Reviews
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."

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."

Solar panel cord will not work with camera
"I love the camera but was very disappointed when the description said they were solar compatible. Then I bought your solar panels to plug into the camera and the connector on the solar panel is not the right plug for the camera. :("

Terrible Support!!!!
"Terrible camera - won’t connect to WiFi. Tech support says it’s a known issue. Now I’m stuck with a camera that doesn’t work, and Lorex won’t issue a refund. Stay away, customer support is abysmal."
