Easy to install, great quality system. If you want a great security system for a reasonable price, this is the product for you. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend. I now have peace of mind knowing that my house is under 24 hour surveillance. Way to go Lorex!

These cameras are easy to set up and provide a great sense of security. Some kids recently shot paint balls at our house, and we were able to see that it was the neighbor's kid and his friends who did it by replaying the footage on the cameras. Highly recommend!

I purchased this unit after lots of research online, about 2 weeks worth. I was looking at systems that were affordable but want to make sure that I had no regrets, so I spent double of what I first planned to spend.



With 17 years in the telecommunication industry, it was a breeze to install. The DVR was online, sending photos, and streaming to (2) Android smartphones, (1) iPad, and (1) Android tablet in no time.

Made changes improving video quality, (mainstream and sub stream), little tweaks here and there all was well for over a month. I started to make a few more changes to improve video quality, (more bandwidth) and the DVR would lock up. I would then reboot the DVR and put the video settings back. Then after a couple of weeks the DVR would lose internal network connection while watching through a browser. Up to 68 times in 24 hours for 1 to 8 minutes each time.



With confirming a solid gigabit home network, I reset the DVR to factory default. Then changing the settings right away, all is good. No network reboots for over a month. With it probably being a small firmware glitch, I have no concerns now or in the future.

I chose this unit mainly for the cameras temperature operating range. Winters here can get quite cold. At this moment I cannot comment on how the cameras work in the cold / frigid weather, but I probably will update the review in the future.



The unit is very easy to upgrade the hard drive. SATA and power connections are already connected to the motherboard, it just awaits a new HD. With the unit having a 500Gig hard drive, I added a 1.5 Terabyte “green” hard drive. Case fans are a bit loud, but not too much of a concern.



As always, put the DVR on a UPS. Not just for security reasons, but also to condition the line, (brownouts, spikes, etc.).

This is a great peace of mind and I cannot see our future homes without a security camera system.



I will purchase Lorex products again.

this is the best camera system for me, i can see my house from my phone from anywhere and is super clear quality image.

i love it

I have been looking for a security system for my business. I wanted one that ha enough cameras, high volume memory, and something I could view on my phone or computer when away from the business. This met all the requirements but it's the customer service that I received that exceeded my expectations. They were able to get me hooked up remotely so I could view from my phone. Thanks Lorex!

Bought this for my home. I have a commercial system at my business that I paid 4 time more for and the Lorex outperforms it.

Very nice

I can view my house all time with my I phone

Easy to work

Just a quick note, more later. I've installed and I'm using 6 of the 8 cameras. I'll install the other two shortly. All the cameras are installed outdoors in a sheltered location. I took the time to run electrical conduit, to hide and protect the wires and for essestic reasons. I'm still tweaking the system. I can watch remotely, receive email of breeches. The pictures I receive are fabulous. Once I've installed all the cameras, I'll call Lorex for assistance with final setup. A great system.

I tried other brands and this is the one that gave the best performance and value. The remote configuration is reliable and easy to configure, it does require some basic knowledge of how to confiure your router.

I purchased the Lorex ECO2 16 system and it's exactly what I was looking for to secure my home and know what's going on even while away. I recommend doing your own research on hiring your own installer so that you can gaurantee getting the professional service and quality installation for the money you pay.

My recently installed Lorex ECO2 16-Channel security system has met my expectations and more. Having the lower res cameras in the past has left me wanting a better picture for some time. The set up of the system was simple and intuitive. Access to the various features and settings is easy to do after crusing through the menu a couple of times. Setting the alarm area for each camera was simple. A novice can install and set-up this system with little to no problem. the connectors on the recorder and cameras are straight forward. The overall system is, in my opinion, an excellent value. I'm going to purchase another system for a friend of mine so she can enjoy the same level of security I am now enjoying.
