Problems to report - and zero help from Lorex!,
Update: I opened a new ticket at Lorex a few days ago, hoping to get some explanation or further help. Two days later they closed my ticket without contacting me or providing any explanation whatsoever. I'd write to the president of the company, but I'm so frustrated I'll let it go and not plot on ever purchasing Lorex products. That's the best I can do. Changing my stars rating down as low as I can go. But I'll provide an update if I ever hear from Lorex again. Doesn't seem likely though since they completely ignored my request for help, without any explanation, apology, or anything! Yuck.
So I'm moving on... to companies that care about their customers.

|Excellent for inside use or outdoor day use. Not so excellent for outdoor night use.,
This wireless camera might make a very excellent baby monitor, and as it has Android and iOS free apps it can be very handy.
I have a Foscam FI8910W which was only $70 on Amazon. It is the only other wireless camera I've ever used so it is my reference.
I was excited to see the Lorex LNC201 was a higher resolution system than the Foscam. The one things I wished I had on the Foscam was better resolution. But the Lorex night use simply isn't as excellent as the Foscam, even though the Foscam is much lower resolution. I reckon it has to do with the Lorex only having a single infrared light while the Foscam has a whole ring of lights. Also the video feed from the Lorex is irregular and jumpy while the Foscam is solid. The Lorex has many settings. Perhaps with time I could find settings (resolution, frames per second, etc.) that would produce a better image.
I don't have a daytime or indoor use for a wireless camera. That may be where the Lorex shines.
My problem is animals that come into our yard in the dark of night. We have gophers, skunks, raccoon, deer and fox. The raccoon do the most hurt and we've been trying to find ways to prevent them from being in our yard.
The Foscam printed instructions are a joke, while the Lorex instructions are quite excellent. Several of the Foscam software features simply don't work (like setting the camera date and time), while all of the Lorex software features work well.
The Foscam, for a much lower price, is built with better materials, and has remote pan and tilt features. It also has a wider angle capture area than the Lorex.
The Lorex is all cheap plastic with a metal base, expensive, and has excellent quality daylight images.
The Foscam automatically switches from infrared black and white to daylight color. The Lorex requires you to do a manual switch from black and white to color. Both the Foscam and Lorex have two way audio. Both can be monitored on a PC or handheld devices with a browser or app.
For my use the motion detection is of no use on either the Foscam or Lorex because I'm using them outside (neither model is suggested for outside use) where the trees and bushes tend to trigger the motion detection, and both fail to register alarms when a raccoon in in the image but more than 10' away from the camera.
I recorded video on my PC with both the Foscam and Lorex. The Foscam made 60 minute videos while the Lorex produced 5 minute videos which made it very hard to review a whole night of video files. There may be a way to change the file length of the Lorex but I couldn't find it (I'm technically savvy).
For my money the Foscam is a much better value for nighttime use. The Lorex might be better for inside use due to the higher resolution if you need that capability. Other than resolution, setup, and documentation I can't reckon of a single feature that isn't available on one camera vs the other. Oh yes the Lorex has a temperature reading but I found that to be an odd feature although it seems to be useful to others.
As the Lorex is intended for inside use, or perhaps use through a window to outside (didn't work for me) it may indeed be a fine wireless camera for you, albeit a bit on the expensive side.

|Works fantastic along with LNC-104 cameras - nice added features from previous generation,
* High definition 720p resolution
* Built-in speaker
* Temperature sensor (infrared)
What this means is that the 204 will message me (text or email) if the temperature gets out of range (I set the top end at 100F), sound an alarm if triggered (for any reason) and broadcast my voice from my smart phone without attaching an external speaker (which was required on the 104 series). Combined with higher resolution, it was the perfect fit to round out my set of four cameras.
The image quality of the 204 is a vast improvement. But although the image is very excellent, it is not the 720p you would expect from say a down scaled DVD. But, I found that enlarged snapshots and video from my phone, PC and the units SD card were more than adequate for home surveillance.
What I really like about the Lorex LNC system is that it makes monitoring my house from my Android based Galaxy S3 a snap. The free app is simple to use once you play with it for a bit. Most all camera functions are addressable via the app and setting motion or IR alarms when I walk out of the house takes less than a minute (of note, each camera is set separately - a must if you have pets and need a "pet zone" ). I live in a large metro area and police will not respond to ringing home alarms. They require a direct call with positive confirmation of intrusion before they will respond. The Lorex system will send you notification via text message or email that includes an image. Then the police are just one phone call away.
Also, live viewing of any camera is quick via the app (or via network computer). Once the app is opened, one touch gets you sound and video for any of your cameras - and with the new camera I can even talk back and the camera will project my voice. The 204 even tells me the temperature in my house on the image show. One last note, the night vision is brilliant on all of the cameras. In nearly no light I can see across a 30 foot room (the image is black and white for low light conditions).
The setup for the 204 is just like the 104 series. That is to say, the first camera will take you awhile to set up and learn the settings - but once set up it works very well. The only real difference in set up between the 104 and the 204 relates to the temperature feature. My two setup tips:
* If you want an SMS text message sent to you for an alarm, you have to set it up as an email alarm. Just use your carrier's information and your phone number for the email recipient. For example I use: 5551234567@mms.att.net for the email address where 5551234567 is my cell phone number. Works perfectly.
* The initial login information for setting up the camera on your PC is `admin" with no password.
I use this system nearly every day. When I am away from home, it gives me fantastic piece of mind to be able to quickly view my house, check on the dog and set alarms.
