For those looking for simplicity in an indoor/outdoor surveillance system, the Lorex wireless surveillance security system (LW1020) may be a good option.
The Lorex LW1020 would be a great camera for the front or rear door (or both by adding an optional second camera for around $80). It’s wireless transmission allows for easy mounting, and the camera itself can pivot to adjust to the desired angle. The LW1020 camera can be hooked up to any A/C outlet, or can work off batteries for true wireless operation. The video signal is always wireless, though – and is sent to the receiver which can be connected to any A/V device or computer via USB port.
If you opt for the PC setup, you can enable remote viewing for any internet connection, which includes other PCs, mobile PDAs, and the iPhone.
The LW1020 has ‘night vision’ feature that enhances low-light viewing of up to 23 feet in optimal conditions.
In addition to video, this Lorex camera has a built-in microphone to monitor sound in the area as well.
The kit includes: 1 x Wireless Receiver, 1 x Wireless Camera, 1 x USB Cable, 1 x 9V DC Power Adaptor (camera), 1 x 5V DC Power Adaptor (receiver), 1 x RCA Video Output Cable, 1 x Camera Battery Adapter Cable, and can be found for around $149 online.
