Selected User Reviews For Lorex W261ASC-E Day & Night 2MP 1080p Full HD Smart Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera with 2.8mm Fixed Lens

It's great for getting notified of incoming packages or for monitoring a newborn baby, but it's not helpful as a security camera
3/5

Here are some pros The following is a translation of the sentence In comparison with some other cameras, it is relatively inexpensive (especially when you buy it on sale for $40). The following is a translation of the sentence A decent resolution and picture quality can be found in the movie. The following is a translation of the sentence It is pretty easy to mount and adjust thanks to its magnetic base and swivel. The following is a translation of the sentence Video can be viewable upside down when the device is mounted upside down. The following is a translation of the sentence Although the app is decent, it would be nice if it had There are a number of cons The following is a translation of the sentence The camera cannot be saved offsite or in the cloud, so if someone breaks in, they just have to take the camera or even the SD card and there will be no evidence of their crime. The following is a translation of the sentence As there are no multiple zones, you will not be able to save recordings in both zones and will only get notified when movement is detected in an The following is a translation of the sentence It's hard to select just the zones that you want to trigger without triggering other areas nearby that might have additional unwanted triggers. The "squares" for motion zones are too big, so it is hard to pick just the zones you want. The following is a translation of the sentence The picture quality is poor. Occasionally some areas are too dark for making out details and other areas appeared to be blown out because of the increased contrast.

The camera is very well designed, has lots of features, and offers flexibility in mounting or placement
4/5

Camcorder is very handy and I like that it can comfortably sit on a shelf or be mounted or adjusted easily on the Although night vision is present, the video is still pretty clear. When you review the playback, you can zoom, which is really useful. A camera like this would probably survive in an indoor environment. It doesn't look like it can withstand rain or condensation. As a result, we have been able to view the video feed on the app only. However, the camera app could be a bit more comprehensive, yet it still offers many features most good cameras have. The camera's wifi connection is optimal as it allows up to two cameras to operate simultaneously. Despite being located 3 rooms down the hall and 1 flight up from my modem and phone, I am still able to stream video. There are a couple of important things to consider, 1) the video cannot be viewed online, only through an app, 2) the SD card cannot be upgraded (to a higher GB, for example) 3) the SD card is not readable by most devices because the video format is unusual. This is off on This will probably be a video display controller or similar). The result is that if you have to save any videos on another device, that would be problematic. Those don't concern me much since I am working with the app fine. If you create your videos frequently and for a longer period, the 16GB will overwrite earlier files more than necessary. I also found the cable to be too short, maybe three feet. Overall, I have had a great experience using the camera for the month I have had If you have other Lorex camera systems, it will not work with this one. Our outdoor 4 cam Lorex dvr system and Lorex app are already linked to our existing Lorex dvr system/feed, and we had hoped to link these new cameras to those systems/feeds. As a result, you'll need to use two apps on your phone for Lorex.

The picture is clear, the audio is good, and the app is well-designed
4/5

If you wish to view the video there are three options It comes with a Lorex Home App (used to set it up), a Google Home, and an Alexa app. Lorex Home's app is very easy to use, but allows for only one user to sign in at a time (most likely because the camera controls the app rather than the other way around). I like the picture because it's clear, but it has a bit of a fish-eye effect As you would expect from a smaller lens in a smaller housing, there is a greater chance of reduced glare. This product certainly has some nice features and is certainly welcome. The magnetic base, together with the strong, posable stem, and metal mounting bracket are undoubtedly nice features. In the package, Lorex provides an USB cable that is not of the best quality and is completely free. The cable feels cheap, so upgrading it to something that feels better and is longer would be helpful, especially if you were going to mount the camera at an angle. The height of the piece Nevertheless, I believe that Lorex's own website offers a way to purchase the two pack for just $20 more.
I am not sure if Lorex saves the video that is sent to the can for viewing.

This is a great As a complement to the Lorex wired cameras, I purchased this kit
5/5

Several settings were provided in the app to help setup connecting to my Wi-Fi, and my N841 NVR found and connected to it. You can also use it as a standalone camera with no DVR and it will record to an included SD card. There have been a few other brands of security cameras that I have used before, but Lorex is the best because of the built-in magnet. You can stick it easily to metal things because it has a base with a magnet. The only thing I would like is the camera and stand to either be all black or all white. If both colors were the same, the camera and stand would stand out less. It's a very cute little guy. I'm quite happy with him overall.

It's a good camera, but it's not perfect
3/5

I like it. Buying three of them for our company was a smart move. It seems like every time I move it, it detects motion, which is really cool. Additionally, the zone can be customized, making it even more useful. Due to a couple of reasons, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars. The following is the list of numbers 1 - I see in the dark. A video camera's video quality is significantly worse at night when there is no light. 2 * You can't store data in the cloud! Can you tell me why I consider the cloud to be very important? It may happen that someone disconnects the camera and leaves it still in that case, you wouldn't have any footage of it or of.

Small camera that can be used indoors
4/5

To check if I am sleepwalking at night, I bought this camera to monitor my hallway. It is possible to get good pictures during the daytime. The night vision on the iPhone is just fine. Android devices do not work well with the Lorex Home application. You can use push notifications, motion zones, and different types of movement detection to make use of all its features. The phone, however, was not able to access all of the features. I was able to access all the features on my 10-inch Android tablet after downloading the app. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a midrange indoor camera. It was easy to connect to the wi-fi Setting up the wireless network. This product comes in different mounting options and for what you get, the price is not bad. As a whole, the Lorex 1080p Full HD Smart Indoor Wireless Camera is a decent product A good selection of indoor security cameras can be found in the Wi-Fi Security Camera.
