Customer Ratings & Reviews

We recently had my husband install the Lorex 2K Floodlight Wi-Fi Security Camera outside our rural home, and it’s been a game-changer for our peace of mind. Living out in the country means parts of our property are pretty dark at night, so having a reliable light + camera combo was exactly what we needed. First off — the floodlight! When motion triggers the camera, the light is bright and powerful. It really illuminates the area (enough to make shadows disappear), which helps not only with surveillance but also scares off any potential trespassers or wildlife creeping around. The 2K video quality is crisp, and even when the light is on, I can clearly see faces and details. I also really like the pan feature: you can control the camera’s horizontal movement right from the app, which means you don’t have to rely on just a fixed view. My husband and I can slide the camera side to side on our phone to check different sections of the yard, so nothing stays hidden in the dark corners. Setting it up was more manageable than we expected. He mounted it on the exterior wall, connected it via Wi-Fi, and then used the Lorex app to fine-tune motion zones. The app’s interface is pretty user-friendly — I’m not super technical, but I was able to check motion alerts, live view, and flashlight logs without a ton of hassle. One thing I really appreciate: the floodlight feels like a real physical deterrent. It’s not just a little LED. And because it’s wired, we don’t have to worry about battery life, which is something we were worried about with other wireless cameras. In day-to-day use, being able to see what’s happening outside — especially after dark — has given both of us a lot more confidence in our security. If you live somewhere rural (or just want a camera with serious lighting power), this Lorex floodlight camera is totally worth considering. Highly recommend it.

Let's be honest. This is a complicated world we live it and security cameras are a must have to protect ourselves and our families. The Lorex 2K Floodlight Wi-Fi Security Camera is my second Lorex camera. But with 2K video it has much better quality than my previous Lorex camera. There are so many features to love. Once you get it set up, you can pan the camera to the specific area you want to monitor using the app. And it is amazing at tracking moving object within its view. I also like brightness of the 1500 lumen, 6 LED light. You can set it to come on when it detects motion, or set it with a schedule, or you turn it on manually...all within the app. 2-way audio is another nice feature. It won't win any awards for audiophile quality, but it's plenty good enough for conveying your message, or telling intruders to scram. But probably my favorite feature of the Lorex 2K Floodlight Wi-Fi Security Camera is that there is no subscription fee! Yes, Lorex offers a subscription service that includes, among other things cloud storage, but you can keep your recordings using microSD card, so no worries. The Lorex 2K Floodlight Wi-Fi Security Camera does it all. I've been so impressed by the 2K Floodlight Wi-Fi Security Camera I plan to buy additional cameras to cover my whole house.

OK, where to start? First off, excellent camera, powerful spotlight, decent looking, does not require hard power... But the software is... Well, quirky. In their defense, this is a completely new platform with new hardware and firmware. Here is my experience: Mounting? Simple. Wiring? Not required, it uses a standard 110 outlet.Out of the box and ready to go? Maybe 10 mintes. So far, so good. Here is where it gets odd... The software. I am used to motion sensing camera's that are out of the box, ready to sense motion, and is a spotlight, turn the spotlight on. First problem? It did not detect motion. At all. As such, no spotlight was turned on. I checked the MIcroSD card (not included), and sure enough, no video, but it did detect and record audio. Being the grizzled old techie vet I am I dug right in and started troubleshooting. First and foremost, I went into settings and adjusted every detection setting I could. Nothing. Next I deleted the app, reset the camera and re-uploaded latest firmware. Still nothing. After several iterations, I got it to detect motion AND turn on the light, but... The light would stay on for the alloted 10 seconds I had it set for, but then the light would turn off for 1 second, and then come on again for the 10 second. Lather, rinse, repeat... Went into settings again, and I got it to stop doing that, but on so doing, it stopped detecting motion. FortunatelyTIN directed me to straight to Tier II Tech Support. Working with Sally for aproximately 40 minutes and after adjusting multiple, multiple settings, it operated as expected. Once that was done, it operated as expected. So back to where I started, greeat hardware, but in my case, quirky software. I am sure this was a one-off issue soecific to my camera, but it did taint the experience. End of the day, a 5 star camera with 3 star, one-off experience.

