Gear for travelers: Lorex Live Connect home-monitoring system
Lorex Live Connect home-monitoring systemWhat it is: An easy-to-use camera system that works wirelessly through your Internet router to let you see what’s going on at home from anywhere in the world through a free Skype account on a PC, Mac, iPhone or iPad. The unit also has night vision.The good: Because this works on Skype, it’s basically plug in and play. Connecting the Lorex base unit to your router takes 10 seconds. The wireless camera communicates with the base unit. then you must create two free Skype accounts (or just one if you already have an account). you call the second account using your first account and — voilà — you have a security window into your home or office.The bad: What you miss is motion-detected recording capability, which you would want in a court case.Cost: $299 on the Lorex website, but shop around.available from: lorextechnology.com; 888-425-6739. Ask for the Skype-assisted unit, not the baby monitor.– Ross Werland, Chicago Tribune
