Lorex 8 channel NR9082 4K home security system with 2 8MP 4K LNB8111B Bullet Cameras and 2 4MP 2K LNB4421B Bullet Cameras

Great video system for home security. Happy with camera quality and image quality/clarity.

Okay so far, it does the job

I have worked with systems like this before so my expectations of the software were already low, but this is absurdly bad.The one pro is the video is amazing if you can get it working at all, which is a moot point since it will can not actually be set to record the level detail you are paying for.Cons: o The built in interface is un-useable. Even Lorex support will tell you not to use it. o The web interface only works on browsers from three years ago. o The FLIR Cloud desktop app is so out dated even my two year old laptop is too NEW for it. o The FLIR Cloud desktop app they told me to use has not been updated since 2014. o Their own support web site was down for at least four days and there was no embarrassment about that, or urgency to do something. o FLIR Cloud Management app will not let you actually record 4k video. o FLIR Cloud Management app will not let you set it to record with H.265 compression. o Even if you can get H.265 working Lorex's desktop app does not support it so you can not view video with H265 compression. o The two cameras with the 30fps video are better, but anything moving is still burry so really only useful if the subject is perfectly still. o Due to all the limits of its actual resolution it still can not read license plates or clearly see a face more than 15ft from the camera, which again assumes they are not moving. o Motion detection can be triggered by a leaf blowing across the driveway, but does not pickup my car driving in. o Motion detection triggers in areas it is told not to monitor. o It lacks the processing power needed to process video, so when reviewing video it is common for it to freeze or cut out. o Does not have the intrusion detection or line crossing detection features that a lot of other systems do. Those work much better than raw motion detection. o Right out of the box it says it already needs a firmware update, but the web site does no show any firmware available for it. o Their apps software is un-signed so most operating systems by default will not install them without a lot of tricks o For some reason the account password has to be exactly 6 characters long. No more or less than that, or it will not work with their software, or connect to anything. o If you are able to figure out how to export video files you will get them as DAV files which almost nothing can play. o There have to be at least 4 different interfaces for PTZ controls, but only one of them works to control the zoom on the two cameras that have zoom-in.

DO NOT BUY..THE CAMERAS CUT OFF AND LOSE SIGNAL .
