No issues. Worth the money. Work well in all weather. Even installed one on a tree.

Would be helpful on how to use app if not experienced with electronics

Opening the box, I was excited to see how well this security system was going to perform. It includes the DVR unit with 8 available channels and a 2 TB hard drive, 4 cameras, HDMI cable, power adapter, 4 60’ camera cables and a mouse for maneuvering the setup screen. It is a complete kit and I didn’t need to buy or find any additional items to install the system. So, the first thing I did was set up the unit in my den with my 55” 4k tv. The manual states to connect everything and ensure it works before setting it up in its permanent spot. Once connected, everything was working great except the DVR fan is really loud. In fact, it’s so loud I thought it was defective. I went online and Googled Lorex loud fan and there were a lot of links and videos available. Apparently, this is a common problem with many of the models. Some recommend taking the housing off and others are trying different 40mm fans. Sorry to go on a bit with it, but it’s the only con I found and the reason for the 4 stars. It required me to pick a different location to install the DVR and that’s in a cabinet in the garage. I ended up running Cat 6e through the wall and into a 5-port switch just for the system. Okay, enough of that, now the good stuff. The software just works. I set it up when I first installed it in the den. Once it was connected in the garage, all I needed to do was log in. I also downloaded the Android app and it too works as I expected it to. You can view each camera independently in portrait or landscape mode and a quick swipe of the finger left or right takes you to the next camera. Once the DVR was connected to the tv I ran the camera cables down the garage to decide on their placement. If you have a partner, it makes this easier as they can watch the big screen while you’re up on the ladder. I used the phone app and a number of trips up and down the ladder to decide on the placement. The picture looks really good on the tv and phone. I have a two-car driveway and I’m able to see my truck on the far side as well as the walkway up to the door with one camera. My mailbox is across the street and 3 houses up. I can’t see it very well, but it is visible it the top left corner. I’ve had a few mailbox thefts and at least this would show the type of vehicle used. I live on a corner lot so one of the other cameras might get a better shot of the car as will my existing Arlo setup. Once all the cameras were positioned, then the hard part of drilling and fishing the cables through the attic began. Luckily when I remodeled some parts of the house, I have wall chases that don’t have obstructions in them, so I can just use a short fish to pull the cables to the DVR. I also have a long HDMI cable that I ran to the den 4K tv if I want to view it there. Otherwise the 1080P in the garage will do just fine. Now that it’s connected and up and running, I’m very pleased with the system. Again, my only complaint is the fan noise. I have a chest freezer and a refrigerator in the garage and this DVR is louder than either of them. I’m sure I’ll be looking for a fix in the near future. I’ll also be in the market for additional cameras. I’d like to get a dome cam to mount by the front door. It’s nice the DVR has 4 additional channels to allow for expansion. So that about sums it up for me. The software was easy to use, the instructions both part 1 for install and part 2 for the Android app were very informative and the system performs as well as I expected such a system to perform. If you can live with the loud noise or you are technically able to try and reduce it, I’d definitely recommend the Lorex line of security cams.

Excellent camera system. My old system the DVR was so noisy. The cameras are clear day & night vision.

Heard this was one of the best security camera systems - so purchased for Christmas gift for my husband.

I like the camera! I wait to use it and view away from home!

Excellent camera's and great value for the price. This camera set has some really good features.

The app isn’t the easier thing to use, especially for multiple people. Other then that, we love it.

Cameras are nice but the app needs a lot of work. Accessing clips or pretty much anything from your phone is wonky and difficult. It also says you can have the app on more than one device but kicks all devices off except one.

Picture is very good quality when in 4k not quite as good in other setting. 4k uses a lot more memory

The 4K resolution helps with zooming in. The app works well. Overall happy with this system

We like the camera system very much. My wife feels safer since the cameras were installed.

I didn’t recieve the audio cables with my camera system

Simple yet effective, very beautiful display and playback back, remote access amazing.

The only disadvantage It can not provide recording with 4K 15FPS.

Can’t remember what exactly what we paid for them but I wouldn’t recommend them if you are using ring at the door because they want work together you will have to use separate apps if that’s ok with you other than that they work pretty good

Good quality, great for the price, would recommend for startup security system.

It has some flaws in the image, but it is fine for its price.

Great system, I own 2 of them, one for home and one for my auto repair shop

Have not installed yet at our apartment building. Installing in the next week
