### 4/5 — Good lil camera

*2026-08-19, version 2.6.0*

This camera  needs to have more time prior to trigger I find the the event doesn't start at beginning kinda gets the tail end of the event rather then the entire thing ! Update I have 3 now and my internet speed is better so it seems are the cameras… would recommend !

### 3/5 — I’m not going to do a rating at the moment. Well guess have no choice but the positive side

*2026-07-30, version 2.6.0*

Need to be able to connect with more then WiFi give them 3-1/2

### 2/5 — Notifications

*2026-07-30, version 2.6.0*

I don’t normally write reviews, but I’m frustrated. I’ve had my system for 7 years and have been pretty satisfied with it. Occasionally notifications didn’t work, I’d call and it would go back to notifying. It’s now been a month and two ticket numbers later with no resolution. All they tell me is that they are working on it. My system is working. The app is not as far as notifications!  I have to check the app to see if something is going on outside. People are at my door and I had no clue anyone was outside! I’m not the only one with this issue yet they can’t seem to fix it. Google it! There are tons of folk with the same issue yet they won’t fix it. Today they tell me my system has been discontinued, yet my system is perfectly fine. The app is the issue.  Lorex you have to do better.

### 3/5 — Happy but......

*2026-07-16, version 2.6.0*

Happy Overall but seems the app didn't account for the leap year, date and time is right on main system but my motion notifications has been Having the next days date, this started in the 29th of February and notification On that day was 1 March. So when I clicked on motion notification it would show no video. Been on the phone with lorex for over 2 hours and they think it's the system when in fact I know it's the app. I can still use it and overall happy, maybe the right motion date will kick in some day lol

### 4/5 — Love the cams

*2026-06-07, version 2.6.0*

Feel safe having them

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-05-28, version 2.6.0*

This app/system use to be great, as of late it never loads anymore, I’m unable to see any video, I will get a alert from the cameras but when clicking the notification the camera never loads, even if I exit out the app and restart it, it still will not load, I have 4 cameras, 2 of them stopped working completely and the other 2 now doesn’t load despite paying nearly $500 for cameras that doesn’t work with the app

### 5/5 — Great Security

*2026-04-06, version 2.6.0*

Lorex system with battery has given me a Peace of Mind for the last 6 years and going strong. Batteries have been hard to get. So internal cameras have been using wall plug-ins and out side now on solar.  Picture Quality is outstanding. Highly recommended Lorex. Ps thanks for all the great support during the last 6 years. Thanks

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-04-02, version 2.6.0*

Great product. Easy setup, ultra useful app.

### 5/5 — 🥴

### 5/5 — Very good

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2026-08-16, version 2.6.0*

This fails to be a genuine security system if it doesn’t give any alerts as to what you have it monitoring. Like many Lorex customers, I’ve had and loved my system for years. Ufortunately, it seems it’s time to upgrade somewhere else as this company will not resolve the constant issues.

### 1/5 — No notifications again

*2026-08-06, version 2.6.0*

Notifications do not work AGAIN 8/6/26

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2026-07-22, version 2.6.0*

I don’t get any notifications being sent to my iPhone AGAIN!! It was working fine few weeks ago now it doesn’t. I’ve powered off the system, checked my wifi and took battery packs all out of the camera. Uninstalled iPhone app and reinstalled all cameras. I’m still not receiving any notifications being pushed. I’ve had this system since 2011. I’ll be looking for another camera system  that won’t give me any issues. This happens often. What’s the point of having a nice expensive system when this occurs all the time.

### 1/5 — No notifications

*2026-07-14, version 2.6.0*

I’ve been using these cameras for a few years back in the spring I lost all notifications after 3 weeks I started to receive them again and now I’m experiencing the same thing for the last 3 weeks. Please fix the app, as I owe 2 systems. Error code (-1004) when trying to set notifications on in the app.
Update notifications came back, but now for the last 6 weeks, no notifications! Please fix the app

### 1/5 — No Push Notifications

*2026-07-12, version 2.6.0*

### 1/5 — Bad product

*2026-06-03, version 2.6.0*

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-05-31, version 2.6.0*

Simply too old and non functional.

### 1/5 — Lorex

*2026-05-27, version 2.6.0*

Server is always slow, need to increase capacity.

### 1/5 — Cameras Won’t connect to net,

*2026-05-23, version 2.6.0*

Can’t see cameras on phone, no not connection, stopped notifications, stopped snap shots, no videos either.  Tried reset nvr nothing. 
Standing right next to nvr won’t connect.  Lorex said this was a good dependable security setup for home 
Distance below max. Nothing. Now Lorex discontinues & I can’t add on like support said I would be able to & 
They do not care. I tried new cameras from Lorex after got them here they said oh you have to use new software & then hit me w/ they discontinued what I bought.  Cameras & nvr will not connect 
I had such high hopes from your words of guarantee.

### 5/5 — App works great

*2026-08-07, version 2.6.0*

Ben using the app for a long time no problems

### 5/5 — Advanced product with User Friendly Features.

*2026-07-14, version 2.6.0*

This wireless camera system provides commercial level features and optics at an affordable price. I am a 21 year veteran in the electronic security business ( I work for the government ) and I use this system for one of my personal properties. The range is great and the night vision on the cameras is EXCELLENT. The mobile app is intuitive and feature rich. I highly recommend this system for your residential or business needs. I am not affiliated or have been paid for this review. Just an honest description of my experience with this product. Hope this helps someone.
