Amazing camera at an awesome price

I couldn?t ask for a better camera for the price. It was easy to set up and is super simple to use. Just what I needed to be able to keep an eye on the dogs while I?m at work!

Works well, wish it was also POE

Camera works well. It has an Ethernet port but it is for firmware updates only. Really wish this was POE as well as WiFi.

Nice little camera but not for Android users

I like the picture. I like the pan and tilt. The pan is nearly 360 degrees and the tilt is very generous also. Lots to like except Android cameras can't complete the wi-fi pairing process. On the Lorex Home app you scan the QR code on the camera and it recognizes the camera model. You hit the next button and it asks you wi-fi or ethernet connection. After you tell it which and it should show you available wi-fi networks for you to pick from. But on an Android phone you choose wi-fi or ethernet and you are DONE. No list of wi-fi networks. No nothing. The app hangs up right there and you are DONE. The 3rd customer service rep I talked to finally knew I needed an Apple phone. I had no problems when I used my wife's I-pad.

I bought two camera more than a year ago. They worked great till yesterday. Both failed to connect to my home WiFi network. One of them cannot connect during setup. I have to purchase a new one for replacement. Is this life span ( less than two years) expected?

I bought two of these cameras to monitor the inside of my house while I'm away. You simply won't find a better camera for this purpose. With the pan and tilt ability built in its simply awesome. The price makes it a good value also. The picture is really clear and the night vision works well. If there is any ambient light at all you can view the night vision in color, all be it I had to READ the instruction (imagine that) to find were in the settings to find the place to set it to color only. Connecting to the WIFI and mobile viewing set up easily. Can't go wrong with this one!

This Lorex pan and tilt is a very nice and affordable WiFi camera. Resolution is very good, and best of all it works with the Lorex Home App. It doesn?t have the deference features but the price reflects that.

Wow, this is one great little camera. I put four of them in my house and they are fantastic. Great picture, pan, tilt, zoom and the privacy feature is super. One issue is that they seem to only work correctly on a 2.4 GHz wireless network. On a 5 GHz network some features do not work like the sound. I ordered 4 more to give out as Christmas presents. I highly recommend this camera.

Excellent little camera, Works great to monitor my front walk in a inside window. I now have 4 of these, and gave one to a friend. I notice that some people walking by point to the fact that the camera follows them!

I tried a few other similar type units costing mush more and returned them because they were lousy.......then I saw this Lorex camera at a price I couldn't believe....got it and installed and it works great......One thing is the speaker is weak.....they should have an audio jack port or something to add another speaker that has louder volume comtrol BUT I am a happy camper!

Nice camera for the price. Good optics and features. The only downside so far is that there are two advance PTZ features that are on my NVR software that this camera does not support. Patterns and Autoscan are not supported with this camera. Works great with the rest of the NVR PTZ features and the Lorex Home App on my iPhone works great with this camera. The Auto Follow feature is great on the Lorex Home App.

I live in the hills and my nearest neighbor is about 1 acre away. So naturally, I wanted to use a system that I can point outdoors and monitor the front door. Already, I got an alert at 11:30 pm telling me that it detected somebody upfront. I didn't have the night vision on (because I am still experimenting with the lights outside) and shows a man coming up, taking a photo of my front door, and then leaving. Turns out it was just a late delivery driver. (I didn't see the dark black bag in his right hand.) But it freaked me out and I wouldn't have known if I didn't have the camera system on. It detected a person, recorded it, stored it, and I was able to check the timeline to see when he stopped by. I am able to see who comes and goes and if anybody drops off packages or mail. My fav feature is being able to set the motion detection zones. I am able to not have the camera detect movement from the many trees on my property and just focus on the movement I set. Secondly, I like how you can ask it to detect people with the "Person Detection" toggle in the app. I can use the speaker "button" on the app to talk to the person in front of the cam. Before installing it up front, I experimented in the living room for a few days. The light and color look great and things look so clear using the night vision. The camera can be panned to most any angle which is a plus when trying to see different things in the room or area. The camera is farther away from my WiFi router than I'd like but so far I have not had any connectivity issues. Wish the app didn't log me out of my phone if I log-in on my tablet.

Good cameras, phone and tablet app works well, but no PC-based program (evidently, L-View is not compatible for some reason). The cameras function well in all light conditions. Pan and tilt are convenient (for me) in re-centering the cameras.
