The picture quality is great

The picture quality is great and ease of installation. The app is very user friendly, but will not listen when in home mode. Keeps sending through every movement no matter what we try and do.

Great Product

Great picture, mounted 120ft away from my WiFi router and provides a good smooth video, installation was easy, comes with roughly a 20ft usb power cord which made for mounting close to power less of a concern.

Downloading clips from timeline doesn't work

Downloading clips from timeline doesn't work. . . ever. This is a must-have feature for me. Tried everything I could possibly think of. All signs point to poorly-coded app. I would give negative stairs if I could. I bought another camera as well, drilled holes through my siding. . . all for nothing.

Powerful camera!

Purchased this camera one year ago and it has been working great outside. Just a few times it may go offline, but I usually just unplug it and turn it back on and it works great!

I don't recomand it.

This camera running very hot since I install at June, 2024. The camera stop working every other week. I have to cycle the power to it every week. I called technical support so many times and they told me the same thing as"to remove it from the system and reinstall it again". But it did not fixed the problem. I hope they can take it back fixed the problem.

Camera

Its a great little camera. It would be nice if they made them to access laptops instead of phones. My phone doesn't have a lot of memory, and to purchase the converter to access my laptop is another $200 which is unaffordable for me, I'm on Social Security.

Serious ongoing firmware issues with these cameras

Serious programming (firmware) issues with these cameras. Lorex pro here. I installed an 8 camera (smiley face) Fusion Wifi system with NVR for good clients. We have experienced 8 months of problems with the cameras dropping off of the NVR and not reconnecting. Testing the cameras off the NVR, the cameras still drop off the network and do not reconnect. I have updated the firmware on both the cameras and the NVR I have created network reservations and lowered network security to Wpa2. I only have this issue with the smiley face cameras, the old wifi cameras I install do not do this (Lorex programming is quirky but functional in older systems). I have spent hours on the phone with Lorex techs, and hours back and forth to the property troubleshooting. Lorex refuses to admit that this is a bad programming problem. With repeated firmware updates that do not work, it is time to hire competent programming staff. 8 months and counting. I am a professional IT expert and security system seller and installer, residential and commercial.

Excellent product and support

So far the system is working great. I get notices when someone is in my barn or by my garage just as I want. I am not very tech so really have appreciated the support department as they walked me through some set up issues. The manual that comes with it could be more explicit for people like me.

These cameras should not be on the market

This camera is very poor and unstable quality. I have to reset it every week for lost connection. It unable to see the object when environment is dark. Do not waste your time and money.

Save your money

Camera works great. . . . . when it works. I am constantly having to drag my ladder out to climb the 2 stories to hit the reset button on this thing because it stops working. Usually once every 2 weeks I have to do this for it to work again. All of my other cameras (4 other wireless Lorex) work flawlessly so it's something internal with this particular one that keeps malfunctioning and for the price it is unacceptable. It is not my network as others are further away and no issues. Firmware also up to date.

Lorex used to be top of the line

Lorex cameras used to be top of the line, but now they are no longer at the top. Lorex needs to update their systems with more features and capabilities. Because they haven't upgraded their functionality, a $20 to $50 camera has way more capabilities and their setup is much easier and faster than Lorex. I purchased Lorex because of their high quality name but like I said their systems and capabilities are outdated and cheaper systems do way more things for less. Also My customer service experience was not very good and problems I had couldn't be solved because the agents trying to help are not well trained or are not trained and they are just reading a script to you, the same one that you have access to. I would steer clear of this expensive name brand and purchase a less branded name which could have the same quality or better with many more functions to customize your system the way you want it.

Bad tech support lousy instructions

Tech help. Can't hardly understand them. Some of them don't know what they are doing. I had to figure out some of the problems myself. The setup instructions are not complete. The setup instructions for adding cameras on the vdr are not very good. I have decided to use another brand for my interior security system.

Please Update ALL of Your Instructions

Lorex needs to do a major overhaul of instructional videos/written instructions. Took me a while to find the RIGHT directions, as everything else is outdated. Other than that, camera works good.
