    I’ve used the bran Lorex for my home security cameras for years now. Recently saw this individual camera it’s absolutely great. Its 2k resolution camera can pan left, right , up , down and zooms in very well. It has 2 cameras , one is stationary the other one you can move it around completely on the Lorex app. Also has 2 way audio. Comes in handy when we leave our dog in the living room and we can keep an eye on him and he can hear us through the speakers. Its a great camera lives up to the Lorex name

    HD video w/low FPS, 360 coverage

    Since I already have a couple Lorex cameras and the Lorex Smart Home Security Center (LSHSC), I thought this 2K Dual Lens indoor PTZ camera would be a simple add-on. However, this camera isn’t compatible with that security system, so you won’t be able to manage or arm/disarm it from that control console. However, this camera works with Lorex’s “Fusion” products so could be integrated into that NVR system; it comes with a 32GB microSD pre-installed for local photo and video storage. This wireless camera has two hi-def 2K lenses: a fixed lens that can be manually tilted up or down by several degrees and a remote controlled Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) lens with 360° coverage. The memory card slot can be accessed when the camera is rotated fully upward and accepts up to 256GB. The field of view of the PTZ lens is also slightly wider than that of the fixed lens, so captures more area even when they’re pointed in the same direction. The colors in recorded video and images are well-saturated with good contrast (HDR enabled), but the framerate is low at 15fps making fast motion somewhat blurry. The camera needs to be plugged in and is powered via a 6 ft USB-C cable and USB wall adapter. I have the camera placed on a shelf, but you can also ceiling-mount the unit. Setup was simple in the mobile app but requires you to create or log in to an account. Once connected to my WiFi network, I could remotely view recorded footage as well as the live feeds. The app displays the two camera views as picture-in-picture or stacked. The PTZ camera angle can be changed on-the-fly, but the motor is audible as you adjust its position. The unit has built-in 2-way talk with the Lorex app via a call button and a customizable smart LED ring at the bottom. I wasn’t able to get Alexa to show me the live feeds from this camera on my Echo, though I can see them as devices in the Alexa app. The speaker on the back is decently loud and clear though the mic pickup tends to sound compressed and distorted in recordings. You can send “quick responses” through the speaker like the default “we will be right there” or record your own custom message in the app. The speaker and mic are also used for the audible deterrence siren/alarm and sound detection. With sound detection enabled, the camera can send you a notification and start a recording when a noise above the selected threshold is detected (50-90dB), like glass breaking or yelling. This can also optionally trigger a 360° pan of the room with the PTZ lens, but since the camera moves quite quickly and the fps is low, the footage is not very clear. I also thought the deterrence siren could be a little louder. Both cameras have their own motion detection settings, and AI recognition for people and animals are processed locally within the camera and available without a subscription. You can also customize the sensitivity and motion zones separately in order to reduce nuisance notifications. Auto-tracking using the PTZ lens follows people and keeps them in frame of the coverage area which works decently well. There’s also a night vision setting that turns on infrared (IR) lighting automatically in dark conditions, but there’s an audible ‘click’ when these lights are enabled/disabled and images will appear black and white. The night vision footage is bright, sharp, and detailed though motion is slightly grainier; also objects close to the lens tend to looked washed out. The RGB LED ring at the bottom can be set to always on, off, party, panic, or a custom schedule. You can choose from several pre-defined colors or from the color wheel and 5 brightness levels, though the dimmest setting still seems pretty bright, especially at night. Personally, I don’t know how useful it is to go into the Lorex app and enable panic mode for a flashing orange light in the event of an emergency or who’s idea of a party is to have rotating colors on their security camera. What might be useful, though, is the activation of the light ring when a person or animal are detected, if not as a deterrent then at least a reminder to folks that they’re on camera. You can shut off the cameras by enabling “privacy” mode which disables live view, recording, and app notifications. However, there isn’t a way to set active/inactive time periods on a schedule. By default the camera only records motion and sound events or when you manually start a recording from live view, however, you can opt for continuous local recording instead. Just note that this will shorten the life of the SD card and the length of your recording history unless used with a Fusion NVR. As for app notifications, you create a schedule when you want push notifications and whether or not to include thumbnails (up to 120 per camera per day). The camera is cloud-storage compatible, and you can purchase a single or multi-camera plan from Lorex on a month-to-month or annual basis in addition to saving footage locally, which is free. Cloud storage allows you to backup your video recordings for up to 30 days, unlimited thumbnail notifications, and access the uploaded recordings even when your device is offline. You can also share access to your recordings with other users and all recordings are encrypted so that they remain private. Overall, I like this security camera for its HD video and image quality and ease of use. Both lenses have a nice wide FOV plus the PTZ camera has full 360° range. I wish it were compatible with my existing Lorex security system (LSHSC), though it can be integrated into Fusion NVR systems.

