This was the first time that we have purchased a security system so we spent a lot of time reading reviews as well as learning how various systems work. The Lorex system is EXACTLY as described on its website! The reviews that we read are accurate and to the point as well. This system was recommended to me by a friend and it was a great recommendation! The system arrive promptly and it was well packed. It even included a small box of tools for installation. Installation was simple and took less than 5 minutes per camera. We love the fact that we keep our videos and not some company or cloud. This is a great product and I can?t wait for the wireless doorbell to be released!

The first thing that impressed me was the packing. The kit has many parts ? the two cameras, their batteries, the recorder, a mouse, several cables, two manuals (for using the app or the recorder?s OS and a TV), and even a toolkit. They all had their own boxes, neatly nested into one large box. The next impressive things were the clarity of the manuals, and the downloaded Cirrus app for my iPhone. Using the app, I paired the cameras with the recorder, then mounted them outside the house to view the front and back doors. Then came a problem: the cameras began to drop out and had to be paired again, and also did not appear to be recorded. I called Lorex and the rep said he needed to see into what the app was doing by getting my permission to look at my phone. I reluctantly agreed and saw a screenshot was taken. Then the rep said we needed to look into what the Lorex OS on the recorder was doing, by attaching the mouse and a TV. I said that would take awhile. Meanwhile we tried unplugging the recorder to reboot it, and that lost the camera pairings. At that point the rep gave me a ticket number and said I was to call back after getting a TV going and using the recorder?s OS. So I found and connected a little TV with the kit?s HDMI cable, and tried to use the Lorex OS to set up the cameras and diagnose what they were telling the recorder. I found the interface incomprehensible and would have be talked through it by calling Lorex. Meanwhile, based on a tip in the manual, I moved the cameras about ten feet closer to the recorder, which was next to my router. They are now about 30 feet away from it. I paired the cameras with the recorder again using the app, and they have worked well ever since. The camera battery indicators show about half-used after ten days. So far the cameras have caught a family of opossums living under our deck. The field of view is quite wide and can be zoomed in by gestures on the phone. The Cirrus app is easy to use from the beginning, and then has many features that must be discovered through use and viewing the built in Help, and the occasional tips that appear. The whole system is well designed and works beautifully, with the advantage of being owned outright with no external storage or subscription. Just don?t get into using the recorder with a TV monitor ;-)

Bought the four wireless camera version. Long story short. Water moisture/ingress into camera. It stopped working called in before warranty went out. Need to be on site to troubleshoot. I was not as I travel for work. When I called back I was out of warranty and was denied replacement even though my case number/first call was from when I was still u see warranty.

I like the system but my one camera only stays charged for a week. I have only a small area of view selected.

I?ve been using this system for 20 days now and batteries are still almost full charge. System setup was not complicated and fairly easy. Get notifications if anyone is in view without picking up blowing limbs etc. I would recommend this system to anyone.

This is a great security camera system. Its an easy DIY installation and no monthly subscription and with all the latest features it is one of the best deal, Lorex is a reliable brand so very happy to buy this. Will install it once I receive my product and will write a follow up review on my experience.

Great camera. Very detailed day and night image. Wide 140 degree viewing angle compared to standard 70 degree angle with standard Image on most other cameras is much better. One of the important feature for me is the two way audio which allow me to interact anyone on my driveway or door.

This camera system is one of the systems in the crowded marketplace which caught my attention. The amazing features it has and a great price. All in all a fantastic product and the icing on the cake is the no subscription fees. these are few reasons I chose Lorex over other competitors. Will install it once I receive my product and will write a follow up review on my experience. Cheers!!!

I love the flexibility that these cameras give with the rechargeable batteries. Not having a cord makes them so versatile to place anywhere around your home where you have a WiFi connection. I will definitely be recommending this to friends and family.

