Lorex LH3381001 Vantage EDGE2 Digital Video Surveillance Recorder (Black)

Good product from Lorex. The better compression of the edge 2 gives me a lot more recording time than my 1GB upgraded edge 1. I easily double recoding time with same size hard drive and twice as many cameras. I would however buy this and cameras seperately. There are some packages which sell both but the bundled cameras are really poor.

This company has a very poor customer service BBB rated them as D-, they do not honor their warranty and since they are not a US company they believe they do not have to do a good job. This company sells poor products and they run you around and will never honor the warranty. Do not buy LOREX go somewhere else.

After a few months of use, pleasantly surprised on the logical arrangement and ease of operating the menu and features. Provides critical features w/straight-forward usability w/o excessive gimmicks or features unlikely to be used. Particularly like the unit's very small physical footprint and the small but powerful remote control, which is simple to use and can do just about everything you need it to do. From my recliner I can easily adjust motion sensor field of view and sensitivity of any camera, quickly review motion alarms or footage recorded minutes or days before, and do many other things. You can also use the remote to instantly record a still JPEG image or to record a "movie" of an incident onto a USB "Flash/Thumb" Drive. I keep one attached to the DVR.

I keep the small recorder out of sight behind some stuff inside one of my cabinets, and run the IR extension line out the back with the small sensor on the end taped relatively out of sight but still in operable view of the remote control. I can easily and quickly switch from watching TV to viewing all or any one of the cameras, and vice-versa, or I sometimes leave the cameras on while home and not watching TV. The DVR fan has 3 speeds. I use the medium speed, which keeps the unit inside the enclosed cabinet relatively cool, and is still very quiet.

For my set-up, I have 4 cameras set at max resolution that record around the clock, which continuosly records for about 9 days before recording over the oldest footage (the duration is visible on the screen and actively changes as you make changes to parameters in the Menu). Of course you can increase duration by recording at set times and/or days instead of 24-7, reducing the frame rate or quality on one or more cameras, or using fewer cameras. A continuous 9 days history is more than enough for me.

I have not yet tried to set up the mobile connectivity, so cannot comment on this application. Will update when I do.

I own a Lorex Camera and it's impressive, however, this DVR was the opposite. It made a high pitched whine and was missing a camera connection cord. I returned and instead purchased a Q-See DVR. Sorry Lorex, the Q-See DVR product is better. PS -Amazon nice job on making the return painless, thank you.