    Lorex has been around for about 30 years and they hold the highest market shares for 4K security cameras. That in itself is already a testament to the longevity and quality of their products. So when I needed a WiFi camera to monitor my office while away, I gave Lorex a try with their 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Wi-Fi Security Camera which is offered at a very reasonable price. For starters, let's look at what you get: The camera, a power adapter and a couple of guides, as well as mounting hardware to have it upside down on a ceiling. I thought this opened a lot of possibilities and makes this camera really easy to install wherever you actually need it. Big thumbs up for that! After mounting it, I installed the app and started adjusting the settings to my liking. A quick note about the app: It's very, very well done, easy to navigate and use. Adding the camera was a breeze and doesn't require a dedicated hub. You can check the reels by date and time and pause detection with the push of a button, before it turns back on. I thought this to be an awesome thing, since I don't need the camera to go off every time I walk in or out of the room. Or if my Yorkie has the zoomies. And now, to the actual hardware. The cameras both are able to capture in 2K, which is more than enough at this point in time. During daytime you'll have full color, while night vision renders in black and white, which is also fairly common. The top camera can pan and tilt, which is great to cover more angles than a fixed camera. The camera is very responsive and the image is crystal clear. The bottom camera is the lonely guardian, keeping a keen CMOS sensor at a everything going on. I think that a 2 camera setup might be the best configuration to have, as you have much more control over what you can see and virtually eliminating dead spots. I have had this camera for a bit over a week and all I can say is that it is a great product so far. I haven't run into any problems and I feel much better knowing my office is secure when I'm not there. I even found my keys I had left on my desk using this camera. It's really a great buy if you want a room secured and as a bonus, you don't need a subscription or anything like that, just plop a MicroSD card in there and you're good to go. I really can't say much more other than that I would recommend this security camera. Two thumbs up!