Easy installation
This security camera is designed and engineered for quick and easy installation. It uses no cables at all - giving you more power, flexibility, and freedom in its installation. All you have to do is find the right spot, mount the unit, connect it to the recorder, and you're done. For optimal performance, it is recommended that you place the camera at least six feet (two meters) above the ground and no more than 20 feet (six meters) away from the area you wish to monitor.
Person Detection
The new Person Detection feature will reduce the amount of motion notifications delivered through the Lorex Cirrus app. This allows you to keep tabs on your property while only being notified for motion involving people.
Long distance wireless range
This wire-free camera has a built-in antenna that is capable of transmitting data up to 450 feet (137 meters) with a clear line of sight. This gives you more power and flexibility in deciding where to position the camera. With its long-distance wireless range, you can use this camera to cover your most distant property lines, such as detached buildings, barns, and open spaces in your property.
Note: Please note that concrete walls, trees, or other large objects will significantly reduce the strength of your signal. This may result in lower resolution recordings and dropped frames.
Properly Greet Uninvited Guests
We are proud to introduce our Active Deterrence feature to our wire-free cameras. Designed to prevent incidents before they occur, this wire-free camera comes with motion-activated LED warning lights and a siren that you can trigger from your phone if you see something suspicious.
2-Way Talk
A built-in speaker and microphone allows for 2-way audio functionality. Listen-in audio recording will add a whole new dimension to your overall security monitoring, as it can provide additional details (like a voice) should an incident occur. This camera also has a speaker that allows you to communicate with others through the camera using the Lorex Cirrus app.
Note: Please note that audio recording without consent is illegal in certain jurisdictions. Lorex assumes no liability for use of its products that does not conform with local laws.
Ultra-Wide Angle Lens
Equipped with ultra-wide angle lenses, wire-free cameras are designed for outdoor monitoring, such as doorways, the front of your house, vast backyards or large areas within the house or property. With its massive 140 Degree diagonal field of view, these wire-free cameras can cover large areas of your property.
Infrared night vision
Securing your loved ones and property is a 24-hour operation. With this Lorex wire-free security camera, you have a set of eyes at the ready all night long. With its infrared night vision capabilities, this camera can see through the darkness of night. Infrared LED's around the lens capture high-quality video at night up to 60ft away. This camera also features an automatic infrared cut filter that will automatically disengage at night. This ensures accurate color representation during the day and high-quality black and white infrared video through the night.
Long lasting lithium-ion battery
This camera relies on a long-lasting lithium-ion battery for power. To make sure you don't forget to charge the battery, we will alert you through the Lorex Cirrus app or recorder when the battery is low. Charging or replacing the battery is easy, as well. Simply remove the battery from the camera (the camera can stay where it's mounted), recharge it, and put it back again. You also have the option of locking down the battery pack, if needed.
Compatible with Solar Panel
Your wire-free security cameras can be used with our solar panel to power your camera and prolong the battery life. Fully Weatherproof, the solar panel can be affixed to the included panel mount using the existing camera screw holes or alongside in a completely separate location. Wherever you decide to place the solar panel, it's important to choose a location with plenty of direct sunlight and not in a covered or shaded area.
Safe for outdoor installations
This wire-free security camera is tested for outdoor use. It won't freeze in subzero temperatures and will not die in hot temperatures. The camera can operate in temperatures as low as -22 Degree F (-30 Degree C) and as high as 122 Degree F (50 Degree C). With an IP66 rating, this camera is fully weatherproof and can withstand rain, snow, and dust.

Smart home compatibility
Get fast access to you Wi-Fi camera with hands-free voice control. Use simple voice commands to activate camera features with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Use it with Chromecast or Firestick to monitor your security camera footage on a larger screen. For more information about current smart home integrations,
Save money on bandwidth and zero monthly fees
There are no hidden fees or monthly subscriptions with this wire-free security system. You won't need to upgrade your internet plan either. This is because the internet is not required to send video data to the cloud for storage. The only time you will need to use your internet bandwidth is if you need to access your security system remotely (i.e. live viewing or playback).

This app is full of convenient features that make monitoring your home easier than ever before.
