This camera is great it captures playback footage of events with people or pets moving. You can also view live of course. It also has the option to talk through the camera. It ahas an app with free storage so you don’t have to pay an annual or monthly fee to go back and view footage. Footage and range is clear enough for what we need it for. We don’t keep plugged in constantly but, it gives us peace of mind when we are out to check in on the house. I would recommend this camera and I am also looking into adding some of the outdoor cameras as well because our current outdoor camera are $20/month for basically the same service Lorex offers for free. Very happy with my purchase.

Pros:
-Can record indefinitely with motion sensing - not 30 seconds like Blink
-Video is time stamped
-No subscription
-Multi-camera view (for free, unlike Wyze)
-Completely custom detection zones in a grid (see pics)
-16GB memory card advertised, 32GB included - nice that they don't pinch pennies
-Seamless Android setup (Galaxy S8; old-school)
-App doesn't crash or force a login every time it's opened - runs rather well
-Life feed doesn't require continuous prompting like Blink
-Video can be viewed in portrait or landscape mode
-Videos can be downloaded to phone over the internet (if you commit it to a recording)
-Privacy mode allows you to stop recording and notifications manually
-No official motion detection cool-down time (what a way to screw your customers, Wyze - completely pay to play)
-Permissions requests explain exactly how a given resource is used
-Microphone; I could hear myself whistle from the next room while streaming the feed
-Intercom, in case you want to annoy your family or get your camera stolen
Upon opening the box, I thought I had the Holy Grail. I didn't experience any of the horror stories I read about and everything was easy-peasy. Now, for the missed opportunities...
Cons:
-Local storage only (on the memory card in the camera);
No option to commit recordings to multiple places
-PC app does not work with this camera, so it is phone-controlled only
-You can set a notification schedule and you can use location settings to stop recording when you are nearby, but you cannot set a hard start and stop schedule
-Yes, it does generate heat, but I will update if it actually becomes an issue
-If you set a motion zone, like a door, all you get is the person cracking open the door. Making the whole screen the motion zone seemed to yield better results, but it seems to defeat the purpose of a trigger zone.
-Maybe it's the wide FOV, but I thought 2k would be more detailed. Maybe cell phones have spoiled me.
As you can see, it is very close to being a super product. Freedom from a subscription has its ups and downs. I dislike having to rely on technology to make decisions like if I'm home or if motion that continues outside of the zone is worth recording without having the ability to guarantee results, like "do or don't record at these times" and "record for a minimum time of..." or "don't stop recording until the motion stops." I also really wish that I could access this device from my PC. I also really wish I could choose for recordings to commit to XYZ device in real time. Maybe there is a system this works with that would do that, I don't know.
Overall, it is a good product if you want something you can monitor from your phone without having to pay for the rest of your life. You can manage many cameras (I saw grid options for up to 9, possibly more) from your phone. If nobody swipes your camera, you can remotely access your recordings and "record" a given event in order to download the recording. I believe you have to manually go through and there is a way to check the boxes of events you want deleted. I don't know what happens yet when the memory card is filled; deleting events did not seem to free any space. Hopefully it just overwrites the oldest recording.
I've attached some pictures and recordings. Mostly of menus, since ease of use and reliability of the app was a large driver of my purchase and online documentation is scarce. I also included a video of the "click" the manual talks about when the IR filter flips down to enter night mode.
5/30/22 Update: It appears that the events get deleted automatically after a few days, not after it fills up. It's convenient to not have a bunch of events, but inconvenient because if you want to review something from last week, it's gone. It's also inconvenient if it always writes to the same blocks of memory, as it would wear the memory card out much faster (if it does that). If you hit the writing icon in the top right and then the four squares in the top left, you can select all events at once.
Overall, it has done a good job. I still refuse to give the last star on account of the poor video management. There is no way to tell it to automatically ignore based on phone proximity or time. It will still record a ton of events when it sees you, it just will not notify you of the events.

It is super easy to install, and you just plug it into the outlet and connect it to your Wi-Fi.
I was able to add this camera to my NVR through Wi-Fi and now I can see all cameras together, including this Wi-Fi camera on my NVR. That's it!
It has a crisp clear image and looks and feels durable.
![](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/amazon-avatars-global/default._CR0,0,1024,1024_SX48_.png)
Its 2K and it looks really good. It also has an HDR feature, audio recording, loud noise detection, infrared for night vision and many other adjustments and features.
The base of the camera stand is magnetic so anything metal it can cling to, upside down, sideways, anything, anywhere. It also comes with a metal plate in case there isn't anything metal close by, you can attach the plate to a surface and then the magnet in the camera stand can attach to it.
As in another review; i bought 2 for myself and since it was so easy to set up and configure i bought 2 for my in-laws.

That was all before we get to the OTHER problems. The default notification sound on my phone goes off with every other camera app. On the Lorex app it doesn't. No sound at all and yes it is turned on. I have installed every other camera (six of them....all different brands) and they use the system default notification sound of my iPhone (bloop bloop). So the security is useless because I won't hear the notifications.