    I saw the Lorex 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Wi-Fi Security Camera and thought it might help us keep an eye on our back door and the dog, at the same time. We set up multiple cameras to keep an eye on the doors and the dog while we’re out, but of course the dog decided that his favorite hangout spot was right behind the backdoor camera, which causes noise and wigs him out. Pros: - 2x 2K Camera’s in one device. - Easy and Secure setup. - Calling feature is convenient. - Smart Notification settings. Cons: - Speaker sound is not very clear. Setup: I was pleasantly surprised by how easy Lorex made the setup of their WiFi security cameras. Just download the mobile app, set up an account, then scan a QR code on the device to be walked through the setup and options. The processes took maybe 5 minutes total, and then I was off to adjust the settings. A 32GB SD Card is included and pre-installed, which is even better, incase you do not use the cloud storage solution. Lorex really is focused on security, as part of the setup they even require you to update your default password for the WiFi Camera. This is one of the easiest ways to prevent an IoT device from getting high jacked, but most people just don’t bother to update the password. Including it in the setup steps is a great way to help prevent future security incidents. Monitoring: It is easy to set up specific zones, easy and intuitive. Additionally, if you have multiple devices, it is easy to see all those devices at once, though it will depend on your connection speed how well streaming will work. We set up the camera so the fixed camera pointed at the back door and the pan-tilt camera could track the doggo as he wandered around the main floor. This was instantly better than the single pan-tilt camera, as I could see if 2 directions at once and easily jump between the two views. The other helpful feature was the sound detection, which also had a Sound Panning feature where when a sound above a set threshold is made, the camera will pan to the sound source. This worked well, though if the sound was made and the source moved after the triggering sound then it would miss the source, but for our purposes the dog rarely moved too fast for the camera to keep up. There is an ability to set the sound threshold that triggers the alert and track, from 50 dB to 90dB, which we found the 60 dB setting was enough to track the bell on our dog’s collar. The Camera quality is very good, both during the daytime and night. I was able to clearly see in the dark, to the point that I thought I had left the lights on when I first checked one night. Notifications: I had to set the notification schedule after the first day, as my phone blew up with all the motion past the camera. Lorex has a home and away setting for the account that uses your location settings to enable or disable the notifications which are super convenient, so instead of having to manually control the home and away modes, they will enable based on you leaving or enter a set distance from your home location. This is a bit of a concern for some, as you must share your home location and current location with the service, but the convenience is worth it in my opinion. Calling: The ability to Call from the camera is a convenient feature, as it can be useful for a visitor or say dog walker to get ahold of you. This came in handy very quickly, as one of our pet sitters because they had lost their phone a few days before, so they were easily able to get ahold of me to ask questions. But the biggest downside to the calling is the sound quality on the Camera Speaker is poor at best. The sound is like a bad drive through speaker, distorted and static filled. You can understand the receiver, but it does require little to no extra noise on the phone side for the camera caller to understand. The microphone on the camera is very clear, so you can hear everything on the phone just fine. Mindful Cloud Options: This is one of the first security cameras that had me update the default password as part of the setup. As mentioned before, this is one of the easiest steps to secure your IoT devices from hacking. Lorex also clearly outlines how it stores or processes photos and videos, giving the user options to exclude cloud storage during the step in the case there are privacy concerns. Honestly, this alone makes me interested in using more Lorex products, because more often than not how videos and photos are processed is not disclosed to the users. Additionally, the paid service for cloud storage is relatively cheap, only $3.99 per month for 1 device or 12.99 per month for unlimited devices in one location. If we decide to get more devices, I might consider the cloud storage but for now the local storage is more than enough. Conclusion: If you’re looking for an indoor security camera that can keep a fixed view and still pan around, then the Lorex 2k Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Wi-Fi Security Camera is a great choice. Especially, if you have pet that wonder around or can get into things, this is the ultimate eye at home. The calling feature can be convenient but doesn’t beat a phone call or text. I’ll be adding Lorex to my list of brands to check out when looking at security cameras going forward.

    LOREX - 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Security Camera is a remarkably feature-filled device with user friendly controls. The images are sharp, contrasty and easy to manage from my iPhone (it has a similar Android App). Although we have a very good outdoor system and a doorbell camera, the LOREX adds an entire set of unique features that are especially useful indoors. The dual camera setup provides simple tools to manage a broad indoor area with multiple spaces or points of entry and exit. One of these two cameras can Pan, Tilt, and Zoom to maintain visual contact with a pet, toddler or other individual, Tracking can cover 360 degrees. A pet can be deselected is desired. You need to view the camera in action in real time to appreciate how effective and useful this feature is. This alone justifies my high regard for this reasonably priced security camera. But, there is more. The camera has an auto night vision mode and resolution can be selected up to 2K. There is both animal and person detection. The camera is fully operational and provides a full time live view if desired because it is always powered using its USB-C 6’ cable and included power brick. And its memory card is ready to record, immediately. The camera has a privacy mode that swings the camera downward and stops recording. The camera has a CALL BUTTON which, when pushed, initiates a call on your phone. You are able to talk and listen at the camera location and at the phone. There is even ambient lighting as part of the camera body which can be fully controlled and automated in the settings. Recordings can be set using a very easy scheduler feature in the App. If you enable recording, it will used a pre-installed 32GB MicroSD to store still or recorded images. A larger card can be used. [But I’m waiting to hear back from LOREX on how to access it and where it’s located. I am successfully capturing images.] LOREX provides a Cloud Storage subscription for $2.99/mo but it isn’t required or necessary. LOREX provides a compatible, multi-camera storage NVR for more permanent image storage which you manage on your own, locally. Again, it’s not necessary and is a separate accessory available for purchase. The free, downloaded App controls the camera or other select camera systems from LOREX that you you might add later. PERFORMANCE: Images are sharp, clear and brightly lit. Video clips are easy to view with sufficient detail and contrast. They are also easy to manage. The entire process of setting up, using, modifying features is generally intuitive, but a real user manual should certainly be made available. I’m surprised that there isn’t already a comprehensive guide. There’s a lot here, even if it is fairly easy to sort out. The LOREX 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Security Camera is actually fun to use and has become an immediately useful security and monitoring tool. While one lens is fixed to where I set it, the other is effectively automated. It seems alive! It is easy to recommend.

