Lorex PoE Security Cameras… Are They Worth It?

I’m thinking about installing a video surveillance system in my home and was considering Lorex, especially since it’s a division of FLIR. But after reading a bunch of reviews, I’m seeing a lot of mixed opinions, and now I’m not so sure. I’m also a little concerned that Lorex is owned by a Chinese company, and I try to avoid using software tied to the CCP. Could the bad reviews just be due to installation issues? Does anyone have experience with other PoE systems they’d recommend? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

I bought an 8-camera system for one home and a 16-camera system for another. The NVR on the 16-camera setup failed just 2 months after the 1-year warranty expired. Lorex refuses to replace it, even though it’s clearly their faulty equipment. Save yourself the headache and avoid this brand.
