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.

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.

Best product I've reviewed
This security camera has exceeded my expectations in all areas of both ease of use and performance. We live in a very rural setting with poor internet. We put the Lorex camera in my husband's shop, which is all metal and about 40 yards away from the house where the Wi-Fi modem is.
Out of the box (which was nicely packaged), the camera was extremely easy to install and comes with a variety of ways to mount it. It pivots easily on its base - we just stand it on a windowsill in the shop. The printed directions that came in the box were clear and concise - easy to follow.
The software (Lorex Home) was extremely easy to use, with step by step instructions for finding the device and setting it up.
Once set up (which took about 5 minutes), we put it in the shop and I went back to the house, not really expecting a connection. To our surprise, not only did it work, but the picture quality (1080p-HD) was amazing. The wide angle lens lets us see most of the shop which is 60'x100'. Sometimes, depending on the conditions, I'm not able to use the Live view which is not the fault of the system but rather our sketchy internet, yet even then it does record any movement or loud sounds.
A bonus is that I can use the microphone to tell him when dinner's ready without having to walk out there. That would be my only negative comment is that I wish I could increase the Microphone volume so he could hear it over his loud music. I was even able to talk over the microphone when I was 25 miles away (through extreme hills and valleys).
We had a recorded event at 4:14 a.m. and when we looked (I had turned off notifications) it was a bug walking across the camera lens. The night vision quality was very impressive since the shop was completely dark at that time.
Overall, the entire system is very well made and well thought out. We have an Arlo security system for outside and this system exceeds that in many ways - very impressive for the price point.

Great Camera with Features
This Lorex camera is a great Camera. From setup to functionality it is very good. After downloading the app and connecting your camera the setup is super easy. Then enjoy the features within the Lorex Home app and admire the great quality of the HD pictures and video. The camera has some pretty cool features too. The camera is both Alexa and Google Assistant compatible. Again connecting to Alexa was smooth and easy. The app works very well and the camera comes with micro SD storage which can be increased to 256GB. The camera has 2 way talk with a pretty decent speaker. With HD quality, night vision, and a person feature detection this camera is loaded with features. I found person detection to be cool. The camera comes with a wall mount plate as well. The sleek look of the camera is futuristic and can be mounted flat or in many other configurations pivoting off the pivoting stand. The camera view can be rotated 180 degrees by changes in the app. On and on it goes with features that prove Lorex left nothing out with this camera. A great camera loaded with features and quality images.

Nice security camera The Lorex

Nice security camera
The Lorex Indoor 1080p Wi-Fi Network Security Camera is a really good, inexpensive option if you need extra security on a budget. It produces a super clear picture with good color reproduction and detail. Low-light response is excellent.
The app has lots of functionality. It detects motion, as well as sound, and will record on motion, with notifications to your phone so you know when unwanted people are in the house. What I really like is that there are no monthly fees like with many competing products.
Great camera, great app, inexpensive. Check, check, check.
