## Review summary

Across multiple reviews, the top issues are reliability and stability problems: crashes and video-loading errors; playback failures and missed footage; HD settings not persisting; recurring login/MFA prompts; and update-induced instability. Pros cited include mobile usability, solid camera hardware, and motion alerts.

### Pros

- Mobile app is usable on smartphones (iPhone and Android).
- Cameras themselves are great hardware and integrate with the Lorex system.
- Motion alerts/notifications help with monitoring.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and errors ('something went wrong') that prevent loading video.
- Video playback often fails to load or is laggy/misses footage.
- HD view settings do not persist and default to SD on each launch.
- Onerous login friction from MFA and auto-logout, causing delays during doorbell events.
- Updates frequently break functionality and reduce reliability (e.g., SD/HD defaults, crashes).
