User Reviews

The Lorex hardware is praised and viewed as solid, but the iOS app is repeatedly criticized for unreliability and lack of updates. Top issues include failed remote viewing, crashes after iOS updates, slow performance, limited camera visibility (often 4 of 8), and poor customer support. Users also gripe about having to manage multiple Lorex apps and a lack of ongoing compatibility with current iOS versions. Overall, the hardware shines while the app experience is consistently problematic.

Pros

High-quality Lorex camera hardware and surveillance systems that perform well when the app functions.
A single Lorex app can manage multiple NVRs, reducing the need to juggle several separate apps.
Longstanding hardware reputation; many reviewers note the cameras themselves are reliable and feature-rich when the system works.

Cons

App reliability is poor and inconsistent, with frequent remote-viewing failures across reviews.
App has not been updated to stay compatible with current iOS versions, leading to crashes and broken functionality after updates.
Remote viewing often does not work outside the local network, with many users requiring workarounds or reporting complete failure.
Performance issues like slow loading and playback further degrade the user experience.
Limited live view capability (often only 4 of 8 cameras accessible) and connectivity drops are commonly reported.
Customer support is described as poor or unhelpful, with long wait times and ineffective troubleshooting.
Multiple Lorex apps create confusion and frustration for users.

Recent reviews

Went from optimum to verizon 3.5 years ago and system is a complete failure. Called several times. They blame verizon. Ring cameras work perfectly. Call them now and they tell me i have to upgrade to a new system. Absolutely ridiculous on their part

Did you do away with it? I need it for my cameras I got 8 or so years ago that work great still, but if you did away with the app I’m screwed! I need it back please.

Cameras are quantity and the system itself is very good…when it actually works which seems to be only when you don’t really care. Have had a Lorex LNR280 for over 11yrs now. Had the entire system professionally installed (didn’t want to drill holes in my house for the cameras), this was pre-wireless days. At least 4x a year from day one the system will not connect. Restart your system, reboot Internet modem, all the basics they give you on the site and nothing. Generally takes 3-4 calls to “resolve” and by “resolve” I mean after your 3-4 call, once they’ve even remotely accessed your computer to fix it to no avail, eventually YOU the user end up just doing something they never suggested and “oh, ok, that worked.” Customer support is horrible although call wait times have gotten 10x faster to pick up compared to when first purchased (scary thought ain’t it?!) it got to the point that I just learned way more about this stuff then I ever cared to and do fixes myself. However, after my last fix (myself!) ~6mo ago, once again, only can view remotely monthly when I’m home and phone connected to my Wifi. I have 3 other systems up and running on my phone for different locations. One app that covers 5 different NVRs all together abs can honestly say I’ve never had to trouble shoot all 3 apps/systems (8 totally different locations; 2 not even in the same county) as long as they’ve all been installed as often as I do with this one on a yearly basis. Get it together Lorex!!!
