4K sharpness gets you the details you need

Thanks to the camera's powerful 8MP image sensor, you'll experience the difference that 4K resolution makes when it comes to your security. 4K means there are more than 8 million pixels, and that results in sharper video, realistic color representation and superior digital zoom capabilities.

Person and vehicle smart motion detection

Person and vehicle smart motion detection

Your cameras come with advanced person and vehicle detection on up to 8 channels that helps identify more important objects that enter the camera's field of view. Thanks to this innovative feature, you will only get a push notification and image screenshot to your Lorex app whenever a person or vehicle is detected on your property. This effectively reduces the number of unwanted false alerts caused by moving branches or animals. All recorded motion alerts can easily be reviewed by using the Smart Search function in the Lorex mobile app.

security system with motion detection
deterrence security camera

Stop trespassers in their tracks with Smart Deterrence

Super bright LEDs, a remotely triggered siren, and two-way audio make this security camera an extremely valuable asset to your IP security system. For example, the LED lights can be customized to always be on or triggered by motion. You can also choose a strobe light setting, in addition to setting a schedule for when the deterrence LEDs should automate. The remote-triggered siren is also designed to stop trespassers right in their tracks. When motion is detected within the sensor range, the system sends an alert to your Lorex app, allowing you to remotely access the camera and set off a loud siren to deter crime.

two way audio 4K security camera

Listen-in Audio and Two-Way Talk

A built-in speaker and microphone allows for crystal-clear audio functionality. Listen-in audio recording will add a whole new dimension to your overall security monitoring, as it can provide additional details (like a voice) should an incident occur. This camera also has a speaker that allows you to communicate with others through the camera through the Lorex app. *


*Audio recording is disabled by default. Audio recording without consent is illegal in certain jurisdictions. Lorex Technology does not assume liability for any use of its products that fails to conform with local laws.

Color Night Vision security camera

Full-color video, even at night

With the help of some external lighting, these cameras will use our revolutionary Color Night Vision™ (CNV) technology. This will produce full-color video during the night, provide a further level of detail (the color of clothes or cars, for example), and add increased contrast for easier detection and recognition of people and objects.

Infrared Night Vision security camera

Long-range IR night vision

In regular nighttime conditions that are too dark for CNV to render full-color images, this camera will use it's infrared LEDs to record crisp black and white video footage up to 150ft (46m) away and up to 98ft (30m) in complete darkness.

HDR security camera

Capture the best images with HDR

These cameras use HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology to ensure every important detail is captured, regardless of the lighting conditions. HDR automatically adjusts the brightness in areas that are either too dark or too over-exposed to decipher details. The result is improved, highly detailed video footage that looks uniform throughout.

HEVC 4K IP security camera

H.265 / HEVC encoding

Your security camera and NVR are both equipped with High-Efficiency Video Encoding (HEVC) or H.265 video compression. This encoding technology efficiently compresses file sizes. In fact, it can compress file sizes up to 50% more than files using the previous encoding technology (H.264), without any noticeable degradation in quality. HEVC encoding will also save you plenty of bandwidth while watching live or recorded video remotely.

weatherproof 4K smart IP camera

Built for the outdoors

While this camera is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, it has been especially designed to withstand the harsh impacts of nature. It has an IP67 rating, meaning it can tolerate extreme temperatures ranging from -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C). It also has a durable, all-metal sheath for added protection.

Panic button

This NVR brings your security camera system to the next level with an easy-to-use panic button located on the front of the recorder. By pressing and holding this button you can activate all lights and sirens on your compatible Active Deterrence cameras at one time to deter potential intruders.

Plug-and-play simplicity with Power over Ethernet technology

PoE technology for simple plug-and-play installation

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology is an all-in-one solution that cuts cost and installation time. A single cable run between your NVR and IP camera provides both power and video transmission so you don't have to install your camera near a plug.

4K vs 1080p pixels

Area search

Find what you are looking for quickly with Lorex's Area Search. Select an area of interest and automatically playback any video footage showing scene changes in that area. Ideal for doorways, drive ways, etc.

security certified NVR hard drive

Reliable security-grade hard drive preinstalled

A 3TB security grade hard drive (expandable up to 2 × 8TB) comes preinstalled within this NVR. Designed to meet the high workload demands of continuous security monitoring, this heavy-duty hard drive can reliably record weeks (even months) of footage without taking a break. All recorded footage is then safely stored on the hard drive where only you can access it, so there are no surprise fees or monthly cloud subscriptions.

Two storage bays

This NVR comes with two separate hard drive bays. Each of which can be upgraded with a hard drive up to 8TB, giving you the potential for a total of 16TB's of storage space. You can also use the second hard drive to record videos in parallel with the primary hard drive. This way, the footage is automatically backed up if the recording hard drive fails

with or without internet

With or without the internet

This NVR can be used without being connected to the internet. This means that your data can only be accessed directly from your NVR. However, an internet connection is required to enable remote viewing, motion push notifications, and to download the latest firmware updates.

Reviews

This camera system has everything

"This camera system has everything I wanted and some more! The quality of the picture from the cameras, even when watching it remotely on my phone, is crystal clear. The app is easy to use and it gives my wife peace of mind when she's home. The cameras are barely noticeable and subtle but offer enough "you're being watched" attention to deter anyone from doing anything nefarious. The install process is easy as ever with simply running wires and plugging them into the DVR. This is my 2nd Lorex system and it's the only system I recommend to my friends and family. I can see this system lasting a very long time."

