Hi there. I'm new here...I recently purchased Lorex FXC22BK cameras (2 WiFi Home Security Cameras with 2K Super HD Resolution, Two Way Audio, 40ft Night Vision (2-pack)) - 2 WiFi Home Security Cameras with 2K Super HD Resolution, Two Way Audio, 40ft Night Vision (2-pack) and installed them last night. I was surprised that the quality of the video isn't as good as I was expecting. Also, I'm not able to hear anything from the mic using the FLIR mobile app. The motion detection will start recording after 5-7 second. So, not a good cameras.

Can anyone recommend me the Wi-Fi cameras that I can install home, I need like 3 or 4 of them. Something that would have 2-way talk, great video quality, ability to record to sd (or cloud), motion alert and other options.

Thank you in advance.

The first one on the back of the sticker says it’s a 4mm lens the second one says nothing shame they don’t link the specific camera information so I would assume it’s a 2.8 mm but dont quote me on that
They could be both the same and it’s just the price

@marku2 I ordered one off of Amazon that had no lens information posted and a 4mm arrived. I didn't really care which arrived but now that I've played with it a while I would probably prefer a 2.8mm as a puppy cam in the living room. You'd get more flexible mounting spots where you could see the whole room. The 4mm isn't 90 degrees so it needs almost a perfect corner spot to catch most of the room. If it's not in the corner you miss a lot. A lot less barrel distortion with the 4mm though.

This is ridicules. All ANNKE 1080P IP Camera 2.0MP Wireless Cube Camera's comes with no power adapter. I have to buy it somewhere else. I wanted to order it on Amazon and check if I like it first, now I can't do it because there's no power adapter.

relax...it does in fact come with a power adapter - read the description....even if it did not, an adapter is a few bux...fyi most poe cameras do not come with adapters...amazon sells both power adapters and poe switches and injectors...grab a paper bag and breath..
What is troublesome is how you got this false information..

AS per the thread (NNKE I61DR 2MP (Hikvision Cube Clone)) I also am playing with this camera and am using Wifi at the mo.
When it gets moved, if it ever does, it will be hardwired and powered over POE, but at the mo Wifi is not causing any issue.

The only issue I have is that I cannot use the Smart Events, through my HIK NVR, that is after updating the Firmware too.

I received my two new cameras from Q-See Wi-fi 4K Costco (QCW4K1MCW16) yesterday: Costco Wholesale and I was surprised of the video quality. Even with the complete dark room the quality of the video is amazing. I didn't figure out much how to work with their Q-See Plus app for android yet and was wondering if there any other solution for me to view these camera's on my phone. Maybe there's some king of universal application...tried to call customer service, as I was expected they are useless.

Hi Michael72,

There should be several ways, many of the Q-see products I have seen at Costco clearly look like Dahua OEM products - and while I have not looked at the 4K indoor cameras from Dahua believe those also to be Dahua OEM.

Thus the first thing I would look at would be the Dahua apps and see if I can get it to work with them:
iDMSS & gDMSS | Dahua Technology - Dahua Technology
