Hi, I’m tech support from Lorex, the recording did not stop, you can see it in the timeline, the playback recording is completed, but when you view the recording from the notification, you can only view about 30s. But if you view the recording from the timeline, you will see the recording is actually as long as the motion duration
Hi! I have a question, is there a way for the camera feed to keep going continously? For example I want to watch my kids in the living room from my home center but it keeps asking to tap to wake up like every five minutes?
Hi, just saw your question, so sorry for the late reply. i'm afraid this camera can't meet this requirement, and i think most of the battery cameras do not have this issue, becuase of battery to prevent excessive battery consumption@@IlsePérez-l5c
Thank you for this video!!! I am wanting to switch systems because the one I have has low night vision qualify and glitches. I was asking my cousin a bunch of questions as she has this. This video helps me better visualize what I need. I have an autistic son and thats the main reason I got cameras in the first place years ago.
Thank you for the detailed, helpful reviews you share. I hope you can have the chance to review Lorex 2k doorbell camera in the future, as I am interested in this doorbell, but want to see more on the video and audio quality.
Great outdoor day/night tests of the PIR based motion detection. I like it that you pointed to areas to improve motion recording with firmware updates. Did you ever hear of an available firmware update from Lorex?
Yeah this camera system is a no go for me. I'll stick with my eufy cameras... Give you props for all the moving back and forth to keep the camera to continue to record though
Has the Lorex 2K received any firmware updates recently to fix the issue you found 8 months ago? I was looking into the system and it seemed to be an ideal one, however now not so much given the issues you found.
Hello! I was excited to see this new product because it could compliment my wired Lorex system, but after watching you run back and forth and the short detection distance, was a little disappointed. Actually really disappointed. The audio was strong, but without any pictures it would be hard to purchase this. BTW- love what you are doing around your shed! Keep up the great work!
Heck yeah. This would be a tempting buy. Just for footage storage alone. (Sigh) then again. From my experience with ring. Do I really want a battery powered camera? So..much manual charging.
I have two Lorex wired, (gets power from transformer), WI-Fi doorbell cameras. The cameras themselves are nice with excellent image quality for a doorbell camera, but the audio doesn't seem as sensitive as the cameras in this video, plus they also have the same problem with wind noise. My major complaint, and it's a biggie, is that the notification time can be long...as in *_really_* long. Yesterday I had one notification take 1-1/2 hours to show up on my phone. This kind of defeats the purpose of a security camera. I have a brand new 5G phone with 5 bars of signal and a brand new Wi-FI 6 mesh router with 5 bars of signal received from the cameras. Another deal breaker, and it's a biggie too, is that unless I am at home and have the Wi-Fi on with my phone turned on, it takes about 40+ seconds to connect to a camera video feed. If I turn on the Wi-Fi on my phone it only takes about 3 seconds to connect. So if I'm away from the house and by some miracle get a notification, it takes another 40+ seconds to view the camera. If Lorex could get their app for Android to work these would be awesome cameras. The app had a 2 star rating until a week ago where a flood of 5 star reviews with almost no comment came up all within a few days - I smell a rat.
Sounds like an issue with your home internet. I have a 2k Lorex doorbell camera as well, and I don't have any issues with it. I have cable internet & I'm averaging around 120mbps.
Great video. New subscriber. What camera system would you recommend for a large house. Looking at a 4-6 camera system and digging into Arlo, Lorex, eufy. Plan to pass on simplisafe for now although we use their security system. Thoughts as I dig through your other reviews? Ps…Adorama rocks 😉
I luv my Eufy S40 Solo cams with built in solar panel an 600lumen spot light. Battery Stays charged from built in solor panel an battery percentage stays 99-100% Always ' Never has any issues.
LifeHackster, about these wireless camera systems with base stations. I have the Wyze outdoor setup for my house. Whether you connect the base station Wired or Wireless; how do you get more range/ signal strength from the base station? My home is only 1900 sqft and two of my cameras out of four have very low signal strength. The base station is getting excellent strength from the router, but my aforementioned cameras aren't getting good strength from the base station.
