Read the 1 star reviews - rough. It isnt from people complaining, it is from people who come across the real issues are the Arlo garbage.
I spent $2k on their garbage, and I had issue after issue with them. They would open a ticket, then "resolve" it days later with zero contact or resolution.

Installing and getting all the cameras working involved me spending at least 6 hours on the phone with tech support, all of which was based offshore and they'd make me go through 20 minutes of the same exact steps I'd previously tried every single call. Some issues were never resolved, such as the doorbell camera and audio being so slow to load that it would literally take 1-2 minutes from when someone rang the bell and I tried to load live video before I got a picture, and the audio delay when trying to speak to someone was 15 seconds at minimum, it was often longer. (I've got AT&T fiber with excellent speeds that supports multiple devices and TVs streaming at 4k simultaneously, and excellent wifi coverage.) I now have a Google doorbell and just keep the cameras for live viewing.
I will never buy more Arlo products, nor will I EVER recommend them to other people.

Lorex - would you say a neophyte could use it successfully? I'm not a luddite, but I'm no tech god either. And would it work in the woods?
I have about 10 acres where we have lived relatively trouble-free for 25 years but we got a problematic neighbor recently. It's time to monitor for the first time ever. I need enhanced wifi coverage because we get one bar of cell service here. And tough equipment. I can get wifi boosters easily enough but the equipment is holding me back.

Lorex has wifi cameras, but as with any brand it will be dependent on your wifi strength. Sounds like wifi coverage is your first issue to resolve.

tx, and yes, agreed on the wifi. I can get that sorted.
But my worry is ease of use (don't need constant trouble-shooting and I don't have advancd IT chops) and toughness of equipment - it'd be outdoors in PA weather.
