Cloud Storage Security Cameras

Cloud Storage offers an easy and secure way to keep your recordings protected off-site. Even if your device is damaged or removed, your important events remain safely stored in the cloud and accessible.

Choosing the Right Smart Home Setup 

No two homes are alike. Explore how different smart home devices can work together to create a more connected, convenient, and secure living experience.  

Small Homes & Apartments

Smaller spaces benefit most from simple, essential coverage. A video doorbell helps you see visitors and manage deliveries, while one or two indoor cameras let you check in on pets, kids, or daily activity. This setup keeps things straightforward while still giving you reliable peace of mind when you're away.

Single-Family Homes

With more entry points and outdoor space, single-family from additional coverage. Outdoor Wi-Fi cameras can monitor driveways, side yards, and backyards, while indoor cameras and a doorbell help you stay aware of what’s happening throughout the home. This creates balanced protection inside and out.
 

Larger Properties

Bigger homes and properties often require layered security. Floodlight cameras illuminate and deter activity around darker areas, outdoor Wi-Fi cameras extend monitoring across the perimeter, and doorbell cameras and smart locks can help manage entry ways. Combined, these devices provide wide-ranging visibility and control across your entire property.

Smart Home Use Cases

Check In Anytime

Make sure kids got home safely, see if your pet is okay, or simply check that everything looks normal while you’re away.

Front Door Awareness

See who’s there before answering. Manage deliveries, screen visitors, and respond without opening the door.

Active Outdoor Protection

Get notified of motion, deter intruders with floodlights or sirens, and stay aware of what’s happening around your home. 

Travel with Confidence

Whether you’re out for the day or across the country, your home is never out of reach.

Rental & Guest Managment

Smart locks and cameras make it easy to manage access and keep an eye on rental properties. 

Elderly Care & Safety

Check in on aging loved ones at home with live viewing, alerts, and two-way communication.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a smart home security camera?

A smart home security camera connects to your Wi-Fi and lets you monitor your home from anywhere using a mobile app. These cameras are considered “smart” because they use intelligent features—like motion alerts, two-way talk, night vision, and AI detection—to keep you aware of activity indoors or outdoors. Many models also integrate with smart home platforms such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home for hands-free voice control.

Do smart home cameras need Wi-Fi to work?

Yes, smart home cameras require Wi-Fi for setup, live viewing, notifications, and remote access. Some models can record locally to a microSD card without Wi-Fi, but you’ll need an internet connection to access footage from your phone or receive alerts.

Do Lorex smart home cameras require a subscription?

Most Lorex smart home cameras do not require a subscription. They include or support a microSD card slot for local video recording, giving you private, subscription-free access to your footage. (MicroSD cards are not included with all models.)

Can I mix different Lorex smart home devices together?

Yes. Many Lorex smart home devices can be managed together if they use the same app platform, either Lorex Connect or Lorex Classic.

What’s the difference between wired and wireless (Wi-Fi) security cameras?

Wired security cameras connect directly to an NVR or DVR for constant power and recording. Wireless cameras use Wi-Fi for connectivity and app control, offering easier installation and flexible placement.

How far can a wireless security camera be from my Wi-Fi router?

Most Wi-Fi cameras work best within 50–100 feet of your router, depending on walls and interference. For larger homes, adding a Wi-Fi extender or mesh network can improve signal strength and help cameras stay connected.

How do i install smart home security cameras?

Smart home security cameras are typically installed by mounting the camera, connecting it to power (such as an AC adapter, existing electrical wiring like doorbells or hardwired floodlights, or a battery) and pairing it to your Wi-Fi using a mobile app.

Are Lorex smart home cameras secure?

Yes. Lorex smart home cameras use secure device pairing, end-to-end encryption, and local microSD storage to protect your data. Cloud storage, when used, is also encrypted and stored on secure servers to ensure your recordings remain protected.

Can smart home cameras record without internet?

Most Lorex Wi-Fi cameras can continue recording to a microSD card even if the internet goes down. While you won’t receive mobile alerts or have remote access during the outage, recordings are stored locally and can be viewed once the connection is restored.

Where should I place smart home cameras?

Indoor wireless cameras are ideal for living rooms, hallways, nurseries, and entry points. Outdoor wireless cameras should cover driveways, porches, walkways, side yards, and backyard areas. Floodlight cameras work best near garages or dark corners that need illumination and detection.

Where not to install security cameras?

Avoid placing security cameras in private areas where people reasonably expect privacy, such as bathrooms, bedrooms, or inside changing areas. Outdoors, do not position cameras directly into your neighbor’s windows or private spaces, as this can violate local privacy laws.

Do wireless security cameras support continuous recording?

Wireless security cameras may support continuous local recording, but they are typically designed for motion-based recording to manage storage more efficiently. Cloud subscriptions support event-based recording only.

Are smart home cameras weatherproof?

Outdoor Lorex Wi-Fi cameras and floodlights are rated for year-round use with weather-resistant housings. Always check the product’s IP rating to ensure it matches your climate and installation needs.

Are Lorex smart home devices compatible with smart assistants?

Select Lorex smart home devices support Amazon Alexa™ and Google Assistant™ for features like live viewing and basic voice controls. Compatibility varies by model, so always check product specifications for details.

What happens if someone steals my camera?

For cloud-storage cameras, recordings saved to the cloud remain accessible even if the camera is removed. For cameras that record only to local storage, footage stored on the device may not be recoverable if the camera is taken, which is why secure mounting and optional cloud backup are recommended whenever possible.