    When I first saw the Lorex - 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Wi-Fi Security Camera, I honestly thought it was just another cheap and gimmicky “toy” webcam. I couldn’t have been more wrong. This security camera is truly amazing, especially when considering its affordable price. The Lorex comes with two cameras, the lower one uses a fixed lens and the top camera features a full 360 degree field of view. Both offer 2K (2560 × 1440 pixels) resolution. Images are crisp and contrasty, day or night. While the lower camera lens is “fixed”, it can be adjusted slightly up or down. In my opinion, the top camera is where this camera really shines and the Lorex smartphone app is well designed to control the lens movement and configure all its many options. The camera is controlled by a virtual joystick that can either be overlayed directly over the image or appear separately below the image when viewed in portrait mode. It can be a bit of a challenge to aim the camera precisely, but I found by tapping the directional arrows, it will nudge the camera in smaller increments. Better yet, the app even lets you position and save custom repeatable camera presets of your personal choice. The camera can even identify people or animals and track them, even in the dark, and it works remarkably well. I expected to hear a grinding sound when the camera pans and tilts, but it’s silent and stealthy. Lorex provides local storage of images and videos on a provided 32GB microSD card (expandable to 256GB), or one can subscribe to their affordable cloud storage option at just $3.99/month. If you are serious about using this as a security camera, I would think the cloud storage option would be advantageous since the videos would be available even if the camera is stolen or destroyed. I personally plan to use the camera for live surveillance of our dogs when we aren’t home. But wait…there’s more. The camera has a call button on the base that when pressed will call your smartphone as well as any shared user’s phone. This is a great safety feature to be able to call for help in the event of an emergency. Honestly, it would almost take a book to describe everything this camera is capable of but suffice it to say it is jam-packed with features and the quality is solid. It comes complete with a power cord and hardware to mount to a ceiling or shelf. This is an amazing camera that I can totally recommend as an indoor security camera.

    What A Great Security Camera

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am writing this review for the Lorex 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Security Camera. I have to start this review off by saying that this camera is a winner. From start to finish, it is the real deal. Let me explain why… I already had two Lorex outdoor cameras. They are now approaching about five years old. Because they are true outdoor cameras, and are left out in the weather year-round, they are of course beginning to show signs of wear. But they still function as well as they did when I first got them. In addition, I already have the Lorex app on my phone. As soon as I unpackaged the camera and had placed it where I wanted it, I began the setup process. I’ve said all that to say that I chose not to view the user manual/quick start guide because I wanted to see just how easy it was going to be to incorporate this camera to my existing setup. I opened up the app, clicked on the plus sign (+), and thus began one of the easiest setups I have ever gone through. From beginning to end, about the only involvement on my part was to enter my wi-fi password. In a matter of a few easy minutes, the Lorex Dual Lens Security Camera was up, running, and ready to go. The real test was whether it would work like it should, that is, would the app interface be good enough to easily operate the pan and tilt functions. It is. The interface offers a virtual joystick to move the camera in what ever direction you want. It really is a 360 degree panning camera, in that it allows you to see a complete 360 degrees. The tilt and pan operations are smooth, quick, and very quiet. The pan motion is not silent, but it is very quiet, whereas the tilt is almost completely silent. I know it depends a lot on the internet connection and wi-fi signal, but my response times, even away from home are almost instantaneous. Okay, so it moves great. What about the camera resolution? The Lorex Dual Lens is a 2K camera (1440p). Now, in all honesty, 2K is less than what many of us are used to viewing as far as other devices are concerned. At standard zoom, the Lorex images are quite sharp. However, once you begin to zoom in, the images do suffer some pixelation and blurriness. A part of me wanted to balk at the 2K, but then I realized that this is an INDOOR security camera, and the 2K resolution is more than good enough to offer clear images of people and pets. But don’t expect pristine clarity when zooming in on that unknown object sitting underneath the sofa. The Lorex comes with a 32GB micro SD card. The included literature did not say what the maximum size card you can use, but an online search stated you can use up to a 256GB micro SD card. The 32GB is okay seeing as it doesn’t record 24/7, but only on alerts. Lorex does offer cloud storage, but that comes with a subscription cost, whereas local storage is free, and in my opinion is more than sufficient. The one feature I was unable to find in the included literature is perhaps one of the greatest features of this device… the ability for someone at home to call you when you are away. With a simple push of the “phone” button located at the bottom of the camera, a person at home can contact you if they do not have your phone number. This may seem a bit baffling seeing as it is an indoor security camera, but if it is going to be used in a place of business, I can see how it might come in quite handy. Accessing and reviewing recorded events is quite easy using the “Timeline” function. A calendar appears, and there is a red dot for any day there is a recorded event. Like I said, it is quite easy to use, and the recorded images/videos are quite good. All in all this is a remarkably good indoor security camera. It tilts, pans, record, offers the ability to call, it has good resolution, and the downloadable app makes everything easy. It incorporated super easily with my other Lorex cameras. And like I said, it is super easy to use. If you are looking for an amazing and feature-rick indoor security camera with pan and tilt features, the Lorex 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Security Camera is the obvious choice. I will be recommending this to just about anyone who will listen.