I usually set it up using WIFI instead of plugging it in the router (if that is an option) and I place the base station as close as I can to where the cameras are installed. I do have the base station of my Eufy in front of the house and I am still able to get reliable connection with the camera(s) in my backyard.
most new totally wireless cameras made today will actually link together to help extend the wifi signal so one or two camera can actually be used further from the home base than if you didn't have another camera in the middle to extend the signal. It works real simple. You just put your first camera close to the base unit so there is a strong connection there. Then you can experiment on how far the signal will go for the second camera (Different brand cameras have different ranges on their wifi signal) but most cameras have a 100 feet range on signal unless we start talking about the signal having to go through walls and doors, etc. That is why I put my base unit next to an outside wall in my office (For me, next to the window, even, lol) and the first camera on the outside of the house of the same wall so I know it gets good signal. Then I can pretty much place my next camera anywhere up to 100 feet of direct line of sight to the first camera and less distance if there are obstructions (Different brand cameras will vary in signal length). As you can see, the cameras have the ability to help extend the signal distance so long as they are close enough to keep signal with each other. You can then add a third camera even further out if needed, just as long as you keep it close enough to the 2nd camera. As long as the cameras can maintain signal between them then you can extend the distance of your surveillance greatly with this method. Just make sure that the cameras you purchase have this ability. If you are unsure then contact the manufacturer and you can almost always find reviews on the model camera here on youtube as well.
😀since he get paid for it , he ain't buying any of this so his house is full of camera from different company , they even don't charge him for monthly fee. To answer your question he is using all brand of security camera .
Great review; easy to follow, tks. I am able to set up recording period for AM or PM only; how do I set it up for motion detection recording for the entire day? tks
I have some questions for you : Say I am abroad on a trip, can I access the hub over IP and monitor the cameras or play the videos ? also can I get alert over IP for a motion detection while I'm abroad ?
Hey man, great review. So I know you did this a little while ago I’m looking at doing two indoor cameras probably pan and tilt, I would like to go wireless battery powered just for ease, and I also need for outdoor cameras that are battery powered because I don’t want to run hardwiring through my whole house. I’m leaning more towards you Eufy 2cpro . What was your suggestions before what to use outside and what to use inside? Just based on your latest reviews since you have so much experience. Most important things to me are a motion light that comes on preferably a little bit more sensitive than 15 feet like this video, having speakers, And night vision. I know hardwired is the best route to take I just don’t want to go for the headache of dealing with an NVR etc. I really like the Lorax home system but I’m not sure especially after watching your video that their cameras are the best unless they have something newer out now since you’ve done this video that you would recommend
Any idea on when Ring will release an update to the Spotlight Cams like they have with the Floodlight Cams? Been waiting for an update for this style for a year now. Need 2 of them!
How do these fare in a Canadian winter? Any people on here but these that are from the Wisconsin or Minnesota areas so I can get a good gauge on how well they operate in cold weather. Thank you.
honestly quality of image isnt so important to me its more about actually seeing if something is there or not, i dont need to see facial features i just want to know if theres a person.
I will never buy Lorex anything again. 3 dvrs failed and terrible customer service. The only good thing was they failed under warranty but did fail again out of warrenty. No way.
Thumbs down! My ring stick up camera looks like this video quality so called 2 K. I think 1080p resolution is just fine for most. I really don’t see much difference between 2K 4K and 1080p enough to have to pay a premium for the highest resolution. And if you want closeups then stick the ring cams all over the place and in the yard to be able to read license plates etc. I got mine on trees near the edge of the street and I can make out license plates just fine
I just purchased the 4 camera system with a door bell and after 3 days I had to return it. The camera quality was not 2k! The motion detection was no where to be found and the app was nothing but buggy. I changed the battery after 3 days and 2 cameras magically unsinked and could not connect video again. Don’t recommend at all.
Hello, Would you please know why my new 2K wireless camera Lorex battery is draining very fast even though it is plugged directly in the outlet? Thank you!

