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.

Features

Overview: The Lorex 2K NVR System (L42481-4AA4-E) features a 6-channel Network Video Recorder (NVR) and four battery-operated 2K Outdoor Wire-free cameras. One or two additional cameras can be added to the system. The NVR is equipped with a 1 TB HDD for storing the video locally, so there are no monthly fees for cloud storage. The 2K NVR system can be configured and controlled by the Lorex Cirrus app, available for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac.

2K Wire-free Cameras: The four included 2K Spotlight Outdoor Battery Security Cameras (Model U424AA-E) are wire-free and can be placed nearly anywhere. Features of the camera include:

  • Video: The cameras have a 4MP 1/3" CMOS image sensor that produces 2K (2560 x 1440) 16:9 HD video with Wide Dynamic Range. It has automatic white balance and gain control, and 3D noise reduction for optimum picture quality.
  • Lens: The camera has a 2.6mm fixed focal length, F1.8 lens. Its field of view is 140° diagonal, 120° horizontal, and 65° vertical.
  • Spotlight: A bright LED spotlight on the camera illuminates your property. The spotlights can be turned on or off manually, or activated automatically when motion is detected to deter intruders.
  • Night Vision: The camera is equipped with high powered Infrared LEDs (850mm) to enable the camera to record video in the dark or low light conditions. The camera will record color video in as little as 0.05 lux (with Auto Gain Control on), and in black-and-white in total darkness (0 lux) with the IR LEDs on.
  • Two-way Audio: The camera features a microphone and a speaker that enable two-way communication. With the Lorex Cirrus app, you can talk to and listen to the person on the camera.
  • Siren: The camera has an extra level of deterrence with a remote-triggered 110dB siren. The siren can be manually triggered from the Lorex Cirrus app to scare away uninvited visitors.
  • Wi-Fi: The 2K Wire-free Camera is compatible with Wi-Fi protocol over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. A 3" Wi-Fi antenna is included for improved Wi-Fi signal.
  • Motion Detection: The 2K Spotlight Outdoor Wi-Fi Camera offers Motion Detection to alert you when there's activity outside your home. In the Lorex Cirrus app, you can access the Motion Detection settings: Sensitivity (level 1-8), Detection Type (motion or person detection), Motion Zone (can be defined to areas you want covered), Distance (lower the distance if triggered by unwanted events), and Siren Duration (up to 60 seconds or Off).
  • Mounting: The camera can be mounted outdoors on a wall or ceiling with the included bracket. It is recommended that the camera is mounted at least 7 feet above the ground. The bracket features a swiveling mount that lets you aim the camera where you want and lock it down. It can be installed in a wide variety of places and conditions. The camera has an IP66 weather-resistance rating, and can withstand a variety of weather conditions and temperatures. It can operate in a temperature range of -4°F to +122°F (-20°C to 50°C).
  • Battery Powered: The 2K Wire-free Camera is powered by a removable rechargeable two-cell battery (ACBATTR2). The battery charges in approximately 6 hours via the included USB power adapter and cable. Battery life will vary, depending on number of events, settings, and ambient temperature. An optional Solar Panel is available from Lorex for keeping the battery charged. A wired power adapter is also available. The battery can be upgraded to a three-cell battery (ACBATTR3, available directly from Lorex), for longer battery life.

Network Video Recorder (NVR): Anchoring the L42481 Wire-Free security system is the 6-channel 2K Network Video Recorder. Features of the NVR include:

  • System: The NVR can record up to 6 separate video feeds from Wi-Fi connected U424AA cameras. It has an embedded Linux operating system. An optical mouse is included for operating the NVR and configuring the system settings.
  • On-Screen Display: The system's on-screen display lets you navigate menus and configure options and settings. The taskbar along the bottom of the screen lets you access the main menu and controls basic functions of the recorder.
  • Recording: The NVR records up to 4 MP (2560 x 1440) video with H.265+, H.265, or H.264 video compression. Recordings are triggered by Motion Detection or Person Detection.

If you choose to record video continuously, you will need to power each camera with a wired powered adapter (ACPWF1, available from Lorex).
  • Storage: Recorded video is stored on the NVR's installed 1 TB, 2.5" SATA HDD. Depending upon the settings, the 1 TB SATA HDD can record up to 1 year of video. By default, the HDD is set to overwrite automatically, deleting the oldest footage when storage is full. You can also select a number of days or hours the system should retain data (up to 90 days). You can backup video from the HDD onto a USB flash drive or a USB-connected HDD in a Lorex-specific format or in universal MP4 format.
  • Playback: The NVR lets you play back one channel in full screen or multiple channels at a time in a grid configuration. Playback functions include Play, Pause, Stop, Fast Forward (2x, 4x, 8x), Fast Backward (2x, 4x, 8x), Slow Forward (1/2x, 1/4x, 1/8x), Step forward, and Step backward.

Voice Assistants: The Lorex 2K NVR system can be linked with Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant. Smart displays, such as the Google Nest Hub or the Amazon Echo Show, will show you the view from your cameras with a voice command.
