Customer Ratings & Reviews

Being my first surveillance system, I wasn't sure how hard it would be to set one up. I am a technical person and while I have never completed a wiring run or run wires through walls, I can say this is the hardest part about the setup. Once you get through this step, the rest of the setup is easy. I have done much research and through my research, I have always found experts and in general, people who own a camera system, say it is better to have a wired system vs wireless. While I will not talk about all the benefits, a few are not worrying about batteries, wireless security, and it affecting your network performance. After running the cables to the Lorex DVR, their setup was very easy and simple. Although a few of their menus to navigate around the different settings looks complicated (they have lots of features), they take you step by step to configure your cameras the way you would like. Out of all the features my favorites are being able to select which areas of the camera you would like for the camera to ignore motion and for the cameras to actually be a deterrent system. For example, if you setup a camera for your front door to record when there is motion, you can set it to ignore any motion from cars passing by (a very nice addition). Using that same example, you can also setup that at certain times of day when it detects motion to sound a siren or give a warning message. This is great! In each camera the kit comes with has a small speaker that is able to do this. Being a 4k surveillance system the picture is fantastic. The cameras are rated for 30 feet of night vision and I can certainly say they can reach that while still having clear picture. After 30 feet, it starts to get grainy but depending on how you setup your cameras another camera can compensate for that area. Overall, I can definitely recommend this system to anyone looking to setup a surveillance system for the first time or if you already have one. Setup is easy, picture is great, and can even deter a thief with a siren if it ever comes to it!

Setup was easy to follow instructions. Cameras came with long 100 ft cables which made it easy to place through attic. Video is crystal clear and zoom is awesome. Price was reasonable if not cheaper than other systems. I get alerts direct to my phone when there is something on camera after I set it up for zoning for motion. Works great and have not had a problem.

If you are looking for a good quality camera system here is it. Everything you need, good length on wires from camera to dvr, easy hook up, watch from your device while you’re gone, motion sensor, alarm sound and led flash, multiple ways to record. Night vision better than expected, just an all around good quality system.

So far these cameras have not disappointed. Very clear images, captures all movement.

One channel of the DVR has stopped working. I've only used 4 of the 8 channels, so thats a 25% fail rate. Everything is plastic, including the mounting brackets. Cameras could be easily pulled off the wall. The DVR could be 1/4 the size. It comes with a mouse, but it's a toy. The software is okay, but the motion detection is limited to fairly large areas. One great feature is the ability to record on any or all cameras when motion is detected on any other camera. I would not buy this again. I would spend more and get a quality, metal-construction camera system.

Cameras are crisp in picture and picks up movement well

We bought this system for home use. The motion detector works really well! It's also very convenient to have notifications sent to my phone. The only downfall is that notifications can only be sent to one phone.

Is ok lorex 4K I like motion sensor Love love love love

First off, the set up is just plug-n-play, straight forward from the digital sense. The app is very interactive, the motion sensors from the cameras give a notification every time there is motion, but will not sound the alarm. You have to do it manually, which I feel defeats the purpose of having an alarm if you have to set it off yourself. Secondly, from a physical standpoint, the set up is dependant on your house and where you plan on putting them. I had to buy longer wires to accommodate the distance between opposite sides of my house. Outside of that, there were many obstacles that dealt with mounting the wires throughout my attic and garage. Definitely not a one-man job. So to call it an 'easy' set up is subjective. Lastly, I'm overall impressed by the quality of the video and durability of the cameras themselves. The user interface could have been better. I would have liked a remote instead of a wired mouse to interact. I am happy I invested in a security system such as this.
