Lorex has a good field of view since none of the cameras come in lower than 100º-placing them in a corner allows you to see everything in a room. But Lorex's video doorbells catch more action thanks to views of 160º or more. You'll really feel the price hike with 4K multi-camera setups like the Lorex Fusion 4K NVR System.įield of view: Most Lorex cameras have a field of view around 120º on average-a little narrower than competitors like Wyze and Arlo (but about the same as Reolink). As the resolution and amount of detail in videos increases, the price does as well. Resolution: Lorex cameras have four resolution options: 1080p, 1440p (2K with a 16:9 aspect ratio), 1920p (2K with a 4:3 aspect ratio), and 2160p (4K). Plus, the cameras support adjustable motion zones and motion sensitivity to help reduce push notification clutter on your phone. Some outdoor models, like the Lorex Smart Indoor/Outdoor, also support vehicle detection. Smart motion detection: All of the Lorex cameras in our review support person detection so they can send notifications when spotting a person. (It's not compatible with Apple HomeKit.) The app also allows you to link your Lorex cameras to smart home platforms like Google Assistant † and Amazon Alexa. The apps aren't too different from the competition like Reolink, YI, and Night Owl, but we found the Lorex Home app easy to use in our testing. Mobile app: Most Lorex cameras use a Wi-Fi network or Ethernet cable to connect to the internet, where you can control them with various Lorex apps. It's certainly better than the 33-foot maximum on some cheap security cameras like YI and Wyze, which is good for indoor recording and smaller yards, but not for large properties. While the range depends on the model, we didn't find anything lower than 33 feet while wired multi-camera models regularly exceed 100 feet of night vision range. Night vision: Most Lorex cameras come with powerful night vision. To further build upon Lorex's storage dominance, most of its multi-camera DVRs include at least 1 TB of storage, with many models offering up to 8 TB. For comparison, brands like Eufy and Reolink top out at 128 GB while Wyze and YI max out at 32 GB of microSD storage.
Large storage capacity: Lorex isn't unique for relying on local storage, but it stands out for allowing massive 256 GB microSD cards in its Wi-Fi camera models. This adds a nice layer of privacy that cloud-centric brands like Nest and Ring can't match. The lack of cloud storage means your video footage never traverses the internet without you choosing to view videos in the Lorex app. Local storage: Lorex is noteworthy for not offering cloud video storage subscriptions and including storage media (microSD cards or hard drives) with every camera it sells.