    Responsive Security Camera with a great app

    This Lorex security camera with its dual lenses offer features that make it very unique and useful for any home’s security. I have been using Lorex’s single lens pan/tilt cameras for years and although they have motion following capabilities I have never used them because the motion would take the lens away from the primary area I was wanting to monitor. For example I have one that monitors my basement door but the camera would follow one of the kid’s motion and I could no longer monitor the door. With this dual camera model that isn’t a problem because the stationary lens still monitors the original area while the motion sensing lens tracks the motion. It really does the work of two cameras in a single unit. Pros: - Very responsive – images show up very quickly and reliably in mobile app - Dual Lenses that you can configure independently - Auto motion and sound tracking for people and animals - One lens is stationary while the other lens tracks motion. This allows you to continue monitoring the primary area as well as track a motion event - Very good image quality even when viewing in HD vs 2k - Dedicated local storage- 32gb micro SD included but camera supports up to a 256 gb card - One of the Best mobile apps I have used for Security Cameras Cons: - Not the easiest camera to hide in place – its easily noticed which may not be the best thing for a security camera - In Privacy mode only one of the lenses is physically covered - The camera has Smart Security Lighting which is a glowing ring that makes the camera really stand out. Luckily this can be turned off. While this camera has some great features it’s the Lorex mobile app that sets it apart from the competition. I have been using the Lorex app for several year and it is very responsive and the connection time from detection to seeing images in the app is consistently quick and reliable. With the app you can see both lens images at the same time and even at HD resolution the image is sharp and clear. The camera comes with a 32gb SD card so you can store video locally on the camera if you don’t want to pay for a Lorex cloud subscription. The SD slot is on the moveable lens next to the camera reset button and you can upgrade to a 256gb card if you like. The camera has Smart Security Lighting which is a LED ring around the base of the camera that is either on constantly or comes on when there is motion detected. Personally I don’t like my security cameras broadcasting its whereabouts but in the case of a nursery or someone monitoring the kids this light could be fun and engaging. The camera does have audio capabilities so you can listen as well as see remotely and you can also communicate through the camera by using the microphone in the mobile device. There is a call button on the camera so someone can initiate a call to the mobile device that has the Lorex app installed.

