Excellent picture! Super easy to set up!
The Lorex Indoor 1080 was incredibly easy to set up. It has an app that I was able to download to my iPhone and scan and get set up in minutes. The picture quality is absolutely amazing. Way better than anything I have with the popular outdoor smart cameras. What I like about this indoor camera is a few of the features that I have set up. First, I have it pointed at a door - and I have it set-up that I only get notifications and it will start to record when it detects a person. Second, I have set up my home area in the app and I only receive notifications when I am not home. I get a push notification when I enter or leave my "home area". I really wish we could set our outdoor cameras to do this! It let's you open up the app and manually record or take snapshots. You can also use this with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. I definitely recommend this indoor camera!

Great little WiFi camera
I�ve had this camera for almost 1 week. I have to say, I LOVE IT! It took about 5-7 mins to set the camera up and have it connected to my phone. The quality of the video is so nice during the day and even night as well. I like the fact that the camera provides audio. After looking back at some of the recordings I like the fact that you can zoom in closer to a person or object on the video. I think having the expandable SD card slot will come in handy especially while on vacation. Another nice feature is being able to communicate through the camera. I was able to talk to my daughter when she was caring for her bearded dragon to be sure she understood the feeding instructions. I did have to silence the notifications because my phone was going crazy from all the motion BUT that�s never a bad thing when you�re away from home and you want to be sure your house is safe. Overall, this camera is excellent for the price and I�d highly recommend it.

High quality, easy setup
It's a simple little thing to set up, physically. It's powered by a micro USB port and comes with an adapter and cable, so it's really easy to get power to it. I've even been able to use a usb battery pack for it. The base is magnetic! And it comes with a steel plate you can attach to any surface to give it a good mounting point, or you can stick it to your refrigerator, file cabinet, etc.
Besides the easy installation, I like the super wide angle lens. It covers my entire livingroom pretty well. I also like the picture quality, even in low light. The app is easy to use and does a great job marking activity for easy playback. It uses a micro SD card for onboard memory, so you don't have to sign up for a service to be able to scan your history. Of course, it does require an app and a Lorex login. I'm getting a bit fatigued by having so many different logins for so many different devices.
Overall, this is a solid device, does what it's supposed to do, and doesn't need a paid account to access your stuff.

Excellent choice for budget conscious security
The Lorex indoor Wi-Fi camera works so much better than its size and price point might suggest. This camera is also ridiculously easy to setup and use, even for those who struggle with newer technologies. Lorex went as far as preinstalling the 16 GB microSD card so it is literally a plug in and play setup. On top of that, the included power adapter has a 5-foot-long cord which I am very grateful for. My initial setup took me less than 10 minutes to complete including my one hiccup (more on that later). The Lorex app even holds your hand throughout the entire setup process making it next to impossible to make a mistake. This is the entire setup process:
1. Select a location for the camera
2. Plug in the power adapter
3. Download the free Lorex app and create an account (also free)
4. Add the camera to your account by scanning the QR code printed on the back of the camera using your phone�s camera
5. Add the camera to your Wi-Fi network
6. Use your new camera
The one hiccup I encountered setting up the camera was adding it to my Wi-Fi network. During the pairing process, you must keep your phone within a foot of the camera which I was unaware of. However, this was entirely my mistake because this is mentioned in the Quick Start Guide under Troubleshooting for people like me who don�t read the instructions until they have a problem. Since my initial setup, the camera has not given me a single issue.

There are too many positives for me to cover of all them so I�ll limit myself to the ones that impressed me the most.
- The combination of a wide-angle lens and 1080p resolution means you have a great field-of-view and you can actually tell what is going on
- The live view feature has incredibly low latency; there is only about a one second delay.
- The app connects to the camera quickly regardless of how your phone is connected to the internet. The time from opening the app to viewing a live feed is a matter of seconds. I did not experience any performance difference between being on the same Wi-Fi network as the camera, a completely different one, or even using my cell network.
- The push notifications for motion detection are delivered very quickly. My phone would go off within 10 seconds of walking through the camera�s field of view.
- The app is very intuitive to use and easily allows you to adjust any setting you desire. It will even keep track of any triggering event for you to review even if you have notifications turned off.
- You can schedule when you want to be notified of motion alerts. You can select a time window, or you can enable Geofencing so that notifications are turned on the moment you leave your house and turned off once you return. The only downside of this option is you have to allow the app access to your location at all times in order for this feature to work. I would have liked it if the time window option was adjustable based on the day of the week. Unfortunately, it is not but that is not an issue if you enable location-based alerts.

Very happy with this camera.

Very happy with this camera. It was easy to setup on the wifi using iPad app. The wide angle lens covers a broad area. I was going to mount it to the ceiling of my garage but the lights were overcoming the picture quality so I mounted it on the wall. One thing I learned that I wasn?t able to find info about: the camera starts to overwrite old dates when the memory card becomes about 80% full. (I was concerned that it night stop recording when full. )
