- Is that egg watching me?
Turns out that's not an egg.
That's a Lorex 2K Pan and Tilt Indoor Camera
and it's a tiny version of the outdoor camera
we tested months ago on this channel.
It may be a bit ovate, but there's no cracks in its design.
It's dome shape allows the camera to move smoothly
side to side and up and down.
You can leave it on the shelf like I did or mount it
to the ceiling or wall.
All of this gives the Lorex 2K Pan and Tilt Indoor
a wider field of view, perfect for large rooms
and open areas.
Along with some of these smooth moves, it can react
to motion, sounds and people so you'll be able
to catch any action as it happens.
Like all of Lorex's cameras, the 2K Pan and Tilt Indoor
works with local storage and even comes with
a 16 GB micro SD card.
Or you can use your own up to 256 GBs.
This means that you can continuously record
or change the settings to record clips whenever
the camera catches action in the area.
I'll share a few clips and some of my favorite things
from the Lorex 2K Pan and Tilt Indoor Camera.
And if you enjoy this video or wanna learn more
about Lorex, check out our other videos
or subscribe to see our new ones every week.
Let me lay it out for you.
Lorex streams and records in clear 2K
but if you wanna save memory, you can save clips
in nine 960p or 1080p as well.
The 16GB micro SD card was enough memory for the time
that we had it up and rolling but for 24/7 live recording
you'll wanna upgrade to something with a little more space.
We put our camera in an area with plenty of natural
and artificial light, so the live stream and recorded clips
came out crisp and clear.
That said, if you plan to put yours in a spot with too much
or too little light you can add the HDR setting
to balance things out.
The camera also delivers a clear picture at night.
Here is my very messy living room and you can even see Toki
being taken by surprise by the camera's movements.
Recording, sharing and watching past videos from the camera
is all laid out on the camera app clearly.
Just press record and stop when you're done.
From there, you can share it with yourself or others.
There's also a snapshot option
if you wanna take still images.
In the events tab you can watch past clips
that the camera recorded.
It's two-way audio is easy to use from the app.
There aren't any audio settings so you won't be able
to turn up the speaker volume but you can turn the volume up
from your phone.
And with the tap of the mic button, you can speak
through the camera to anyone on the other side.
- [Katie's Voice From The Camera] Hi, this is Katie
from Safewise. This is what the Lorex 2K
Pan and Tilt Indoor Camera sounds like.
- Like it's outdoor cousin, the indoor version also has
Smart Track which follows any motion it sees.
This is an optional feature that you have to turn on
for yourself, but once it's active you can see the camera
watch your movements back and forth.
It's still in beta and has some catching up to do.
The camera doesn't react quickly enough to track
every movement, and it seems to work better for objects
farther away than really close up.
Personally, I like this feature more for an outside camera.
It might be helpful for pet parents but it still feels
a little invasive for inside the home
and that's where privacy mode comes in.
When you're comfy at home and all is well,
this feature puts the camera into a kind of sleep mode.
The lens turns down and the live feed turns off.
Just remember to turn it back on when you leave the house.
Sound detection in the Lorex app tells your camera
to keep an ear out for loud noises.
You can set this feature to listen for anything between
50 to 90 decibels.
While it's designed to listen for things like footsteps,
broken glass, shouting or anything that could be a threat,
I seem to get sound alerts for all kinds of things.
Music, passing cars, conversations, even my own sneezes.
It's not a foolproof way to keep every threat out of
your house, but it could be useful for nurseries
or kids' rooms during nap time.
Along with video quality, the big draw to any Lorex camera
is the local storage and this one is no exception.
With the camera, you'll get a 16 GB micro SD card to record
and save the video on but you can replace it with cards
up to 256 GBs.
Local storage keeps your saved video clips offline
and lets you skip the monthly fees that come
with cloud storage.
A bonus privacy feature Lorex ads for this is an
individual password for the device.
Local storage keeps your stuff offline but you still need
to connect to the internet for it to work.
This keeps anyone from watching your live feed.
Overall, I'd say the Lorex 2K Indoor Pan and Tilt Camera
is a great pick for beginners or those who just
want something really simple watching inside,
particularly if you're looking for a way to watch over
your kids, infants or pets.
That said, some of it's more unique features like
sound detection and Smart Track are easily fooled.
During my tests it reliably saved videos and was able
to record 24/7 and all of that in really high 2K quality
without monthly fees or holding cool features hostage
behind a paywall like other brands do.
But that said, sound detection tended to over report issues
and Smart Track has some incubating to do.
I'd like to thank Lorex for sending us this camera
