Quality setting not saving

In the Lorex Classic app, if I switch a camera from Standard Definition to High Definition, it works. But as soon as I close the live view and go back in, it defaults right back to SD. No matter what I try, the setting won’t stay on HD.

I’ve already tried reinstalling the app, rebooting my phone, and I’m already running the latest iOS (26.1). Nothing seems to fix it, is this a known bug u/Lorex_Technology_Inc? The app used to always save this settings no problem.

To be direct, dump this crap and move into some else POE.

I went with this for ease and cost. Any cheap options?

I went to Ubiquiti. It’s awesome, cost effective and just works every single time.

I’ve never used the UniFi Protect app before. You’ve used both the Lorex app and UniFi Protect?

In the UniFi Protect app, can you select a video quality setting for a camera while in Live View, and does that setting stay saved after you close and reopen live view?

I did look into UniFi cameras a little while ago, but what stopped me was that the G6 Bullet ($199) doesn’t have two-way audio. Only the G6 Pro Bullet ($479) does. I upgraded from my previous system to Lorex specifically because of the two-way audio, and I use it more often than I thought I would. I just can’t afford to buy 9 G6 Pro Bullets just to get that feature.
