I compared this systems' price/specs to everything I could find & nothing touches it for the money. It actually works pretty well. A few of drawbacks though ... There is a tiny bit of system noise (faint wavy lines, color distortion) ...The instructions of how to change the ports settings for port forwarding (for remote viewing) and which ones are critical is almost non-existent. The plastic on the cameras seems flimsy, I have no idea how long they will last once exposed to heat/cold/UV/moisture ... There is no way to defeat the infrared night lighting if the camera is used to view through a window ... that means a huge glare and is worthless at night. Also, it's really, really picky about using extension cables for distances over the included 60' cable. Spend the bucks and get one without a connector. Lastly & worst of all ... all the support appears to be outsourced ... That means communication issues, and they NEVER know the answer without putting you on hold for a "few minutes while they look up the answer". They're not very well trained at all. They are polite, if not very helpful. Since Lorex/FLIR doesn't actually build it, I can't say I'm surprised. What should be a five minute resolution, will take an hour ... literally! On the positive side, the night vision works exceptionally well compared to any system I've seen for even twice the money. Very impressive. The mobile software is a little slow to log-in, but once it does, it works really well. You really need a tablet for remote viewing when you have more than four cameras. Even with a Samsung Note phablet, the images with over four cameras is so tiny to be useless. The picture quality is a huge improvement over even 720p systems. I just don't see anything remotely competitive with this system within hundreds of bucks. Even with the few problems/complaints I've had, I'd buy it again.Read full review

The overall user friendliness is lacking. Also, the fan crapped out and had to be replaced twice. Last. it stopped working in less than two years. No idea what’s wrong with it.

The cooling fan quit working a little after one year. The system kept rebooting every 2 minutes. I wired this security system when I build my new house and it stopped working after 1 year. I red a few other reviews and it seems like the cooling fan is a common problem. I would not buy a Lorex security system again.
