Quick and simple to set up,
This camera really works fantastic for the most part. I am not impressed with the motion detection but. I suspect the problem with the motion detection might be how I am using my camera. I have it mounted in my window looking out monitoring the approach to my door. The camera will not detect a person but will detect the change in light. I suspect the fact that I am trying to use the motion sensor through glass is the problem. infrared does not always play well with glass. I have not tried testing it any other way because motion sensing was not all that vital to me. During my testing the camera was set up to email me and it did a fantastic job at doing that at dawn when the sun started to come up and at dusk when the sun went down and at night when the headlights of a passing car were detected. This was with both PIR and motion activated. The onboard IR light is worthless if you are mounting this camera to look out a window. All it will do is light up the glass nice and bright and not allow you to see anything. This was not a surprise at all and I did not expect it to work through the glass. This camera is nice but it cannot perform magic. If you are using this monitor spaces inside a building I suspect this camera and its PIR & motion sensing will make you very pleased.
I also have a NAS and the camera does connect to it and I have 7 days worth a video recording and the video is overwritten after 7 days. I am also using a SanDisk 32GB Micro SD card for recording video and that works fantastic as well. I was so pleased with this camera that I finished up getting a total of 7 cameras. After getting all 7 of them set up I did have some stability problems that I needed to work through. The cameras were losing connection and it was very frustrating. The solution was to allow the cameras to automatically handle resolution and frame rate. If I remember correctly that is the default setting but I had changed that on all of them. Once I did that all the cameras stayed connected. I was able to run 6 cameras at a higher resolution and frame rate with no problems but adding the 7th camera pushed my WiFi over the edge. The more cameras you add the slower the frame will be.
The Lorex Ping android app also works fantastic so I am able to check all seven cameras from work with ease. I have one camera that has the microphone activated and I am able to listen to what is going on using this app. I have not played with the speaker and alarm option and do not plot to so I have nothing to say about that.
All in all this is a fantastic small camera that is really simple and quick to set up and not all that expensive. The image quality is brilliant and I am impressed with the cameras ability to see in low light situations without the use of IR but there does need to be some ambient light.

dismal post sales support,
The product may be excellent, only time will tell, but I would not recommend nor buy again simply based on the 180 degree difference between pre-sales and post-sales support. Once they sell you, you become a nuisance they've no time for.
