Lorex Ping 2 for Android
When I connect to a camera the video freezes and eventually the camera crashes and disconnects. I have to close the app completely to even try to reconnect. I'm returning the cameras and giving up on Lorex. Look elsewhere for IP cameras.
The app only works when I'm at home on the same WiFi network as the cameras. When I try to access the cameras while not on that network the app reboots my phone. Cust spt ignored my ticket asking for help. Useless.
Unreliable which is not what you want with a security system. My luck it's offline when I really need it to work. Go another route.
Lorex Flir ping 2 is crap it makes the pan and tilt camera absolutely worthless until they fix their apps I will not buy anymore of their products and I suggest you don't either
My only complaint is that I can't update firmware. It always states that it failed. Great connectivity and good resolution.
What happened to this app? Why just a black screen? Does not work anymore on my note 7
I'm sick and tired of lore cams going off line every frigging time!! Don't bother with loxex cams or this crappy Ping crap!!
I have 4 cameras set up. Cannot select the first and the last in "the list." Cameras disconnect while looking at them. One camera is stuck in "privacy mode" whatever that may be since there is no documentation.
Most recent update is not allowing pictures through. It says "this is an MIME encoded message" and tells you to download something to decode it. This needs to be fixed! Never had this problem before!
When it did it was so slow it was worthless. I bought a Lorex based on camera reviews but didn't know all the apps suck.
Took many attempts and still not working. Kept saying password not correct but was.... Now it's saying camera can't connect. Ugh!!
I can't even open the app to experience the issues everyone else is having.
P2 and 1 suck does not work at all now..get a new software developer
Slow response in record mode the audio nd mic don't work well either
Installed this on Nexus 5p, Marshmallow, it is not able to connect to wifi camera.
Software exits as soon as you attempt to add cameras.
It works well enough for what I want it to do, but the UI is gross and it could be a little more user-friendly with descriptions.
It's working quite well.. Just have to go into the settings to change how you are notified and to turn off the constant alarm.. Good camera..
No alarm trigger anymore.
Camera
I've been fighting with my nvr system now for over 7 months to try and get consistent notifications to my flir cloud app when someone pulls into my yard. Will not work no matter what. Now with this ping 2 they take away the alarm button are you serious? Worst camera company ever.
A building using the top and most expensive Lorex security hardware has dumped it outside the building for anyone that wants it to take it ! Yeah, Lorex is that incompetent. I have yet to go by one day where Lorex hardware did not crash. Lorex Ping 2 is also tablet unfriendly. Seriously, portait only ? The same model cameras in which some will update the firmware and others always give errors when trying to update. Not that the firmware does any good. If your purpose is mission critical. Such as babies or corporate, DO NOT use Lorex hardware.
Can't find my cameras. Only sees one of three and will not load video from that one. Seems like I'll need to manually install cameras for this new app to work. Why bother?
I downloaded this on my note 7 and every time I tried opening it, there was a black screen and nothing happened. I had it working fine on my note 5. Not sure what happened. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still nothing which makes my security not as useful because I can't check in from my phone if needed.
This app used to work great. Now, nothing works. I can't access my settings, I can't view any recorded video. Says the SD card isn't there. It also keeps telling me the camera is offline, when I know that it isn't. This app needs to be fixed, it makes the camera unusable.
Garbage APP. Over heats my phone just like the previous version. Every time I use this APP, my phone heats up crazy and this happened to all 3 phones I've had. Now with PING 2, I can no longer access my camera's alarms settings, APP keeps telling me that my cameras are in PRIVACY MODE. Called tech support to ask how to turn Privacy Mode, agent has no idea about this APP nor how to turn the Privacy Mode off on the LNC204 IP camera.
Will not connect. Keeps saying password error. I can connect to admin tools but no access for video streaming. Old app works fine.
Should leave the original ping alone. Ping 2 is worse than The Original Pubg! Slow, error...Stop asking me to update to P2. I want to continuing using the Ping 1. Too many problems on Ping 2.
Lame... I initiated the download from the constant nagging by Ping 1, but after downloading, all the cameras have to be setup again. I'm traveling and don't have the cameras around, nor do I want to spend hours reconfiguring each camera. Why not just have an import feature?
ping 2 has a privacy mode that is undocumented (settings - alarm notification - "This camera is in privacy mode").. i can no longer check, set, or change alarm triggers. Camera alarms configured with the old version 1 are still triggered BUT when you tap the alarm notification they only show up in the OLD version 1. no support or instructions appear to be available online. nice design, but how it works is a mystery to me.
WTF?? SIMPLY AWFUL!!! AN IDEA CONCEIVED IN IGNORANCE, POORLY DEVISED & INEPTLY PERFORMED. LOREX, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!
This app doesn't work as well as the old version, which only worked about 30% of the time for me. I regret buying Lorex cameras because their software is so bad.
So no alarms or adjusting those settings all I get is this camera is in private mode message come on fix this obvious bug!!!
The first had the alarm button this one doesn't please add the button or I have to go back to old app
App does not work at all. Now i cant get the old app to stop telling me to upgrade to this useless version
Just as bad, if not worse than the first. How is that possible. I'm stuck with this horrible system!
Lorex Ping 2 is not a ready for release developed and tested app...
This camera loses wifi then try an reset, forget it, hold the phone to get the code, it won't capture it and camera is not easy to get access to. I continually try an get it back online, gave up. Now, I can't reset a password via the app. This has been a nightmare.
Original app worked for a short period of time. Then after only a week or so. When I would view a current camera or attempt to add any. It would immediately close the app. This version has not addressed that issue. Would love to have a working app. Maybe I need to factory reset my phone... but how do I know this won't just happen again... New version doesn't work any better, soon as I tap + to add a camera, the app exits on me.

What a useless app. Constantly disconnects and now doesn't recognize any cameras. Poor poor support. Seriously don't waste your money on Lorex products. Read other reviews and then look elsewhere for surveillance products that actually do what they advertised.
