Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lorex Classic at 4.6 against Vuer HDR's 3.1. Lorex Classic also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 7) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). Vuer HDR's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
