Never received my order!!! FRAUDSTERS!

I ordered my system from lotex several weeks ago. Despite calling them 5 mins after the order highlight a mistake in thr delivery address, it was delivered a week later to the wrong address. I have paid over £400 and god knows where or who has my order. Customer service has been appalling. I have rang 3 times requesting to speak to a manager, no one has called me back. I was told it is not their responsibility. They basically have my money and couldn't care less that I do not have my order. I am contacting trading standards and reporting this as a scam to my bank to reclaim the money. Please do not buy from this company!!!!

Faulty product, poor customer service

Purchased a DVR system from Costco two years ago. The DVR itself stopped working and Costco advised me to contact Lorex directly. When I contacted their sales email to purchase another DVR, since it's not longer under warranty, they told me that I need to call or use the chat feature on their website. Not the sales email that is advertised on their site.

While the lack of support for a faulty product is frustrating, the lack of service is a deal breaker.

The NVR failed after three years

The NVR failed after three years. The company no longer supports the cameras or NVR purchased at that time. It was a $2,700 system. Even when working, the cameras could only read a licence plate within about 50ft of the camera lens so most often the footage was not useful for identifying individuals or cars. Very disappointing outcome.

I appreciate your concern. Is there something that can be done? I would not expect a system from Lorex to fail after three years.

When I called for help I kept getting…

When I called for help I kept getting pushed around with them telling me it's a different issue even when i had an electrician look at it and tell me what the issue was lorex still told me it was something else rather than actually dealing with the problem, and lorex was wrong. The device was not working correctly but they wouldnt admit it was the device. I spent money on have the issue looked at and trying to have it fixed by the electrician all because of lorex. Thanks for nothing but wasting my hard earned money. so I have gone with a different company and I will never recommend lorex or go with lorex ever again. Instead I'll tell how awful you are.

The new company has a way better customer service and doesn't beat around the bush so to speak. And they certainly dont waste my money

This system is terrible. Constantly cutting out, everyday I have to unplugged every day , to work properly,  one of the cameras is not working properly and already water damge . calling the custumer service for multiple time , and try to do troubleshooting  we did everything we can .
And end the custumer service told me to send proff of the purchase and pictures of the serial number and model number to the waranty office .
Calling week later they repond that they will not cover it beacuse I didnt purchase from the lorex autrizes delear. (I did purchase from Ebay) and I talk to the custumer service they refuse any help and I ask them I want talk to a super visore ,they refused and the supervisor told me the something she told they will not cover it.

Hello Saeed,

Thank you for sharing your review. We are sorry to hear about the problems we are having with your security system.

We have looked into your case, and unfortunately, since you purchased your system from an unauthorized reseller, our warranty policies do not apply in your case.

Thank you,

customer service is horrible

customer service is horrible. Don’t trust this company when it comes with troubleshooting. They barely know their products and their automated responses on here are just a bunch of bull. They also don’t like to give out replacements when their stuff breaks within warranty.
