ORIGINAL REVIEW: First let me say that the image quality on this camera is very nice for a doorbell camera. Also the firmware does a good job at correcting most of the wide-angle distortion. I like the LED light on the bottom and have it set to flash when it detects motion so that people will look at the camera. The night color mode works pretty good with my porch light on (which it is all night) and the IR night mode works well too. There is only one HDR setting but it does a good job. Now for the bad parts. The Android app is a complete disaster. This is supposed to be a security camera, hence, it should notify you when it detects motion, or a person if that's how you have it setup. The problem is that the notifications can often take several seconds to several minutes. What good is that? I am using a brand new mesh dual band router and a brand new 5G phone. The signal strength is at max bars for both the camera's Wi-Fi and the phone's 5G, so it's not a signal issue. I also tried replacing the 24VAC 40VA transformer I was using on my old doorbell camera with a 2 pound industrial 24VAC 50VA transformer, so it's not a power problem.
The app is slow to load and when I click on the camera icon I get a message that says "Loading live view" for over half a minute before getting the message "uh-oh, something went wrong". It might take several tries before I can get a picture on my phone. The same thing happens when I try to view a recorded video. The only way I can get a picture on my phone within a reasonable amount of time is if I am sitting at home and turn on the Wi-Fi on my phone, then I can usually get to the camera. I even tried turning off every battery saving feature I could find on my phone, but the notifications still take way too long. There have been times when I'm not really thinking about the camera after leaving the house and several minutes I'll get a notification while I'm driving. Turns out the notification was me leaving the house. The "person" detection is also good at detecting cats if you're trying to keep an eye out for kitty.
Unbelievably there is no web interface for adjusting the camera, like getting rid of the huge LOREX logo that no one wants, or repositioning the date/time to where it works for you. There are no adjustments for brightness, contrast, saturation, white balance, HDR level, etc. This is a lot of money to pay for a camera that you can not adjust to suit your needs. Another head-scratcher is that the camera is not ONVIF compliant. I guess Lorex wants you to buy into their new Fusion system because this camera won't even work with their slightly older non-Fusion NVRs. How's that for ticking-off loyal Lorex customers?
Despite its shortcomings, this could be such a nice camera if the app actually worked, but after spending weeks of trouble-shooting, researching the Internet and trying every setting possible on the camera, my phone, and the app, I'm afraid this camera will not work on an Android 11 device.
I contacted support and they were not helpful other than sending me some generic troubleshooting instructions. When I asked for more help, I got no response.
Only buy this if you need a doorbell-shaped paperweight!
The camera has some good features and the app allows you to adjust and customize those features in many ways. Good picture. We've only had it installed for a day but we tested triggering the alerts and it also has given alerts from people walking their dog on the sidewalk on medium sensitivity (25 yards).
Wide angle of view. The night vision is clear.
I finally decided that I would replace it. When I went shopping, I found that the Lorex 2K still has no real competition (except, perhaps, for the new Lorex 4K) for my uses. I ordered another and installed it. Works great, and I like the new detection zone support.
I wish there were a video doorbell that I could give 5 stars to. I don't want an offsite storage subscription, and I do want good quality video and the ability to answer the door from my iPhone. In the meantime I'm happy with everything about the Lorex 2K aside from its durability. It ticks all the boxes, and works well until it doesn't.
