works with a network or through a direct VGA output. I found this to be an odd oversight.
- Comes with a basic remote control and mouse.
- Security bundle is NOT wireless – each camera comes with 60′ of cable that must be plugged into the base unit. This is not as big of a disadvantage as it may seem – wireless security packages can be hacked and require each camera to be individually powered.
- Cameras do NOT need to be near a power outlet. The video output cable (That plugs into the back of the base unit) runs next to a power cord, in fact, the cable can ONLY be plugged into an outlet near the base unit.
- Unit can record based on a timer/calendar
- Unit can record based on a motion detector.
- If you watch the video you will see a bird that sticks his beak directly in front of the camera. This is impressive because the camera has a focus and capture zone ranging from 1′ to about 100′. This gives you great security coverage!
- All of the mounting hardware is included, this includes wall anch
