Holy crap this was the most thorough and well-done review of a camera system I could have imagined. Damn dude, A+, thanks!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
There are only a few security cameras that this guy has not tested. So no wonder you felt that way as LifeHackster is the guru of this stuff!
Agreed!
Lorex should sponsor you. Your video is better than what they pay for....MUCH better.
I wanted to take a moment and say I really liked how you demonstrated this Lorex NVR system. Quick coverage of a lot of key features and quality of the cameras.
I actually skipped this video because I felt 20 minutes was too much for me. But after viewing other shorter videos I was still having questions. This video was very informative and the most educational. I should have started with this one....it would have saved me a lot of headaches. Thanks again for posting this
Your comment is to long for me to read so i just disliked it
Yes, you would have discovered just how crap these security cameras are. All the bullshit written about how sensational they are is blown out of the water simply by viewing this video.
God help us. When will someone manage to produce a decent camera system. We are in the 21st century aren't we???
Bless your heart
Maybe you should have just gone back and watched the 20 min video. Nothing happens over night.
guy just accomplished more in educating me in 5min of these videos then my past month of futile sifting of ads and garbage advice. appreciate the video great job
Thank you.
Best video ever. Saw it two years ago & sold me on the system. Have it setup & working fine.
Very professional & thorough video.
I love the license plate test, exactly what I wanted to know in a security camera video quality test. Great job LH!
I didn’t see this on here
My guy, this was the most thorough review of any product I have ever seen. This has really helped me decide if this system is the correct one to monitor my company property. Thanks man.
Debating on getting 2 cameras I need one for the front and back yard. North side front, south side gets back sun exposure. Ideally leave them inside and plugged in. Suggestions on a brand or brands that would work for my concerns. No lag between movements, leaves blowing creating false alerts, sunlight making the camera unable to see.
What an amazing, incredible
& informative unboxing! So
many insightful details given about install, function, with plus
& minus capabilities of this security system.
Damn, had to subscribe!
Best product review video I have ever seen. Nice job! You answered every question I had about this product.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Thank God, you and my cousin who recommended me this awesome product for a fraction of the price for amazon / google cameras
Fantastic video, this shows everything that you need to know about the cameras. Great job!!!
Great job, thorough review.
Just bought this system for my cottage.
Seems like it should work out fine...thank you.
Keep up the good work man. Love each and every detail
Excellent review! Answered many questions I have!!! Thank you for your time.
Thanks for the review. Great work. I appreciate all the effort you put into this.
Just viewed your clip, thanks I appreciate it.
Informative, clear & straight to the point.
Thanks
Great video. Thank you for sharing. My 4k Lorex fusion NVR is coming tomorrow in the mail.
Very good detail video! Your the best 👍
OUTSTANDING! Move to California; we need talented, knowledgeable, QUALITY oriented individuals!
Mahusay!
Very informative. Thanks Manong👍
Awesome demonstration! Thank you.😎
Nice review. I found this extremely helpful
Great review - it basically confirmed that this was not a camera system for me.
Excellent review and analysis! Liked and Subed, because you provided such a professional video, answered all the 5ws
Very informative. Thanks for doing this.
Thank you for a detailed video of the Lorex 4k Fusion camera system.
You are welcome.
Excellent video. Very informative.
This is an outstanding video tech review. Bravo!
Thanks for watching
Another excellent review. I'm shopping for one of the Lorex Fusion platforms vs the Eufy S3's and this really helped with the decision. Thanks a lot for putting these video reviews together.
Which one did you end up going with? In the same boat as you. Don’t know which one to go with…
Thank you for this excellent thorough review.
You are welcome.
thank you for video on lorex help me to decide what system to get
Wow. Thorough review and good depth. Convinced me that Lorex is the pro in the field (I looked at Arlo Ultra 2 videos and their 4k reso sucks). I don't need person, animal, package, camera, TV detection for $10/mt.
because it is Hikvision
@@weixu7557 Lorex is not the same as Hikvision.
Great review it helped with making up what NVR to purchase. Thank you 💚
Thank you so much for your video. It helped me understand some things.
LifeHackster! great video - like how you point out their (dis)advantage(s) objectively while pointing out your opinion too. Have you produced part 2 yet? I have troubles finding it and was actually looking forward to see it too..
like damn bro i hope somebodys paying you for your time cause you saved me alot!
I usualy dont comment on videos. But man this is very well detailed video.. great job
very detailed explanation about the cctv, thank you my friend
Very helpful video, thank you.
