1080p HD video for crisp, detailed footage
Experience the difference that full 1080p HD video makes. Our advanced cameras use standard coaxial cable to carry high definition 1080p (1920×1080) video to your HD DVR. This resolution ensures detailed live viewing and recording that leaves nothing to the imagination.
Person and vehicle smart motion detection
This system supports smart person and vehicle detection on all channels. Thanks to this innovative feature, you will only get a push notification and image screenshot to your Lorex Home 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.
Long range night vision
Long range night vision

The integrated infrared cut filter switches on and off between day and night, ensuring accurate color reproduction in all lighting conditions.