I recently changed the color temp of my outdoor lights from daylight to a slightly warmer light, and my current Wi-Fi floodlight cam wasn't looking right. That's why I decided to try this blended floodlight camera from Lorex. It has the color temp I needed and equally crisp 2k video so decided to try it out. Upon unboxing, I realized this unit isn't hardwired which is usually good, but in my case, I'm replacing one that is. Mounting posed a bit of a challenge since I had to cut out a cap for the junction box where the camera was going to go. Once mounted, the supplied adapter cord was long enough for me to plug it in a garage outlet; just make sure you leave a little extra cable for the swivel action. Setting up the Wi-Fi connection was easy and quick; connecting was tedious. Every time I tried to connect, it had an intermittent signal, then I realized that although the unit was connected to the 2.4ghz band and most connections work when I try to access thru my 2.4/5ghz mesh network, this one required me to use the same network it was connected to. Problem solved, all the features now work and I was able to program the light settings, motion detect zones, and notifications. A really cool feature that my other cam didn't have was the motorized pan control; it rotates on the X axis keeping the subject in view while it's in the motion zone. It's also manually accessible thru the app, together with a few other settings like siren and light intensity. The camera has great field of view and a very good quality which allows you to see in color even in low light. I think it was worth the extra hassle of mounting for the added functionality of this floodlight with built-in camera. The motorized swivel alone is reason enough, couple that with high output lighting and 2k video, it's a no-brainer!

I want to start by saying I am a fan of Lorex and their camera systems, however, this Lorex Floodlight camera, not so much. First of all I have a Lorex 4 camera system that I still continue to use. I had the Lorex CLASSIC App installed on all our devices and once I got this camera charged up and put up the mount in the location I wanted it, I opened the App and began “trying” to pair my device w/ the floodlight. Each and every time it would not pair. I then realized that I needed to download Lorex CONNECT App. This is a game changer for me and not a good one. Why not just allow to pair in the CLASSIC App and not have to have 2 separate Apps to monitor the same companies camera? If that were the end of the story it wouldn’t be that bad, however, the CONNECT App would not work time after time after time. It will allow me to get to the step to choose a Wi-fi network and it would not allow me to connect, I have no clue why. I turned off the device (two separate devices) I finally unplugged the power to the floodlight and plugged it back in and it connected FINALLY! Again, if that were the end of it, I would have been okay, but the settings on this camera are “funky” to say the least. The light is very bright, the siren is ehh, and the cord is just not long enough. Very disappointed in this Lorex camera, and I had HIGH hopes for this. Sadly, I will have to keep looking as I would not recommend this one.

Lorex's 2K floodlight camera delivers an impressive set of features and functionality. While the camera is a strong contender, buyers should carefully consider a few key compromises—including a glaring security vulnerability—and the current infancy of the Cloud subscription model and services. +++ Pros +++ + For our installation location (being completely exposed), the camera's IP66 rating meets the minimum standard for environmental sealing providing protection against the elements. + The horizontal pan and auto-tracking are truly game-changing. This eliminates the need to purchase more cameras to cover blind spots created by fixed camera products which not only saves you time and energy from an installation perspective, but more importantly it's very friendly on your wallet. + A welcome departure from industry norms: MicroSD storage (up to 256GB). Said differently, you have the flexibility of storing video locally, potentially bypassing cloud subscription costs (more on that in the 'Cons' section). + 2-Walk extends utility beyond security. You can communicate with delivery personnel or technically use the camera as an indoor-to-outdoor intercom system. There's also an integrated siren, which is a welcome addition. + The app's interface is initiative and easy to navigate. Even so, you'll find that there's no shortage of settings that you can play with and each has adequate accompanying descriptions explaining what each option does in a very non-technical way. --- Cons --- - While microSD is appreciated for local data storage, the omission of a battery backup is a notable security vulnerability. A simple power outage renders the camera useless. Likewise, if the outlet you plan on plugging this into into is easily accessible, you'd be wise to invest in a lockable weather-proof outlet cover from your local hardware store to prevent the camera from easily being defeated by being unplugged. - The app is a little finicky still. While using the app, I was frequently logged out, which is compounded by the requirement for passcode-based two factor verifications. At times, you'll enter the code and it logs you in only to log you back out and you're in a loop of sorts. - For a product that is wired for power, the absence of 4K video resolution (especially coming to the market late) was a missed opportunity. Since battery consumption and/or cloud consumption was not a factor, there's no obvious technical limitation that would've prevented this from being 4K. In 2025, 4K should really be the standard. Likewise, the visible WiFi antennas was an interesting design choice. -While the cloud optional model sounds appealing, key AI features are paywalled behind the highest subscription tier. The entry-level tier isn't bad at $5.99/month or $59.99 annually, but if I wanted to replace my other aging camera on the side of my house, the next plan up (supports up to 10 cameras but there's nothing in between) leaps up to $16.99/month or $169.99 annually. The plan Premium Plan that offers 6 months of event cloud storage (versus 2 on the other plans), gate keeps the AI smart search and smart alerts and requires professional monitoring edges up to $19.99 or $199.99 annually. This aggressive pricing model is reminiscent of a previous system I had and is exactly the reason why we got rid of that system. Like most subscription models, these prices aren't the "forever prices" and they're likely at some point to increase. It should be noted that Lorex's Cloud features are still under development so maybe there's hope that they will receive this early feedback and make some changes before launch but these are the publicly-facing, currently-published plans available at this time.
