Good product
"Easy installation and set up. Video resolution is great. However, vehicle recognition software needs more work, too many false alerts that have nothing to do with vehicle motion."
Easy set-up, had the cameras
"Easy set-up, had the cameras working in less than two hours, excpet for running the cables, which takes a bit of time. Tricky turning the cameras at all angels as it takes some work turning at least two screws to get the "yaw" set. Very dissapointed that I ordered my syste, from Lorex and foundthat I missed out on the discounts Lorex offered for Father's Day."
I didnt expect 1080p not
"I didnt expect 1080p not to be able to pick up a license plate. . one of my cameras is alrdy busted."
The camera works exceptionally well.
"The camera works exceptionally well. Easy to setup and use. The video quality is also excellent."
System works great and was
"System works great and was a great value."
Let the buyer beware
"After I had previously bought two similar Lorex analogue systems that included remote controls for easy selection and switching among cameras and views, I expected this system to also include a remote and such features when I purchased it in February 2026. Upon finally installing the system last week, I discovered that it has NO remote and requires use of a wired mouse for such functions. Had I known this, I would NOT have paid $100 for this system much less the $400+ I did pay. Way to go Lorex. You just lost a repeat customer."
great DVR and cameras
"Great system. Love that I can have a DVR with working motion detection notifications, my previous system would just flash some stupid blinking light."
The Lorex system is easy
"The Lorex system is easy to install and easy programming, pictures are clear and colorful. the only problem is we still cannot install the Lorex App to view on 2 phones at the same time"
Installed and working as advertised.
"Installed and working as advertised. Quick delivery. Everything works perfectly right out of the box. 👍"
Once the wires were run
"Once the wires were run the installation was easy. The cameras have good clarity. The company was quick to help me return the cables I did not need."