Goddamn I love this guy’s channel! Awesome content and great breakdowns.
Cleveland Williams, Thank you. I appreciate it
Great review, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Very informative ♥️
Great review video!! Thank you for sharing this! I also love the smart assistant features!
You are welcome.
@@LifeHackster was there a follow up video to this one? I thought you mentioned at the end there would be, but didn't see one on your channel
@@Matt_Hatt3r not yet because I’m waiting for the spotlight version of Reolink which I’ll be reviewing soon.
Very nice, thanks a lot!
That tree @ 12:55 looks like a locust tree with thorns that look like daggers! Love your videos, long time and permanent subscriber.
I have another model lorex 4k system that I have been happy with. I have a corner house, and on one side my house sits between 2 street lights so I can use color night vision with great clarity. On the other street it is very dark so I set those cameras on night vision. I was a little disappointed with some things like the audio and the ghosting, but some of the detection features were very cool! Can't wait for part two, maybe a comparison to Reolink? Thanks again for all of your hard work!
Yes, this camera definitely has ghosting issues and you have to check and test the camera you have that is in between the street lights and make sure it captures clear color footage during movement. I like the app responsiveness on the Lorex better than the Reolink plus it has rich notifications. I'll be comparing both systems soon.
@@LifeHackster Do you think the ghosting would be eliminated if you had additional flood lights illuminating the recording area? I'm considering getting this system, but I'm a little bit leery of the ghosting.
Thanks for making the video review of the Lorex camera. That was a great and thorough review! I just bought this same camera and was wondering if the features are good or not.
Is there a way to keep the flood lights on all night to get better color night vision?
Great video 🤙🏼
Great video!
Very good review.
the video I was looking for
Fantastic explanation...thank you
You are welcome!
Great review. Thank you.
I plan to get the current Lorax 4K NVR from Costco with eight 4K cameras plus you can hook up another eight WI-FI devices (camera, floodlight, doorbell).
Thank you again for this detailed review. 🙏👍
How do you like it so far? Any issues and would you get it again?
Have you set it up yet? I was also thinking about getting this one. Was wondering how you like it...
How is it??
very good explain . thank you
Good video thank you
Great video! Hit a lot of good points other videos don’t.
Thank you.
Love the license plate test. Would like to have seen that at night with the IR turned on!
great review...
Don't forget the snooze alert function for the second video. It works. Great.
Like to avoid getting a million notifications when you are cutting the lawn .
And the fact that you could lower the resolution to 1080p and get higher frame rate.
Thanks for the tip! and I'll be comparing this soon with the Reolink.
Good vid bro.
Excellent job. 💐🌹👍👏❤️💐
Thank you! 😊
That safeguard feature is pretty neat
It works pretty good.
@LifeHackster, finally, you have tested Lorex camera! Awesome and thank you
Just from the look of this video, I can tell it is better than my Reolink with 4 spotlights.
I still have to test Reolinks' spotlight NVR IP cameras
Majority of people mention Reolink on this video. Why you say Lorex is better?
@@runtime_engineer I’d like to know. Too
Good vid
Glad to see you trying out Lorax.
Not a big fan of Ring they are very intrusive on my privacy
Thanks.
Great Video, thank you for providing a review and so much needed information. I do have a question about a PoE system for my home. I would like your suggestion on a 6 camera system, 4k, night vision, and human and vehicle detection. Is there a specific system you would choose, thank you?
I like that product
Good info.
Thank you.
Love the reviews. I ended up getting this same model but with 6 cams from Costco that currently has a sale. Now I need a video on how to run/snake the wires and drilling. Subbed.
Hey, how do you like it so far? How’s the ghosting for night video? Would you recommend it after having this system? I’m thinking about getting one.
@@DatNguyen-ow3bc samee
??? How is it?
@@DatNguyen-ow3bc Night time does suck without any light source. There is a settings on the NVR itself that you can change to night time, it helps barely. I do like the system and app as a whole enough to keep it though. Nighttime sucks donkey without any light source.
Hey you mentioned you were going to compare to your reolink system but I didn't see that take place. I was looking forward to this as am considering doing the same
9:21 having to have a local monitor and mouse to make changes to NVR settings is very secure but also very archaic. I just bought this system and will be placing it in a cabinet in a property 30 miles away. So having to drive there and then having a monitor in a data closet is a major PITA. The data closet is the natural place to mount the NVR and many homes and businesses have no room for a monitor. My setup is going into a cabinet that is about 7 feet off the ground... to set the left behind and missing object settings, I will have to somehow connect a monitor and mouse to the NVR 7 ft above my head.