    Easy to set up, works with or without Lorex NVR

    I already have a Lorex 4K "Fusion" NVR so when I received the offer to review the Lorex 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Camera I was pretty excited to see how well it would work with my system. I've tried numerous indoor cameras in the last few years, some being more impressive than others, but ultimately the appeal of having the camera feeds in a single app is very appealing. #Unboxing and setup# The Lorex Dual Lens camera is a pretty simple affair. Since the camera is designed primarily to sit on a table/shelf it doesn't require any complex mounting arrangements. There is a simple plastic mount that can be used to mount it upside down on a ceiling or underside of a shelf if needed. The app allows you to choose the orientation during setup. Pairing the camera to the Lorex app was super easy. There's a QR code on the camera and you just scan it with the app and it walks you throught set up. If this is a standalone device for you, that's really where the setup ends. I also wanted to set the camera up with my Lorex Fusion NVR, and I was surprised to find that I couldn't do this from the mobile app. Once I used the TV interface for my NVR I was able to add the camera pretty easily. (the "Fusion" NVRs have the ability to add camera feeds from your local network rather than being limited to the POE ports/internal network coming from the NVR itself). You simply need to remember the password you set up for the camera during initial setup in the Lorex app. Keep in mind that the Dual Lens camera counts as two "channels" in your NVR if this is something you are considering. #Quality and usage# I'm really impressed with the quality of the Lorex Dual Lens - both cameras capture at 2K/1440p resolution and both cameras do a good job in low light conditions. Unlike an indoor camera I recently reviewed from another brand, the Lorex camera has no problem switching in and out of "night mode" in "cozy" (less than max brightness) indoor lighting conditions. The PTZ system allows the camera to track people in motion if you are setting it up in a place where you might want to track someone who enters through a door and has to walk across a room. It also has some AI capabilities baked in locally for object/person/animal recognition, which is very nice. No subscription is required for those features. There is a subscription offered for cloud storage of video. #Final thoughts# The Lorex 2K Dual Lens indoor camera is among the best standalone security cameras that I have used, and has the added benefit of being able to easily incorporate into a full Lorex NVR system if you have a compatible "Fusion" NVR. I'd recommend this camera to anyone with or without the NVR as I've had absolutely flawless performance from the Lorex app for several years. This isn't a security camera "startup" or someone trying to add security cameras to their pre-existing smarthome lineup. It's a company that does just this and does it very well. Two thumbs up.

    Sophisticated Camera that's easy to use

    I recently added the Lorex 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt WiFi camera to the Lorex system in my apartment. I've been pleased with the single stationary lens models but wanted to cover more territory. This model isn't what I would deem "compact" but it does a lot in a relatively small footprint. One camera is forward-facing and fixed. The other rotates, tilts and zooms. Rotating and tilting can be set to automatically track moving objects AND can be manually controlled via the app. Zooming is manual via the app as well. Camera resolution is very good in a good range of light levels (note that night vision is only Black & White) Storage is via Cloud (paid) and a local SD. You can choose settings for when it records, the resolution and duration. Motion detection is built-into the device and app. I love that it has "Person Detection"- preventing the camera from recording video OR prompting it to record and send notifications. Animal Detection is included, but I was not able to test the feature. Other great features include Motion Sensitivity and Tracking, as well as the ability to set Motion Zones. This feature allows you to select areas to ignore- thus reducing notifications and assuring privacy when needed. Other useful features include Privacy Mode (turn off live view, recording and notifications), volume control of both the speaker and microphone, video quality and a siren. The general Lorex app also allows setting of a geofence. I use that to turn-off recording when I'm home and automatically turn it on when I leave my building You can listen-in to your space remotely, there's a call button in case of emergency or as a convenience, and a speaker. I'm somewhat surprised that there's no battery, not even for back-up power. Exclusively for indoor use, the device is plug-in. For my purposes, it limits the usefulness and ability to hide the camera.

    I am satisfied with this purchase overall. I use the camera to keep track of the pets. Video quality is great at night. The dual camera is also useful, but the 360 view with tilt is my favorite feature. I opted to purchase this one after exploring all of my options. It was a great decision. No cons noticed.

    Just bought today and it's working great. Initial Setup had its challenges. Love having two cameras and the newer features. Will definitely get more to replace the other WiFi cams.

    This is a really nice camera. Portable and good quality video. Got it to keep an eye on the dogs when we're away.

    PanTilt Camera monitors the wall behind it ☹️

    W463AQ Series - 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Security Camera The Pan Tilt Camera keeps turning away from the room and stares at the wall behind it. Since there is no motion on the wall it stays there all day looking at the wall. I am familiar with the App and have tried all the settings and it keeps doing it. I called Lorex Tech Support and spent an hour on the phone with someone from India or Pakistan who was completely useless and just keeps repeating back to me what the issue is and was of no help. In the end their advice is to turn off the motion tracking which is the feature you buy this type of camera for. Ugggh! Apparently Lorex does not have this camera figured out. There needs to be a way to limit the field of view to just the area you want to monitor. If Lorex can assist I would appreciate it otherwise I will have to return the camera.

    This is really nice and you can add it to your NVR wirelessly for continous recording. No need for your internal storage after its added to your recorder.

    This camera does tracking and is perfect for indoors. I have people watch my kids and this keeps me fully informed. It does motion detection and tells you whether its a pet or person walking in front of it.
