About the Lorex® 2K Wireless NVR System
A convenient security package
The Lorex 2K NVR System makes it easy to get started with its wire-free camera installation.
A convenient security package
The Lorex 2K Wireless NVR System includes all the gear you need to keep a watchful eye over your home or small business. This system includes an easy-to-use network video recorder (NVR) and four weather-resistant 2K cameras that are battery-powered and wireless, giving you the freedom to install your cameras almost anywhere on your property.
You'll get a notification to your smartphone anytime the cameras notice motion. You can then view the live feed and communicate with anyone on the other side. The system's motion-based detection can recognize people for fewer false alarms.
Deter unwanted guests
Each camera features a motion-activated LED warning light. This light can work in conjunction with a remote-triggered siren to discourage unwanted guests from sticking around. Plus, the cameras are equipped with color night vision, so you can clearly see anyone on your property in low-light conditions.
Wire-free cameras for a streamlined installation
You can use the included mounting kits to install each camera on a wall, either indoors or outdoors. The included quick-release battery packs make it easy to charge up without taking down the camera. You'll need to connect the NVR to your Wi-Fi router and plug it into AC power, but those are the only cables in the entire system.
Once the cameras and NVR have been installed, you can control them and review your recordings from a compatible computer or your smartphone. The intuitive Lorex Cirrus app lets you review your timeline, check the live view, use two-way talk, and more. There's no monthly fee, because all your data is stored locally with a built-in 1TB hard drive.
Expand your system
This security system can be expanded with up to four additional wireless 2K Spotlight cameras, letting you expand your view over your property. It's also compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa devices, so you can simply ask to see footage or a live camera view on compatible screens.
