Build Your Own Security Camera System

Protection Perfect For Your Needs

Every home and business is unique — and your security system should be too. The Lorex Build Your Own Security Camera System tool lets you customize a security solution that fits your property and your future security needs. Start by choosing a recorder, then select from a list of compatible cameras to build your system. From there, you can add smart home cameras and useful accessories like extra hard drives, cable extensions, and more to complete your setup.

Why Build Your Own Lorex Security Camera System?

  • Customizable to Your Property

    Choose the Security Recorder that fits your needs, decide how many cameras you want, and pick the style (bullet or dome) that works best for your location.

  • Guided System Building

    Choose a compatible recorder, cameras, and accessories step by step, so you can build a system that fits your property without second-guessing your setup.

  • Compatible & Fully Integrated

    Every item in the builder is guaranteed to work together, eliminating guesswork and ensuring an easy setup.

  • Scalable for the Future

    Start with what you need today, then expand later with additional cameras or accessories — your system grows with you.

  • Pro-Grade Performance

    Wired cameras and NVRs offer uninterrupted 24/7 recording, crisp resolution, and long-term reliability.

  • Cleaner, Easier Installation

    Customize the color and style of your cameras to better match your home or business, and add mounting accessories such as junction boxes for a clean, professional finish.

Who Is a Custom Security System Right For?

Custom systems are ideal for properties and projects that need more flexibility than a standard pre-built setup.

  • Homeowners Who Want Personalized Coverage

    Perfect for tailoring protection around entryways, driveways, backyards, side yards, or any unique layout where a standard system may not fit.

  • Small Businesses Needing Tailored Security

    Ideal for storefronts, offices, restaurants, warehouses, and parking areas that require specific recorder or camera configurations.

  • Professional Installers Who Need Flexible System Design

    Ideal for installers who want to tailor a system to a property’s layout, selecting the right combination of recorder and cameras.

  • Those Upgrading or Expanding an Older System

    Ideal when replacing an older recorder or outdated cameras. Select the right recorder and the exact number of cameras needed to match or upgrade your previous setup.