In todays world where many things are remote configured, Lorex needs a remote option via a web interface or proprietary software if desired by the user.
What an amazing video!! When you set the siren off and we were hearing the audio from the camera was it really that low? Looking to buy this bundle sometime today.
Thanks
My friend great video. Thank you for showing us the video and audio quality of this 4k fusion cameera Would you recommend a 4k reolink 8 camera system over this one? Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video, when is the next video instalment going to be released?
If you extent your patio: All the way to the corner (left of hose) to the window and at least 10-15ft out past your extended porch roof, put an outdoor kitchen in along with plenty of seating for social gatherings and hardscaped your perimeter, we would have an awesome RUclips back yard remodeling video.
Great Video! If you can make a video comparing Lorex with Reolink, it will be greatly appreciated. I can't find a single video on RUclips that actually shows the comprehensive, in-depth side-by-side comparison.
Great video, as well as others on your channel. Looking at NVR systems for my church, and even after watching a few of your videos, I can't decide between brands. I am looking at Reolink, Lorex, Zosi, and GW Security. Any general suggestions, or PROS and CONS of different brand 4k NVR systems?
I can’t decide between this and the reolink 4K both bundles with 6 cameras. They seem to be about $150 apart with lorex being more expensive. Is one better than the other? Which should I go with?
Can you go over how to set the motion settings to optimize true rather than false motion events? There are settings in the app and the NVR and within the NVR you adjust motion settings (with sensitivity and threshold options) or SMD motion settings with vehicle/person detection. I can't seem to make any improvements.
Would like to see what the comparison from the Reolink and Lorex.
This is an amazing review! How do you add their doorbell wifi camera to the fusion system? It's my understanding that the "fusion" system allows you to incorporate wifi cameras into the NVR system.
Also, does anyone know if you can pay for cloud storage that will allow you to see further back from a remote location using the desktop app or mobile app.
Hi I just brought this cams. It’s it normal that the housing cam gets warm .? Thanks
13:40 I screamed 😂💀😂💀I thought I was literally seeing a spirit but it was him.
Great video, and it made me feel better about my Costco purchase. Just picked up a Fusion system from Costco.
It came with a NVR, 4 bullet, and 2 dome cameras. I can't tell much difference in the 2 types of cameras, they both have the same specs. When would I want 1 type over the other? Also, I saw lots of negative reviews about the fan noise by the NVR. Did you find it was noisy?
Can you do a review of the older system. Lorex 4K ultra HD DVR system please.
would you know if you get notified if the camera goes offline? great review bud
One of the best reviews of a lorex!
Question: does the micro SD card allow for local storage? What does it do and how does it work?
Thank you.
The camera gets its power from the recording unit. If someone steals the recording unit from your home, and with the SD card installed on the camera itself, you'd have a backup of what was recorded by that camera before the recorder was disconnected.
@@BruiserFL thanks so much 🙏.
I have this. It’s pretty easy to setup but I didn’t know it had a micro sd card slot Until watching your video.
I know..Lorex doesn't even mention it in any of their documentation.
Best gaslighting toy ever!
Would you recommend this setup or a reolink complete system? Costco has the Lorex fusion with 8 cameras on sale for $699
Got pretty much the same thing with 8 cameras. App is ok (could be faster when playing back), but the browser using Mac Safari I can’t get to HD during Live play (only works on playback) -have you tried this?
Also, I can’t find fast forward (2x, 3x, etc) which my previous old Lorex had
I have reolink & I've bin wanting lorex 4k 12MP thanks
Great review, how loud is the NVR? Is the fan on all the time or only when the system needs to cool down?
Are multiple people able to receive notifications on the app at the same time?
Can 2 separate phones get notifications? I was told that Lorex only supports 1 person receiving notifications through the app.
@LifeHackster I enjoy your videos a lot. I am looking for cameras to install in my house, in your opinion, which one would you recommend - this lorex fusion one or reolink 811a ?
Wow night vision is useless on these for people detection! great review!!
Your verbal cadence remind me of Guga from "Sous Vide Everything" (consider that a compliment)
@LifeHackster, when there was a object dection or missing notification, could you see the thumbnail view like the human/vechicle dection alert? If you click the object dection or missing notification, could you see the buffered video like the human/vechicle dection alert too?
