Lorex vs Eufy Security Cameras Compared (2024)

The Eufy cam has a bullet-type chassis with a solar panel integrated into the roof. As such, it can directly draw power from the solar panel and rechargeable batteries.

Also, Eufy guarantees that the camera can run indefinitely. However, the solar panel must receive at least two hours of continuous sunlight.

Both cameras support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. However, the Lorex camera takes it further and includes 5GHz support.

For storage and regular operation, the Lorex camera needs to connect to a wireless hub. You can then insert a Micro SD card into the hub for local storage. Meanwhile, the Eufy camera has 8GB of embedded storage.

The Lorex camera has an IP65 rating. The Eufy camera has an IP67. Both are water-resistant ratings, but only Eufy’s IP67 is certifiably weather-proof.

Both cameras have the triple threat of audio features built-in. These include recording audio, two-way communication, and a siren built in. As such, the cameras can stitch audio to the footage, deter intruders, and talk to whoever’s on the other end.

Both cameras can also carry out full-color night vision. They do so via the spotlight and rely on infrared as a backup or low-power solution.

Both cameras can perform person detection. Also, they support Alexa and Google Assistant for smart home integration.

Both cameras have support for 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. However, as before, the Lorex cameras support 5GHz Wi-Fi as an additional feature.

Also, only the Lorex camera can afford audio-based features. These include two-way communication and a built-in siren.

Lorex camera needs to connect to a wireless hub. However, only the Eufy device includes direct cloud storage. For the Lorex camera, you can connect it to a Lorex Fusion NVR for additional storage.

Also, both cameras can carry out person detection. However, the Lorex camera comes out on top again, as it can also detect vehicles.

Both cameras use a 4MP sensor. It allows them to record at a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1440. They’re also fixed-focus lenses with a steady FOV of approximately 114°.

Both devices include spotlights for active deterrence. However, you can also use them to aid the color night vision feature for short video clips.

Also, both cameras tend to have weather-resistant IP ratings. The Lorex camera is IP65-rated, whereas the Eufy is IP67. Therefore, if you hope to install them outdoors, you can easily do so.

The Lorex 2K video doorbell is slightly more expensive than the Eufy 2K doorbell. However, the added cost is not unwarranted because it supports dual-band Wi-Fi; hence, the 5GHz Wi-Fi band.

Also, it has a siren/alarm system built into the video doorbell itself, supports continuous recording, processes footage using digital WDR/HDR, and has retrievable MicroSD storage and NVR support. Meanwhile, the Eufy 2K video doorbell includes none of the above. (It uses an eMMC that only acts as a buffer when uploading footage to the cloud.)

However, the Eufy 2K video doorbell’s lower price tag doesn’t mean that it is entirely defeated. It has face detection, a feature that is almost essential nowadays in video doorbells. The Lorex 2K video doorbell has only person detection.

As you might have guessed, both cameras record footage at 2K resolution (2560x1920). Other than that, they both have infrared night vision, with neither of them supporting full-color night vision.

Both the Lorex and Eufy 2K video doorbells support motion-activated recording, and they also include an IP65-rated (splashproof) enclosure, which is more than enough for a video doorbell.

The Eufy floodlight Cam 2 Pro is priced at almost twice that of the Lorex 2MP floodlight security camera (V261LCD-E). However, this price gap is, in our opinion, justified since it has a motorized lens with 360° panning (The Lorex camera has a fixed 137° FOV), 2K recording, and person detection algorithms.

That said, the Lorex 2MP floodlight camera is no slouch. It has microSD card support, continuous recording abilities, and the ability to integrate with Alexa, Google Assistant, Chromecast, and Fire TV. The Eufy camera has only Alexa and Google Assistant.

Also, the Lorex dual-floodlight setup has 4,000 lumens of maximum brightness, whereas the Eufy floodlight has only a 3,000-lumen peak brightness.

Both Lorex and Eufy have designed their floodlight cameras to work at a distance; hence, they have agreed to limit both their cameras to 2.4GHz. (Without going overboard with 5GHz.)

The three audio-based systems are also set up in both of these camera systems, allowing you to record footage with audio, talk to whoever is on the other end, and sound the siren to deter intruders.

Also, both cameras have spotlight-assisted full-color night vision, with infrared as a backup option. Lastly, they both include IP65 ratings, which is quite decent for a camera that’s supposed to cover your home perimeter.
