Surveillance specialist Lorex now plans to release two new wireless camera systems for home security, BetaNews has learned, including a night vision-enabled system coming this fall that can stream over the Internet.
NEW YORK CITY (BetaNews) - Lorex' LW20022 wireless video security system -- list priced at $249 -- is expected to ship in two weeks. And also at this week's Digital Life press preview, Lorex demo'd an Internet-enabled, high-resolution Easy Connect Network camera.
The LW2002W Wireless 2.4" LCD Video Security System, a home security product that packages a night vision-enabled metal camera along with a 2.4-inch portable color LCD monitor/receiver, is due to be shipped this fall.
Video can be streamed wirelessly from the camera at distances of up to 450 feet to either the accompanying portable monitor/receiver or another compatible surveillance system or TV -- meaning that you can monitor your kids or the front door to your house, for instance, from either inside the house or outside in your yard.
Each LW2002W monitor supports up to four cameras, company spokespersons said, speaking with BetaNews at the Lorex booth. The camera features a 3.6mm lens. Other capabilities of the LW2002W include listen-in audio and 350.0 TV lines recording resolution.
The Wi-Fi-enabled Easy Connect Network surveillance will stream high res video over the Internet, according to the Lorex spokespersons. The surveillance video will also be viewable from a variety of mobile devices, including Apple's iPhone.
Factory shipment of the LW2002W to Lorex has been delayed, but delivery is now anticipated in a couple of weeks, BetaNews was told.
Although the LW2002W hasn't been officially announced, BetaNews discovered this afternoon that several Web sites -- including Amazon.com and the P.C. Richard & Son site -- are advertising the system, mentioning in their ads that shipment has been delayed by two to three weeks.

|High-res? Still a 640 x 480 camera. Nothing revolutionary here. It does have sound which some wireless cameras don't.
Lorex, I am not even going to try it because I have been using Panasonic BL-C131A without a problem at the same price. And they support up to 8 cameras not 4.
