I just installed the 4K Lorex doorbell camera as part of my new Lorex Fusion system. It’s only been in use for about a month but so far, I’m very satisfied. Easy to install and setup and it has great color night vision in my well lit front door area.
@@Nick-dd7ps - Yes, I’m completely happy with the Lorex Fusion system. The system I have has 16 channels, 8 Wi-Fi and 8 POE. I already had an existing, smaller Lorex system and I was surprised that my old POE cameras worked with the new system, I wasn’t expecting that. Installation and setup was easy. I also bought one of those new Lorex panorama cameras, I’m really happy that as well. Have a great weekend!
How long can it record, I have the ring and for some reason this never record the even I'm looking for, I have the lorex fusion cameras and I'm happy with them
I have Lorex and have issues with the view, the bracket is at max 15 degree angel, doesn't show much where my doorbell is. I am also having issues with editing the light schedule. It can't distinguish between AM and PM. I also heard that the FCC is banning Lorex. Is it true?
For my Eufy setup, I got an additional bracket online that's adjustable to extend the angle since my doorbell is oriented 90 degrees from the door and the 15 degree wedge was good, but not optimal. There's an authorization ban on many companies that are Chinese based that prevent them from being used by government entities (think TikTok on government devices, and DJI drones) these do not affect residential users.
The only fair comparison would have been if you had used all doorbells on battery or wired and for comparison the latest Eufy doorbell (E340) in line with the latest from the Swan and Lorex.
Absolutely, that would have been ideal, this was a 4k doorbell comparison and Lorex only offers 4k in their wired version. Just wanted to include the Eufy 2k since I already had it and it's a very popular and long-standing model.
The Swann camera sucks. The camera is poorly situated or mounted inside the case, and the reason you can see the actual casing. Also, the sound quality is horrible.
I suppose it depends on your needs and application. If you don't have hardwired power, that will exclude the Lorex. Do you have an entrance where you need very good vertical FOV? That might be a pro for the Swann. Alternatively, if you need good audio recording, that would be a con of the Swann. Depends on how your priorities rank but I do like the Eufy offering as a good all-around performer on battery.
I would say it depends on your use case first. Is there hardwired power for the doorbell? If not, that will exclude the Lorex. I've had no issues with my Eufy and have not heard of any significant problems with any of these products.
Hey Kyle, that's actually how the Swann and Lorex record their video so that you can see a person from top to bottom when close to the doorbell. Unfortunately there's no way to change the view ratio on them, it's built in and I wanted the finished video to reflect how they record in reality. If a wider/more normal FOV is important, a ratio like the Eufy has would be most applicable. Thanks!

Excellent! Glad you found a solution that works well for you. How have you enjoyed the fusion integration and other cameras?

@@randerson4383 im planning on getting that panoramic camera as well, would you recommend it?
Does it look really big once its mounted?
@@teaitout - I really like the panorama camera, it works as advertised and it’s actually pretty small, the size doesn’t bother me at all.

Great review, man! Thanks! I'll go for Lorex now👍🏼
Great video, very helpful.
Excellent review!
Thanks for the support!

@@Nick-dd7psYou put in a lot of effort in the review so still very much worth watching 👍
What do you think about what Nest has to offer?
Very good.
The Swann camera sucks. The camera is poorly situated or mounted inside the case, and the reason you can see the actual casing. Also, the sound quality is horrible.
It is definitely a unique design from the other options out there. Completely agree with the audio quality, it's terrible.
I’m still confused which one I should get 😢

I wish you formatted your video better. In full screen mode you only get 13rd of the video. You should of rotated your video in post production

@@Nick-dd7ps thanks! Crap it doesn’t record in a normal 16:9 format.
