Are there any problems with the Lorex wireless camera?

Like any electronic gadget, some TLC (tender, loving care) goes a long way to ensuring your investment lasts a long time. Lorex recommends installing outdoor cameras away from the elements if at all possible. They are weatherproof, but a constant barrage of rain, snow and hail will damage them.

What kind of router do I need for my Lorex security camera?

Check the manual that came with your security system for more details. Security cameras use a 2.4 GHz frequency. Many other products in your home use this same frequency. Lorex recommends upgrading to a dual band router so you can have a 5GHz and a 2.4GHz signal.

Can a Windows 7 Monitor work with a Lorex DVR?
