4K Network Video Recorder
Experience the 4K difference
With 4K resolution, nothing is left to the imagination. The higher number of pixels (3840 × 2160 as opposed to 1920 × 1080) gives your video footage superior detail and definition, and clearly outlines the distinct features of objects that appear on camera while maintaining realistic color representation. Having more than 8 million pixels also prevents the distortion or blurring of the image when using the digital zoom.
Person Vehicle Artifical Intelligence AI detection security camera
Person and vehicle smart motion detection
This NVR supports cameras that feature smart person and vehicle detection which helps identify more important objects that enter the camera's field of view*.

All recorded motion alerts can easily be reviewed by using the Smart Search function in the Lorex Home mobile app.
