A good low-cost solution
I was originally going to give this camera 3 stars. As a wifi camera, it's essentially an also-ran: there are many others like it and this particular camera doesn't stand out.
My main problem is that you have to use Lorex's software to access the camera - and this includes setting up an account. There is currently no web interface or direct access to the camera's IP address.
It DOES work with Alexa, however it's not showing the proper aspect ratio on display devices.
But here's the thing: As a simple, low-cost security system, it works pretty well. You can add multiple cameras to the app and picture quality was pretty good. The one thing about this camera is that it stores audio/video data on a local microSD card that's included with the unit. I had the camera running for a few days while my family was out of town and it worked fantastically. I set up an alert zone and sensitivity and the camera alerted me when the phone rang (the answering machine light would flash). But the cat didn't trigger an alert since the zone was above floor level.
When motion was detected, I got alerts and could view them on the application's timeline. This was fantastic.
But there was a question: what if a thief noticed the camera and ran off with it - including the microSD recording everything? When I got home, I disconnected the camera and checked. The timeline video was gone since that appears to be saved to the microSD card, but the snapshots generated from detected motion remained. Not bad.
In short, the camera is rather unremarkable (although I liked the magnetic bottom), but the software really makes this setup worthwhile.

Ease of use and secure monitoring and affordable
Compact and light surveying camera with full range of functionalities to control.
It is simple to setup to connect to wifi through its mobile app, and place at any spot unless install at fixed location.
The package comes with necessary cables and accessories to install fixed location.
This process knowing where to place, the setting time takes less than 5 min.
From image perspective, it does give clear view either outdoor under daylight or indoor under the dark. For instance image in the dark, user can tell what is.

The other part of benefit of the camera consist of the mobile application with full range of functionalities. It has different view and if have more than a camera, it has capability to display all in one screen up to 9 divided screen.
Also, allow other user of mobile app add to it the camera and control. This is great for spouses or homeowners and out in different location.

Regarding sensors, it has sensor for person detection, sound detection, and two way talk. These works quite well. For instance for person and sound, it detect and recorded if it is setup the option the application, and it add into time lime or separate screen where by time of recording shows image and sound caught by the camera.
It functionality is large to describe, but to add to the above description, the function of timeline is a practical and straight forward to assess what was going on while away.
Shortcoming: access to it via desktop is not that straight as via mobile. It need to login to the Lorex account which is same as created for mobile app, and the site contains full range of product and company information, and among menu at the last place has menu for live view. Upon opening it, it shows variety of application that available for all Lorex product, and among them the option for cloud, and link to download web player, client and view now option,. However, attempting via Mac and installing all of the option, unable to view from desktop nor the View now via cloud.
In short, good hardware and software for mobile, without the need of cloud storage that comes attached for major brands like google or ring. Hope Lorex doesn�t change in this aspect. Recommendable for those who are planning new security package or replacing as its control and monitoring cannot be unified with other brands.

Great product. Image quality is perfect and as was expected. Analytics work well and are precice with almost no false alerts. Infrared works well indoors but not so well outdoors due to distance. However you can overcome this by just shutting night vision off. The camera detects just as well in normal mode at night as in the day. The application is extremely user friendly with plenty of options. Everything can be controlled remotely which is very handy, no base required which i love. Wish this camera would be rated for outdoors. If you try this out you wont be dissapointed.

Decent camera We are building

Decent camera
We are building a "He Shed" for my husband. Since it will have all of his tools and power tools in it, we wanted to make sure that we could keep an eye on it. This Lorex HD Wi-Fi Camera seemed to be the perfect thing for the job.
We have a Lorex home security camera system that we haven't been overly enamored with. Even so, we thought that this camera would be a good choice so that we wouldn't have to download another new app for another smart home product. This Lorex camera uses the Lorex Home app and our home security system uses the Lorex Cirrus app. So we wound up having to download another app anyways.
Once the app was downloaded, set up was super easy. The camera connected faster than any of my other smart home devices. The picture quality is passable but the picture and audio have about a 5 second delay. It isn't too bad compared to other cameras we have.
The camera has motion detection and person detection and will send notifications to you. You can set up a pretty intricate activation area. This camera also has 2-way communication and night vision. It comes with a 16GB memory card.

One issue that I do have with this camera is that there isn't a battery backup. If someone were to enter your premises when there was no power, the camera would not issue a warning or it could simply be unplugged to avoid being recorded.
Overall, I'd say that this is an ok camera. There are better choices with better recording quality but for the price, this is a pretty decent entry level camera.

Needs a better software. The software/app is not good. It records every little thing even with setting the sensitivity to low. It is not intuitive.
