Wi-Fi Cameras can be used as stand-alone security solutions that do not require a recorder. They connect to your home wireless network in minutes and record to an on-board microSD card. Indoor and outdoor models available.

Wire-Free Cameras

Wire-Free cameras are battery-operated and transmit recordings wirelessly to a DVR or Hub. They are designed to start recording the moment motion is detected and return to stand-by mode after the event to conserve battery.

Lorex apps allow you to stay connected to your security device or system from virtually anywhere in the world. See exactly what your cameras see, or watch recorded playback of past events, right from your mobile device.

Wireless
