Lorex security camera accessories help you expand, install, power, and maintain your security cameras and systems.
The right accessories depend on your camera or recorder, installation type, connection method, power requirements, and storage needs.
Add or upgrade surveillance hard drives and security-grade microSD cards to increase recording capacity based on the storage supported by your camera or recorder.
Use compatible cables, mounts, brackets, junction boxes, adapters, and extenders to support camera placement, cable routing, and installation requirements.
PoE switches, adapters, extenders, and solar panels can provide additional power or connectivity options for compatible cameras and systems.
Accessories such as doorbell chimeboxes and lightbulb socket extenders can add functionality or installation flexibility to compatible smart home cameras.
Different accessories are designed for specific camera types, recorders, connection methods, and installation needs.
Surveillance hard drives and security-grade microSD cards provide local storage for compatible security cameras and recorders.
Hard drives offer higher-capacity storage for NVRs and DVRs, while microSD cards allow supported cameras to record locally at the device.
Shop Security Camera StorageSolar panels provide ongoing charging for compatible battery-powered wireless security cameras, helping reduce how often the battery needs to be manually recharged.
Shop Solar PanelsSecurity camera cables carry video, data, power, or a combination of these depending on the type of security system.
Cat5e and Cat6 Ethernet cables are used with IP security cameras and can carry both power and data when connected to compatible PoE equipment.
RG59 Siamese cables are used with compatible analog security cameras and combine video and power connections in a single cable run.
Bulk cable provides additional flexibility for custom cable lengths and larger installations.
PoE accessories provide additional power, network connectivity, or installation flexibility for compatible IP security cameras.
PoE switches deliver power and data to compatible IP cameras through Ethernet and can add additional PoE connections to an installation.
Coax-to-Ethernet adapters can help reuse compatible existing coaxial cabling when transitioning to Ethernet-based IP cameras.
PoE extenders and adapters can help support different installation distances, connection requirements, or network layouts depending on the equipment being used.
Security camera mounts and brackets help position compatible cameras for the installation location and viewing angle you need.
Options can include pole mounts, corner mounts, wall mounts, and drop-ceiling mounts for compatible camera types.
Shop Mounts & BracketsJunction boxes help organize, conceal, and protect camera cable connections at the installation point while providing a clean mounting solution for compatible cameras.
Choose a junction box that matches your camera’s mounting pattern and installation requirements.
Shop Junction BoxesCompatible doorbell accessories, such as chimeboxes, can add audible alerts inside your home when someone rings a supported video doorbell.
Multiple compatible chimeboxes can be used in different areas of the home where supported.
Shop Doorbell AccessoriesSocket extenders can help adjust the position of a compatible lightbulb security camera when additional clearance or a different mounting position is needed.
Shop Lightbulb ExtendersConfirm that the accessory is compatible with your specific camera, recorder, or security system before purchasing.
IP security cameras typically use Ethernet and may use PoE, while analog cameras use compatible coaxial cabling. Wireless cameras may require different power, charging, or storage accessories depending on the model.
Think about mounting surface, cable routing, weather exposure, available power, and the distance between the camera and other equipment.
Before upgrading a hard drive or microSD card, confirm the maximum storage capacity supported by your camera or recorder.
No. Compatibility can depend on the camera or recorder model, connection type, mounting pattern, power requirements, and other specifications. Always confirm compatibility before purchasing an accessory.
The cable depends on the type of camera system. IP and PoE cameras typically use Ethernet cable, while compatible analog cameras use coaxial cabling such as RG59 Siamese cable.
A PoE switch supplies power and network connectivity to compatible IP cameras over Ethernet. It does not increase the recorder’s channel count, but it can help you use available channels beyond the NVR’s built-in PoE ports. For example, a 32-channel NVR with 16 integrated PoE ports can use a PoE switch to connect cameras to the remaining supported channels. PoE switches can also help simplify and organize cabling, especially in larger installations.
Not every installation requires one. A junction box can help organize and protect cable connections while providing a cleaner mounting point for compatible cameras.
Check the accessory’s compatibility information against your camera model, mounting pattern, and installation requirements before purchasing.
Storage needs depend on factors such as the number of cameras, resolution, frame rate, recording schedule, and how long you want to retain footage. Also confirm the maximum hard drive capacity supported by your recorder.
Many recorders support storage upgrades, but the maximum supported hard drive capacity varies by model. Check your recorder specifications before upgrading.
Choose a compatible security-grade microSD card within the maximum capacity supported by the camera. Higher capacities can provide longer recording retention depending on the camera and recording settings.
Yes, when the camera supports a compatible solar panel. The solar panel provides ongoing charging to help reduce how often the camera battery needs to be manually recharged.
Compatible coax-to-Ethernet equipment can allow some existing coaxial cabling to be used with Ethernet-based IP cameras, depending on the cabling, camera, and adapter configuration.
Yes. Depending on your system, accessories can help add storage, extend cabling, provide additional PoE connections, support new mounting locations, or add compatible power and charging options.
