QuestionWhy does thr monitor not work on battery power? it shuts off the second I remove the power cord. This is not what I expected.
Asked 9 years ago by Pappyrem.
- Answer It probably requires a 5v battery and it DOES NOT come included with the unit. Best Buy doesn't sell them, they've responded to my question, a visit and even opened up a different unit and the battery is NOT included. Lorex hasn't answered the 2 emails as of yet that I've sent over the past month and they didn't have them available on their website. The battery compartment is located under the monitors' back panel that has 2 phillips head screws holding it. It's a really nice unit, but to not include the battery AND not have one available left us hanging...

QuestionSo you are able to monitor your home from away on your android phone? Is it an app that you need to download to phone and does it work well and send alerts to your phone when there is motion?
Asked 9 years ago by STEVEN.
- Answer Yes, there is an app for both Droid and Apple. The app isn't bad in itself, but I had to turn it off, as I kept getting too many false alarms, and the barrage of alerts was driving me nuts. Motion detection is far too sensitive even on the lowest level, but if you live far off the road, it might work for you.

QuestionAre these battery operated cameras? If not do you have this same type system with battery operated cameras?
Asked 9 years ago by Kozy.
- Answer These cameras do not use batteries. They each come with a power adapter to plug into a nearby electrical outlet for a reliable power source. This allows for more installation options and reliability as you will not need to access the cameras frequently to replace or charge batteries. We currently do not offer battery operated cameras,

QuestionDo these cameras need to be wired directly into the house electricity? You mention they come with adapters, but I don't understand how these are connected. I understand everything else about the product.
Asked 9 years ago by KittyCity.
- Answer The cameras have to be plugged into a standard 120v residential electrical outlet. You can run them down the wall to a nearby power outlet or drill a 3/8" hole in the wall and pass the wire through your attic and plug into an outlet up there if you have one. The adapter has a terminal connecting the plug to the camera to accommodate running the wire through walls.

QuestionHow far can the monitor be from the camera and still receive a signal
Asked 9 years ago by Camerageak.
- Answer In an open field (with line of sight), a typical wireless camera has a range between 250 - 500 feet. 'Line-of-sight' means that there are no obstructions between the camera and receiver. Obstructions include walls, buildings, trees, and certain electronic devices. Materials containing moisture (for example, leaves) may also act as an obstruction. Cubical walls, drywall, glass, and windows generally do not degrade wireless signal strength.

QuestionHow do you view LW2762H video files with a Win7 PC?
Asked 8 years ago by wifiwanderer.
- Answer Your PC must have a SD card reader (hardware). Then you'll need a DVR converter (software). Then simply pull the SD card from the monitor insert it into the card reader on the PC and copy the files from the card to the PC. Then run the converter software converting the DVR files to another file format of your choice.

QuestionWhy wouldn't the box state that you can't record 720p past 2 cameras? It will only do lower resolution recording with any additional cameras. That's okay though, this is STILL a good system to work with. Just pick your favorite 2 cameras and move on.

QuestionHow do I play back video from the monitor or do I have to remove SD card to view? I do not have this set up to internet so was wanting to just play back from monitor
Asked 8 years ago by Playback.
- Answer Hello, The DVR will need to be connected into a monitor or TV with HDMI to view the playback from the system itself. When viewing, you can back up the important video segments to a USB thumb drive for later viewing on a computer without the need to connect to the internet. Thanks, Lorex Technology
