Security Camera
I monitor people coming and going from the front of my home this includes autos. It works at night time. The picture is clear enough for me but could be better.

Must have a DVR or else never sleep...
This is a kind of cool 'starter' kit for a surveillance system. Easy to install, and with great picture quality.
Here's the thing, it says it can show via your monitor or television or DVR. True, but unless you want to sit there and simply watch, you must have a DVR. I had wanted to use it to see what wildlife roams my yard at night (we live in the country). But I don't have a DVR. So it worked great as long as I sat and watched it on my big flat screen. But there's no way I could have recorded it without a DVR so my plan failed. Maybe if I heard a noise and flipped the TV on, it could work.
The advertising for it to me is a bit vague...it doesn't really explain why the DVR is so essential. I'm guessing that the "security DVR" they recommend with the extra cameras would up the price significantly in order to be actually useful.
The viewing field is fairly narrow-but the picture is very clear.

OK for the price here at B&H Photo
The LW2110 wireless camera is OK for the price I paid here. It has a cmos lens so it not as good as my wired CCD lens cameras. I tried to use one outdoors about 150 feet from the receiver. It would not work. It kept trying to connect, and to buy the extended range kit for this camera at around $100.00 is not worth it. So if you can mount your cameras close to the receiver they might be OK for you.

User friendly, entry level
The Lorex LW2110 Wireless Digital Security Camera is a user friendly security camera. Setup is relatively easy with the only problem is being able to power the camera in a remote location. There are 2 settings for viewing, a 640 x 480, 12fps mode and a more smooth, 320x240, 30 fps mode which is controlled via a button on the receiver. The night viewing capability is excellent in low light conditions and is easily capable of viewing up to 60ft as stated on the box.
Pros:
+ Easy setup
+ Low light capabilities
+ Wireless
+ Weather proof housing
Cons:
- Limited spatial resolution
- Slow frame rates at higher resolution
- Not network capable
The LW2110 field of view is more suitable for a store shop surveilance than any kind of "long" range (i.e 60ft) surveillance. The spatial resolution of the camera makes it very hard to determine what a person is doing 60ft away let alone identify a person. The slower frame rate for higher resolution mode is also very degrading to the imagery. Things can easily be missed by dropped frames along with this low frame rate. I understand the lower frame rate is most likely to preserve bandwidth but with all the wireless technologies available I would expect better performance than 12fps at 640x480.

GOOD BUT NOT GREAT
It is a good unit for the house. It is not so good if you need to see in detail. Like a face or a license plate. Not so hot in darkness. I give it a middle grade.

Not too shabby
Fairly easy to set up, works fine with my Swann equipment (DVR) good picture. Has to be a pretty open line of sight for the camera and receiver to pair up. Very nice night vision. Would not work with camera outside of house, had to use as inside camera.

OK, but not great
The cameras work OK, but I only recommend these cameras if you have clear lines of sight to where you will place your receiver, probably something hard to do if you're installing more than one. Mine that are only about 20' away lose connection all the time, seemingly every time the wind blows.
Also remember that you still need a cable for power, and there's a cable that will hang from it to 'pair' it to the receiver. The receiver has a wire for signal, and power as well, making for a lot of spaghetti for a wireless system.
My suggestion is to avoid wireless for now, and just run the signal wire through your attic to the receivers, then patch up the walls. I think you'll be happier in the long run.

GOOD ENTRY LEVEL CAMERA
Better than expected. Image is pretty clear in daylight. Image OK (not great) with IR turned on. Extremely simple to install. No drilling or attic work required. I use this camera to augment my wired cameras. Note that a power source outlet is needed either indoors or outdoors to operate the camera. The receiving antenna also needs a power source. The antenna output either plugs directly into the video in on your television or goes into an open channel on a DVR. The camera is a good buy considering the convenience and fairly decent image quality. Image resolution is user selectable at 640/480 or 320/240 my simply pressing a button on the receiving antenna. The actual camera is smaller than it appears. It can be mounted near a power outlet or simply stood up on a flat surface.

O.K. for the price
Not a true outdoor camera and when they say max range "line of sight" they mean it. No windows, trees, glass, brick, wood, or drywall. If these barriers are in the way they will substantially reduce the signal. Best use is inside close to receivers. I am using these cameras under soffits or some kind of shelter right next to the receivers otherwise they will get moisture in them and fog up the lens. The software is pretty good and allows multiple permutations with regard to communication off site, movement and sensing options. They just need better/sharper image cameras that are moisture resistant. Night vision is better than most. I am happy with that.

You need a DVR
If you don't have a DVR, you can't record images, limiting the usefulness of this device for surveillance. There is no recording device in the camera itself. The camera itself is fine. Image is good and isntallation is easy.

Bad Signal
I just installed the LW 2110 today and the wireless signal is extremely poor. I setup my camera in the terrace and placed my DVR around 15ft away across a wall from the room to the terrace.I am still losing signal even around 10ft and I had to literally place the reciever on the window side to catch some signal.
The power supply is also a problem since it is too short and is not at all weather resistant.
Video quality is ok but I wasnt impressed by it. At night when IR is on, there is too much motion blur to notice or distinguish moving subjects.
If I knew how this item performed I really wpuld have gone for a good quality, weather-sealed WIRED camera instead. Dont even be fooled by this product. C

Wireless is not for everybody. Is it a brick wall that the signal has to pass through. Kindly read about advantages and limitations of wireless cameras on the site before purchasing.

I purchased four cameras and a DVR. The cameras work well during the day. I'm not very impressed by the night vision but the problems I encountered may be caused by a street lamp down the road. Closer images are clear but about 25 to 30 ft away becomes greyed out. Cameras mounted inside and pointed out show absolutely nothing at night - and at least one of the two rooms is very dark.
The biggest issue I have, and the reason I will be returning the unit if a solution cannot be provided to me soon, is the interference with my WIFI. As soon as the cameras are turned on, my WIFI goes out. Not only that, my router becomes overloaded with data which knocks out my internet access. To solve the problem I must turn off the cameras and reboot the router.
A warning should be included about this. I see from at least one other review, that this is not a new problem.
