Otherwise, they're great cameras, get good resolution and easy to adjust and set up. I got these security cameras and even though the DVR that goes with them has space for an audio input, these cameras do not record audio at all. I didn't find that information in any of the product infos so i just wanted to let others know.
The mount leaves little to be desired and I recommend some thread locker on the threads as they tend to come loose and as they are mounted over 20' up in the air it can be a hassle digging out my ladder.Night mode operates pretty well and can hit the entire cul de sac at night with only a street light illuminating the street. Color wise this camera really lacks compared to my less expensive cameras and in fact this camera resembles a B&W camera most of the time even though it supposed to switch to night vision B&W mode at night only. this unit. This has been with all 5 cameras of this brand and I have adjusted the various tone, brightness, and saturation levels to no avail.
I purchased this camera to add to my existing 6 camera home CCTV system which consist of a 240fps video capture card on a Intel Q6600 equipped CCTV computer.I purchased two of these units (not from Amazon though their price is better) and so far I had to replace 1 of them twice and the other once so I am dismayed at the long term durability as none have lasted longer than 4 months. This would be the cameras saving grace however I am still on the hunt for another camera as replacing cameras up on the roof atop a 20' ladder is not what I call exciting or safe and so far I have had to do this 3 times above the installation.I emailed Lorex a few times on my concerns and have yet to receive a reply so as long as your expectations are not too high then you will not be disappointed with the company or product.I have since supplemented my system with a camera from Wisecomm which I much prefer and so far that unit has held up very nicely with real color reproduction. The lens cover slips over the unit and works well and stays on even in windy conditions. Both are used outdoors and protected from the rain under my homes eave.
My other cameras which cost half have considerably better color output vs. PROSGood resolutionNice lens coverGood resolutionCONSNot reliableVery poor color Image resolution for this unit is higher than most cameras under $200 and the resulting image quality is pretty decent, however two of the biggest flaws are poor color and aforementioned durability. Green colors look nowhere like green and red does not resemble anything close to red.
Excellent attitude of Amazon.com that shows to the responsibility of the company that cares for for their customers.
