on August 30, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
The camera works great but I am having a problem with false alarms, mostly to do with landscape plants blowing in the wind. I have used the Motion Zones screen to block them out and I have also turned down the Motion Sensitivity to 1, but it doesn?t seem to help. Otherwise, i am very happy with this wireless camera. It fits my needs very nicely. I also have another wireless Lorex model in another area around our home that works great.

Overall very good product for the price.
-easy intuitive (camera \ Lorex Home app) setup.
-very nice camera settings. ex. 2way voice, deterrent night light, motion detection settings (vehicle \ person), intuitive zone selection. etc. - you can go very granular in the settings.
I would give this product 5/5 but..

Improvements that I would like to see:
-current model: USB power cable is permanently attached to the camera, - this creates an issue, for ex: if you need to RMA (warranty) the camera, and the cable is already nicely tucked under the siding\soffit etc. - this cable should detach from the camera, for easy swap.
-development life-cycle for the product, should pay more attention to QA (Quality Assurance) -- before releasing the product to production. both from software and hardware perspective.

There are cheaper cameras that have the same features this camera has and more but we found out the hard way you get what you pay for. The first camera we tried (differemt brand) cost about 1/2 of what this one does and looked good on paper, even had good video but the motion detection, connectivity and streaming performance, no matter what I tried, were horrendous. The features we had decided on are 1080p, motion detection, floodlight/siren deterrence, mobile viewing and notifications, two way voice, on board recording (no NVR required) and no cloud subscription required.
With all the options for motion detection on this camera, I've been able to get near perfect motion detection day and night so that we only get "person" notifications. Zero connectivity issues. Fast performance on notifications and streaming both live and playback. The app is nicely laid out and works well.
(Full disclosure, I set up a bridged wifi router inside very near where the camera is mounted but the other camera had problems even with an ethernet connection)
That said, I do have a short wish list:
Ability to download/share all videos, not just manually recorded videos
As mentioned by another reviewer, a better ceiling/desktop mount.
Ability to view on a computer.

Other than that, highly recommended for this price point in this category of camera.

Every thing about camera operation
on December 11, 2019

Every thing about camera operation better than old FX camera.No cloud. Sd card holds over 1 week of video. Motion detection is very good. The only thing i did not like is power line cannot be disconnected from camera.Power line has a plug 3/4 inch big plug which will require a hole in exterior wall at least 3/4 inch big. If you ever have to remove camera the plug is most likely inside house and you will have to fish wire and plug thru exterior hole in wall. Other than this i love camera. would of gave 5 stars if not for size of plug

I bought 2 of these cameras back in November, 1 is set up very far away form the modem and works excellent and the other that's close keeps dropping signal and needs to be reset often, but in terms of picture quality and sound it works good. Don't know if 1 camera is faulty or not.

on November 30, 2020

The camera was easy to install and setup. However, the large USB connector requiring a large hole to be drilled on the external brick wall was a challenge. My workaround was to cut the wire and re-splice the cable on the indoor side. It would be more convenient if an extra smaller connector assembly was provided to feed through a smaller hole.
