I did research on several systems and decided on the model NK182-85CB for various reasons. I wanted a system that utilized cat 5 cables rather than BNC, and even though I only needed 6 cameras, I purchased this system with eight cameras because the price difference was minimal with a deal through Sams Club. So now I have two spare cameras. Also the two year warranty from Lorex was a selling point. First about the installation, which I did myself. There is no way to estimate the installation time because every job is different. I installed all of my cameras on the outside of my house under the eaves. This necessitated a lot of attic work, which can be a challenge depending on your roof design, gable or hip. Even with 44 years of experience as an outside tech with AT&T, fish tape and push rods, it was a chore. But than you can always half ass it a cut a lot of corners, but to do a professional job, count on a few hours of work. The 100 foot cat 5 cables can reach anywhere in a normal size house with lots of spare. That is the hard part of the installation. The rest is plugging in cables and turning on the system. After a short software update the system is up a running and the experimenting starts. The picture is great, night and day. There isn't a square inch of my property that I cannot view as is also several of my neighbors blocks away. I don't know how it will perform in the long run, but so far I am impressed.

- 4K Network Video Recorder -
4K recording with smart home compatibility
Record and view impressive 4K video resolution with a cutting-edge recorder, providing you with superior detail and definition. When paired with Smart IP cameras featuring advanced person and vehicle detection, this recorder can send motion triggered push notifications caused only by people or vehicles. This provides only the most relevant motion alerts. Use the Smart Search feature to filter motion events by area, time/date and person or vehicle, saving you time when reviewing footage. With convenient smart home and voice control compatibility, remote viewing, and advanced motion detection, this recorder's quality and performance is unmatched.
Remote viewing from your mobile with Lorex Home
This feature-rich system is designed for use with our innovative, hassle-free Lorex Home app. Using Lorex Home, you can quickly and easily view your security system remotely from your smartphone or tablet and control active deterrence features. Simply download the free app, scan the QR code on the NVR and your cameras will appear for you to monitor (or review footage). You can also program the app to send you motion-activated push notifications and email alerts with screenshot attachments straight to your phone to keep you connected to your property at all times.
Works With
Apple iPhone
Apple iPad
Android Phone
Android Tablet
Apple TV
Smart home compatibility
Get faster access to your security system with hands-free voice control. This security camera system is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, as well as Apple TV and Chrome-cast. By using simple voice commands, you can activate camera features and access live or recorded footage directly on your smart TV, and more.
View your system through Apple TV
Watch your Lorex system in new ways. Don't have an option of hooking up your Lorex recorder directly to your TV? No problem. Simply make sure your Lorex recorder is on the same network as your Apple TV (Gen 4 or newer) and watch your Lorex recorder on your TV through the Lorex Home Apple TV App.
Experience the 4K difference
With 4K resolution, nothing is left to the imagination. The higher number of pixels (3840 x 2160 as opposed to 1920 x 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.
Area search
Find what you are looking for quickly with Lorex's Area Search. Select an area of interest and automatically playback any video footage showing scene changes in that area. Ideal for doorways, drive ways, etc.
Panic button
This NVR brings your security camera system to the next level with an easy-to-use panic button located on the front of the recorder. By pressing and holding this button you can activate all lights and sirens on your compatible Active Deterrence cameras at one time to deter potential intruders.
HEVC / H.265 video compression
This NVR is able to receive HEVC (High Efficiency Video Encoding) or H.265 video compression files. This type of encoding can save up to 40% more space when compared to H.264 Advanced Video Coding. Please note that IP security cameras with HEVC video compression are required to take advantage of this feature.
Reliable security grade hard drive with no hidden storage fees
Included in the NVR is a built-in, security-grade hard drive that has been designed to meet the demands of 24/7 surveillance, while also providing ample storage space for all recorded video footage. With the possibility of increasing storage space up to 10TB, there is more than enough room to safely store all motion events that only you can access.
With or without the internet
This NVR can be used without being connected to the internet. This means that your data can only be accessed directly from your NVR. However, an internet connection is required to enable remote viewing, motion push notifications, and to download the latest firmware updates.
NVR Network Video Recorder
Security NVRs will connect to IP cameras using CAT5 network cables and will store pre-compressed video footage from IP cameras.
24/7 100% Duty cycle hard drive pre-installed
The hard drives are designed to work in a security environment, including simultaneous recording & playback from various streams.
- 5MP High Definition IP Camera with Color Night Vision -
Invest in a security camera that provides high definition video footage no matter what time of day it is. This new 5MP IP security camera by Lorex will give you the improved picture quality you need, along with Color Night Vision (CNV), long-range infrared (IR) night vision, and an IP67 weatherproof rating for around-the-clock monitoring you can depend on.
Get enhanced picture quality with 2K (5MP) resolution recording
Expect to see enhanced picture quality and more detail than ever before with this new 5MP security camera by Lorex. The camera's improved image sensor adds a heightened level of detail and clarity to your security footage when compared to 1080p Full HD.
PoE technology for simple plug-and-play installation
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology is an all-in-one solution that cuts cost and installation time. A single cable run between your NVR and IP camera provides both power and video transmission so you don't have to install your camera near a plug.
Capture the best images with HDR
These cameras use HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology to ensure every important detail is captured, regardless of the lighting conditions. HDR automatically adjusts the brightness in areas that are either too dark or too over-exposed to decipher details. The result is improved, highly detailed video footage that looks uniform throughout.
See in color through the night
With Lorex's exclusive Color Night Vision you'll be able to see full color images in low-light conditions. CNV gives you more detailed video footage and realistic images true to their original form (such as the color of cars or clothes). It also provides increased contrast for easier detection and recognition.
Long-range IR night vision
In regular nighttime conditions that are too dark for CNV to render full-color images, this camera will use it's infrared LEDs to record crisp black and white video footage up to 130ft (40m) away and up to 90ft (27m) in complete darkness.
Weatherproof & cold climate capable
Although this camera is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation, its IP67 weatherproof rating and aluminum casing means it can withstand pretty much anything, such as heavy snowfall, rain or wind. It has also been tested in temperatures as low as -40 Degree F (-40 Degree C) and as high as 122 Degree F (50 Degree C), ensuring year-round monitoring no matter where you live.
