- Accuracy of Person, Vehicle, package, and Animal Detection will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the object's distance from the camera, the size of the object, and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also impact the accuracy of detection.
- Color nighttime video typically switches to black & white IR night vision when there is not sufficient ambient light to ensure optimal low-light image quality.
- Stated IR illumination range is based on ideal conditions in typical outdoor nighttime ambient lighting (up to 32 ft or 10 m in total darkness). Actual range and image clarity depends on installation location, viewing area and light reflection/absorption.

Reviews
After a couple of weeks
"After a couple of weeks I found the camera is reliable using 5Ghz wifi. I don't have a wifi6 capable router. Router is three walls and 20 feet away. Settings are easy to adjust. I have a 150 down and up internet plan so remote viewing is quick. A good alternative to buying an NVR or cloud storage is the onboard sim card."
16 Lorex Cameras doing fine
"I have been buying Lorex equipment for a while now and have spent a bunch of money on Wi-Fi cameras. By now I wish I had gone with PoE cameras but although complete systems were not expensive, I was put off by the idea of paying to have Ethernet cable installed, which I did anyway for my home LAN. In any event I currently have a total of 15 cameras and 1 video doorbell. These are composed of: 1 LOREX 2K VIDEO DOORBELL B451AJ-Z 8 LOREX 4K 180° CAMERA W891UAD 5 LOREX 2K CAMERA W461ASC 2 LOREX 4K CAMERA W881AAD I have ordered two more LOREX 4K CAMERA W881AAD to replace two LOREX 2K CAMERA W461ASC. The change is not due to picture quality but to move move devices to 5g on Wi-Fi and reduce strain on 2g. You can imagine that I am satisfied with the overall performance of these cameras. I have had 1 of the 180 degree prematurely die but other than that I have not had major issues."
I think I would have
"I think I would have been better off ordering a system from Temu. And after an average 1 hour on hold when calling Lorex tech support, finally get someone that doesn't know how to resolve my issue. I've had this system for 3 weeks and still have not got one camera view to show up on the monitor. I want to return it all of the equipment at this point."
Great product, but technical support
"Great product, but technical support and warranty communication not so good. Hard to get a representative that you can understand. Have purchased several systems with the same results."
Clear picture, great connection.
"Clear picture, great connection."
I can't turn off the
"I can't turn off the lights! Night time recorded videos are bland in the camera color. Not nice! Terrible"
If I would have known
"If I would have known about the possible connection to the Chinese government through the use of Dahau components I would have not purchased from Lorex."
Does not maintain a zoom.
"Does not maintain a zoom. If you're trying to do the infrared for nighttime vision, there can be no other light in the area even one of the other cameras. They do not work as well as the zosi cameras I had for years."
Great camera but i wish
"Great camera but i wish the mount would be able to go to 90 degrees. The mounting options are limited. Otherwise, easy to setup. Resolution very good."
Limited mounting options, slow live view
"Unlike other Lorex cameras, this one comes online with only the usual Lorex Classic app aggravation. Because the cable cannot be unplugged from the device, it is necessary to make a hole in your house big enough to pass a USB-A connector. Limited base motion limits physical installation options. For example, you cannot mount the base to a ledge and aim the camera down. Cable length is very generous, which spared me using an extension cord for AC power. As will all Lorex cameras, live view is extremely slow to load, if it loads at all ("Something went wrong" after several minutes)."
Q&A
- What are the specs (amps,watts, volts etc) for your power cable and plug? Can the power cable be passed through stucco exterior into a garage interior to an outlet? Is the cable length 9ft or 19.5ft? What is the diameter of the power cable?
- The power cable is 12 VDC, 0.55 A, max 6.6 W, with a length of 9.8 ft. It can be routed through an exterior wall into a garage outlet if installed properly.
- Is this still compatible with Lorex Cloud storage?
- Yes, this camera is compatible with Lorex cloud storage.
- I know the camera will connect to the app, but Will this camera connect to my lorex home center?
- No, Lorex Home Center is not compatible with the W881 camera.
- Do these cameras have to be powered with a cord or are they battery operated
- They have to be powered by a cable, they are not battery-operated cameras.
- Is there a way I can view my Lorex camera live on my tv
- The only way to get the camera signal through a TV is to pair it with a compatible Fusion recorder that supports a connected monitor for local access.
