Customer Ratings & Reviews

The camera has excellent video quality and night time clarity. Setup is a breeze but you must create and register for Lorex account. The camera ships with a pre installed 16gb Micro SD card, which is nice to get started. WiFi connection is pretty strong with google home link up very quick, but to date unable to get Alexa to find the camera. I dislike that mounting via the camera magnetic base involves screwing into your Location surfaces to mount the metal plate. The lorex software app is basic and designed for small screens like your phone but not for larger screens like iPads, etc...

This camera has all the same functionality as a Nest cam and it also has a memory card in it so you don’t have to pay for a service. The picture is very clear, notifications are easy and you can set it up for human detection, again, something you have to pay for with nest. App is very easy to use and for the money, this is by far the best option.

You can never be too safe and the security camera works great, has a great wide angle view without the overly excessive wide angle camera distortion, and it is super easy to set up. I have mine set up in the basement to view the back door but I hope to never get a notification on my phone that a person has been detected. It does work though. When testing, I got a notification of movement, I popped right into the Lorex app and saw it was just me thankfully. The resolution is great too. If you have more than 1 you can set it up to see all of them at one time. You can also set motion zones and sensitivity so you aren’t setting it off all the time and you can turn notifications off if you’re in the area so you don’t continually get notifications about you being in the area. I love that it provides all those features without needing a subscription. All the recording is right to the included micro SD card and runs off your WiFi for notifications. Also comes with mounting stuff but I just have mine on it’s base and it feels stable. Overall Great camera, simple to use, the app is easy to use, and I have some extra peace knowing I have an extra eye out at all times.

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.

This Lorex camera was a breeze to install and configure. It literally took me less than 5 minutes to download the app to my Android phone, create an account, and get connected. I have it installed in my garage, and mounting it to the wall was also very easy. The magnetic mount made it easy, I just screwed the provided metal plate to the wall and the camera sticks to it magnetically quite well. The app is easy to use and gives you good control over the settings. The require permissions are no more than what is reasonably required to make it all work. The app reviews on the Google Play store are outdated or uninformed, do not rely on those to make your decision. Image quality is nice and sharp, and the frame rate is good and lag is minimal. Overall a very nice IP camera at a nice price.

Unfortunately, I had to stop using this camera because it stopped functioning.

The Lorex Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera is a small, simple, and very good-looking security camera, and has an amazing number of features. Set-up is very simple and quick, I downloaded the Lorex app to my cell phone and a tablet, plugged in the Lorex security camera, pressed the + icon in the Lorex app, and it literally took a couple of seconds and we had video. Video resolution is remarkable. Once I had the Lorex Indoor Security Camera set-up, I placed the camera on our inside front window ledge, facing our walkway to the front door, our carport, and part of the street out front. With the camera, sitting on the window ledge, monitoring through the window and the window screen, the camera was extremely sensitive to movement and the video was amazingly clear. Our front window is not in the direct sun light, the image lighting remains stable, and the temperature will not approach the max camera temperature. The Lorex Security Camera is motion activated and will send a notification to your cell phone or tablet when it activates. You can open the app at any time and start monitoring live video and recording that video. When the Lorex Security Camera activates, to a motion, it will store a video of the action for a period and when there is no activity for a set amount of time the camera will turn off. There are many adjustments that can be made, in the app, for tweaking to your personal needs/situations. The camera has sensitivity settings from 1-6, on 3 the camera was picking up every car that past in front of our home and was sending a notification to my phone. I had to turn the sensitivity down to 2 and this stopped the Lorex Security Camera from turning on every time a car passed by. With this setting our coverage was from our front door to the sidewalk out by the street. The full monitoring area is very big, you can adjust this very easy by entering into the set up and using your finger to highlight the grid area you prefer to have coverage and saving it, very nice feature. The two-way audio is surprisingly clear and a nice feature. For the price point this is a remarkable Security Camera with a lot of versatility.

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.

This is my second time purchasing this item and it still won't connect. I will be returning and not attempting to make another one work.

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.

Didnt like Had a hard time hooking up to S10 and 400 mgz

So I just recently got a lab puppy and I love this camera! I can keep an eye on my puppy while I’m at work! It’s very easy to use and set up. The app interface is very user friendly! The video quality it great!!

I basically use this camera to spy on my dog. After downloading the app, setup is quick and easy. From my phone, I can now see what my pup is doing and also talk to her through the built-in microphone. MicroSD card is included. Highly recommend.

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!

This is a very handy little camera. Can be used in different rooms, or mounted. Great for use for added security. Pretty easy to set up and install. No complaints.

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.
