Reviews
Poor quality
"These cameras are very poor quality. They will not connect to the internet outside my house, however they will connect if directly next to the router. Afterwards, when placed in my home they lose internet connection. However, the siren and light do function even after broken connection. I will have to replace. I bought Lorex cameras for outside my house from Costco, and they work wonderfully. Read reviews carefully before purchase!"

This camera is misleading. I
"This camera is misleading. I got it to detect vehicles, which it says it can do. However, it has to be connected to continuous power to do so. I also got the solar panel that is compatible with it, to supply continuous power, but that still doesn't enable the vehicle detect ability. So if you need a remote camera with solar power to detect vehicles on your property, buy someone else's."

I would rate it 5
"I would rate it 5 stars. My only rebuttal to it not being 5 stars, is that I ASSUMED the price included a memory card. IT DID NOT. Upon checking the ad it confirmed that you have to purchase one. YOUR SUPPORT STAF IS AWESOME. I purchased a lot of your products because of my ability to contact a "live" rep."

Outstanding cameras! We purchased 3
"Outstanding cameras! We purchased 3 for our property, and they are effective! Will buy additional cameras in the future from Lorex. Fast shipping and great packaging as well as fair prices."

Great image, but doesn't always record events
"The image quality is good and the build quality feels sturdy. The "event recording" leaves allot to be desired. I constantly get notifications, I can see the thumbnail, but when I go to view the recording, it says "no recording". I have tried multiple different sized memory cards, and tried formatting them as well, but no help."

Cannot set up on battery
"Cannot set up on battery to alert for vehicles. This is important for our security and we are disappointed in the camera."

Battery life is limited to
"Battery life is limited to a few days. Doesn't come with a micro sd card. I cant get the camera to clearly focus or "spotlight" what I want to have a focus on. And I didn't double check to make sure it is compatible with my fusion recorder. So partly my fault for not calling to ask more questions before purchasing."

Think twice and avoid buying
"I have several Lorex cameras and this one just doesn’t match up to my other cameras. Battery life is horrible and I’ve now purchased 2, one as a back up. 2-3 days max and still having recoding issues. I purchases cloud storage too! Total waste of money. I’ve called tech support and no change. The video is ok. I added a solar panel and still didn’t get the quality I was looking for. Lorex can certainly do better and I wish I could obtain a refund!"

Pain to get them linked with DVR system
"Bought two of these to go with the "compatible 8 camera DVR system". Got them installed on our shop at the back of our acre property, but not able to get them to connect view through the monitor with the other 8 cameras. There are not very good instructions or support to get these working properly. Have tried a new wifi router and a wifi booster and still not able to get them to reach far enough to be viewed on the monitor in our house."
