Lorex 2K Wired WiFi Smart Video Doorbell Camera w/No Subscription Fee – Smart Security Lighting, Night Vision, Motion Detection, Requires Existing Wiring (White)

Just what I was looking for – Highly Recommend this product
First let me say I am very experienced in all things Wi-Fi. I was in the industry of installing and serving all types of security.Our new home builder included a Doorbell camera and other smart devices. They worked well but that other company started to charge monthly fees. NO WAY was I going to pay, feeling hostage to my own equipment. So I completely eliminated that company smart devices from my home. The equipment gets installed in the home only to find out you dont get full use of it unless you pay. No way. Enter the Lorex 2K wired doorbell camera. After searching for a month or so. I settled on Lorex. Wow, I am glad I did. I have installed MANY name brand makes (some “professional”level) in peoples home but never dealt with Lorex.I am now sold on this company, at least from this one experience and I plan on adding more of their equipment now with NO MONTHLY FEES.1. Installation was simple, took off the old doorbell camera and installed the new. Took off the old doorbell camera “control” from my hardwired doorbell which is mounted on the wall in the house and installed the Lorex one.2. Fantastic, Crisp clear video, very responsive through our very good Wi-Fi network. Wonderful motion/people detection, ok night vision. Everything works as it should which isnt always so with other companies.Negatives- (the list is very short)Two wonky things to remember when setting up the doorbell camera that tripped me up at first.1. Lorex tells you to go to the (in my case apple playstore) and download the “Lorex Home” app. Well there is NO “Lorex Home” app. there are multiple lorex apps not named “Home” SO I chose the first one as it seems like the best choice but it is just named “Lorex”2. Like most cameras now, you need to scan the QR code to learn the camera into your Wi-Fi network. Well I found out the hard way, do NOT scan the QR code on the outside of the box *LOL* when you remove the doorbell camera from the box you will see the proper QR code that is under the doorbell camera on a tiny sticker. Once you do that simple stuff.3. Like all WiFI camera equipment, depending on your phone it could get a little wonky leaving the app while you are learning in the camera to go into your phone settings, then go back to the app. Have a little patience as you may have to do it once or twice to get it right, this is not a Lorex issue though, its just one of those things.Bottom Line-I consider the Lorex 2K (they also now have a 4k if you prefer) Doorbell camera to be the best in the industry, bar none. The best part is there are no monthly fees which another well known company not only charges but just raised their price another 25% per month.The Lorex doorbell camera feels quality throughout, looks fantastic and works perfectly. It’s a bargain at the price too, in my opinion. I much prefer the look vs the other well known name brand that I had.Im someone who can find fault with any product and I struggle to say anything negative about this product expect what is mentioned and that in itself is amazing. I included some quickly taken photographs. It’s really a pretty unit. There is some reflection in the picture, did the best I could to take it.

Piece of junk
It worked for 2 hours and disconnected itself. I tried everything and it just won’t power up. Oh, and it doesn’t connect with Alexa. Don’t waste your time and money.

Excellent video, very good product.
This item has a really great camera. The video quality and motion detection is fantastic. It works well with my wired door bell chime.