The title of my review

"The title of my review speaks for itself. I did my homework and researched just about every system out there and it came down to Lorex and a few other competitors for best advertised bang for your buck without having to signup for a yearly or monthly service charge. And I am glad I went with Lorex. All cameras are top notch built out of aircraft aluminum and when you put them in your hand, they even feel like a solid product. This was validated after setting everything up and reviewed the footage. Everything was trouble free, with the exception of one camera that I discovered that went bad just before I installed it. I don't know what happened to it, since I tested the cam prior to install, but I called customer service and they exchanged the camera after only a few questions. They did this the most convenient way possible by sending me the new one first after initiating the RA number, then I shipped the bad one back in the same packaging which already included postage. So I am attest to the customer service as being good as well. The NVR system is top notch as well with plenty of features that took minimal setup time because each camera basically set itself up. All I had to do was learn how to setup the motion detection options, with minor tweaking after putting the cameras to use. The system package I chose was the 4KSDAI168, which is still available at huge discount. It comes with the NVR system N861D63B which allows up to 16 channels. It also came with 8 Bullet 4k cams E891AB, of which have excellent LED and nitetime IR illumination with plenty of options for motion detection, SMART motion detection and talk back features. I also added two 2k dome PTZ cameras, which I have no complaints over except that I wish they had them available in 4k. There are also applications available to view and change settings remotely, without having to sign any yearly contract. They aren't perfect apps, but they do a good job while you're away, and the quality and speed of the video is only limited to the connection you have while working remotely. Some good advice is to setup a second IP data stream at a low resolution so that remote viewing plays back a lot faster, for a little sacrifice in streaming quslity. I plan on purchasing about 4 more cams in the near future to cover some areas inside the house, especially to watch and communicate with our dogs when we are away from the home. Summary - I give this company 5 Stars for quality, 5 stars for customer service, and 5 stars for value!"

Product has been up and

"Product has been up and running now for 3 months. Plug and play install, powerful interface, quality construction. I would definitely buy this again and recommend to other home owners. The POE is the way to go - less wires, less installation hassle. Cameras provide very clear surveillance in all lighting conditions. I did expect the audio feature would be more robust - there's a significant delay - but is adequate to monitor the kids when they're in the backyard playing. While the smart motion detection is good, the algorithm could use some improvement - tree shadows in the driveway and backyard often send a "person detected" alarm, or even sometimes a vehicle detection."

These are the best effin

"These are the best effin cameras, bro. Too bad they aren't selling this package anymore for the rest of yous. Got this deal for under $1200 with the Solar sign for the yard, the nvr lock box and system. It was more than worth it. The microphones work just fine ... don't know what the ish is in Dustins cereal. It did take about 12 hours to install as I was quite meticulous and choosey about where I put what. The lock box is awesome! It is very sturdy and heavy and the fan on it does make some noise I will agree but it is not an upending noise it is just a discernable whirring/hum. I like the zoom feature and they came packaged immaculately. I was super impressed with the presentation and delivery of the product. I haven't had a single issue since installing them in May and am excited to say I am the owner of a Lorex system and that it is payed off and working as intended. I love you Lorex. I'm sorry about your stock price back in February Flir Systems! You guys were doing amazing before all of this!"

These microphones don?t work very

"These microphones don?t work very well. They are very low but in quit conditions they work. The worst thing about these cameras is the customer service. It?s outsourced to India and its like I?m talking to a recorded machine. They read off of a paper for every rebuttal or question. It?s the most annoying thing when your trying to get your cameras working in the manner you need them to"

— Dustin (2/5)

OK, so this is my

"OK, so this is my third security system. Its been over 15 years from my first attempt. Finally the technology is pretty mature and Lorex 8MP cameras represent a really good sensor using 4K signals. The daytime images are really good. Night low light is still a challenge but better than past cameras. The setup and interface is much more user friendly and it looks like Lorex put some thought into the product. Will see how the 3TB hard drive works with 9 8MP cameras plus a 2K PTZ... would like to have seen a 4K PTZ but did not see on in the line up. Replaced my old coax/DC power cables with the Cat 5e and am really happy with power over the ethernet...no more image jitters with power supplies. Also moved my system from basically hidden to now use one of my available 4K TVs... much more convenient. Am looking at the playback and snapshot features and am a little puzzled... Don't think i got a manual other than the quick start stuff"

— Chris (5/5)

Setup was very easy. Just

"Setup was very easy. Just plugged in the cameras to do a quick test and every camera came right up. After the difficult task of running the wires through my low gabled roof, I started hooking the cameras outside and everything was immediately working. Working through getting all the special motion sensing took a little bit of a learning curve but some of the online help videos guided me along figuring it out. I am still a bit confused with all the different apps, between lorex home, lorex cloud and the pc app vs just using the DVR itself. I am very happy with the overall product and quality of both video and audio recording. I also added a 2nd hard drive and that was so very easy! Only thing that bothers my wife a bit is how noisy the fan in the unit is, but I have heard that same complaint with all these NVRs. I would buy same system again!!"

— John R. (5/5)

The system works great. My

"The system works great. My only complaints are that the cooling fan in the NVR is so loud that it keeps my wife up at night, so I'm having to relocate it. Also, the cameras get really hot, so hot that I can barely keep my hands on them. I'm not an expert on this but I don't think that's normal... or safe."

— David (3/5)

I am very happy with

"I am very happy with this system so far. The image quality is superb, and having PoE opens up new connectivity options that are not available with BNC-style cameras. I would definitely recommend this system to others!"
