Great help from tech support

The woman from tech support who helped me was great! She was able to help me reset my password and also walked me through how to set up the lorex cloud on my laptop. She was very knowledgeable and also had a very friendly attitude. I'm glad she's the one who helped me.

Fantastic support

After many hours of trying to find a way to factory reset an older NVR setup, I finally called Lorex support for assistance. The tech support person was really helpful and managed to enable a temporary password so I could reset the system. I really thought the box was going to landfill but with the password reset process I was up and running again in 15 minutes. Outstanding.

Amazing! 🤩 Lorex 2K Pan-Tilt Indoor…

We bought Lorex 2K Pan-Tilt Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera
W462AQD-EG and this is the best camera without subscription, only one minus is sometimes where i try to see the live view i need to close application and open again then the live view is working, motion sensor is a little bit too slow but its working, night mode is perfect, amazing item just for £40 😍

Out of box frustration

Out of box frustration. Extender won’t connect to hub. Can’t get cameras on same floor as hub to provide live feed. Downstairs even worse. Delay in connection and feed is monumentally slow. Pan and tilt controls are impossible to manipulate with any precision. Sending this monstrosity back. Out of the box all the equipment appeared good, sturdy and first class packaging but I need a system that works without headaches. Back to looking for a system that delivers timely video. The app was no help.

I purchased 2 Lorex Video Doorbells in…

I purchased 2 Lorex Video Doorbells in October 2023. Both bells worked fine at the start. After about 2 weeks one of them lost video. i called tech center they made me trouble shoot, then asked me to change to a different transformer. I did and have the same result. Not to mention I had to wait on hold for an hour before some one came on the line. They have never offer to send me a New Unit.. All they want me to do it trouble shoot. Now they want each doorbell on it's own transformer. That really doesn't matter because I have one that works fine and the other doesn't work even when it's on the transformer by it's self. Lorex customer service is horrible. I still don't have a working doorbell!!!!!

Poor Technical and Customer Service Support.

Could not understand the person I was talking to (poor English). They would not allow me to ask the question I had. Rather, they just kept reading the instructions on how to install, ignoring my plea to ask a question. The person I spoke with truly did not care to help resolve my issue.

The person I spoke with at Customer Service was no better. Again, difficult to understand what they were saying. Not once did they ask why I was returning the item. They did not try to save the sale. Not a care in the world from the people representing Lorex.

issue viewing my cameras on mobile phone

I had an issue viewing my cameras on my mobile phone and the agent helped me out and it didn't take hours. My matter was resolved within 15 minutes. She was friendly and patient (I don't know a lot about technical stuff).

Excellent tech support…

We have had our cameras for a few years. Needed help recently and they walked me through it step by step. Very helpful and polite. All issues resolved promptly.

Not Worth the Money

Worked pretty well for a year or two. Then I stopped receiving notifications. No matter what settings I change, how many times I reset, uninstall and reinstall app, etc. it will not reliably send push notifications. It works very occasionally and sporadically. My cameras are tripped multiple times a day, and I haven't received a notification in over a month.