I have a lorex floodlight camera i love it, it uses a memory card local storage beautiful camera vision.
First time on your page. Amazing Review. Very professional, detailed, & easy to understand. You answered all my questions. Keep up the great work.
What is the best security camera that has a better quality? Wireless along with non-subscription.
Thanks, you covered everything . Will have to watch again to really get all the set up right.
Exited to see your review about the Lorex nvr system!! Especially the Fusion collection!!

The one inside my house in the ceiling, I had the wire go through the attic.

Another question what's the range on the camera to the lorrex hub, that's not listed anywhere on the packaging.... I'm a little disappointed

You should try the doorbell as well
If I don't want to fool with having to recharge the batteries, can I just run a cable to the camera to have it always connected to power?

What cameras do you use as your daily driver? I'm assuming you would be using the best, since you test so many.

If need only the cameras and not the hub. Can the wireless cameras work with my existing 4K Ultra HD IP 16-Channel NVR System.
Any playback option available?
Sorry if I miss the information, why the 2K resolution seems have low video bitrate? May I know what is the video bitrate at 2K?
How do u think these compare to the new blink cameras I have them and am looking at upgrading to a better full wireless system
Awesome video - can you please do some more testing videos with Lorex system?
Between the wyze v3 and the reolink argus 3 which would you recommend. Which one is better
Question: Can we add this camera or any Lorex Wi-Fi camera to an existing Lorex NvR?
what about microcard storage on/in the actual camera? not the hub. Does this make a difference?
I have some questions for you : Say I am abroad on a trip, can I access the hub over IP and monitor the cameras or play the videos ? also can I get alert over IP for a motion detection while I'm abroad ?
You didn'reply to my question, when I'm out and only have mobile data, is it possible to control the camera over IP ?

Yes, it does.
Can I add solar panel
Thank you sir.

I've owned Lorex cameras for years and love them. They've lost their way. Count me out.
Can you connect a screen into the main base and let in on 24h for real time watch/display images ?
Can you compare Lorex 2k with Blink Amazon
I'll have to pass on this. For wireless, I'll stick with Ring and Eufy.
Do you have an update video after having the firmware updated?
Is it weather proof?
whats the best wireless cameras? wyze? lorex? or eufy?
Hello, does this camera records 24/7 ? Thanks
How do these fare in a Canadian winter? Any people on here but these that are from the Wisconsin or Minnesota areas so I can get a good gauge on how well they operate in cold weather.
Thank you.
how do you monitor your lorex wifi camera from the pc with Windows 10
WARNING best gaslighting toy ever!!!
Good intro, but you went so fast concerning retrieving recording that it was no help.
Try that part again, please as Lorex ignores that as well.
it can record 24/7 ?
hello how to add other user using lorex home app?
What would you recommend for wireless cameras?
Eufy or Reolink and Ring stickup cam
@@LifeHackster Good to know thanks. S40 is better I presume?
Thx
I have not watched in so long
I’ve heard Lorex has 30 FPS, which is very good for a camera
this camera system does not have 30fps. their wired ip systems do.
@@quacktony ok, but do the indoor ones have 30 FPS?

15' detection distance....even $25 Wyze cam is better than that.
I know, it has a short detection range.
I'll stick with Wyze V3
Is Lorex better than Reolink?
Hi - first
Webcam webcam with Cam webcam
Pathetic as was my Lorex NVR system that I paid a fortune for a few years ago. PASS!
First
15 fps is trash for Wi-Fi cameras, the 2k seems only good if its 15 feet from the person. over all I'm pretty much not impressed at all..
Should tell people that these cameras keeps turning offline and are complete garbage.
Looks like they copied software from ezviz.
Lorax are the worst because of lack of quality
Is this made in china? If so, im not interested.
Get a grip I bet the phone or laptop you used to comment on is made in China you absolute melon!
