Wired IP (NVR) Security

Lorex Wired IP (NVR) Security

Pro-Grade Performance, Smart Features, Ultimate Reliability.

Wired IP technology is the modern standard for professional surveillance, delivering exceptional image quality, reliability, and intelligent features. IP cameras connect directly to a Network Video Recorder (NVR) using a single Ethernet cable with Power over Ethernet (PoE), which delivers both power to the camera and video/data transmission through one connection.

Whether you’re securing a home, business, or large property, an NVR-based system provides crisp resolution, continuous recording, and the advanced smart capabilities modern security demands.

Why Choose A Wired IP (NVR) Security System?

Superior Video Quality

IP cameras deliver unmatched clarity — capturing faces, license plates, and fine details even at a distance.

Reliable 24/7 Recording

PoE ensures a stable wired connection with no signal drops, making IP systems ideal for critical security applications.

AI-Powered Detection & Analytics

Smart detections combined with advanced analytics helps identify important events, reduce false alerts, and provide deeper insight into activity around your property.

One-Cable Connection

One Ethernet cable delivers power to the camera and sends video to the NVR, removing the need for separate power connections and simplifying installation.

Expandable & Scalable

With NVRs available in 8, 16, and 32 channels, you can choose a recorder that supports the cameras you need today and provides room to add more as your property or security requirements increase.

Long Cable Distances

Ethernet cables can extend up to 300 ft (90 m) per run, with options like PoE switches and ePoE technology enabling even greater distances.

Local Storage & No Monthly Fees

Record continuously to the NVR’s built-in surveillance-grade hard drive. Upgradeable storage options allow weeks or even months of recorded footage.

Future-Ready

IP cameras are smart devices with their own built-in processors, allowing them to receive firmware updates that improve performance, enhance AI detection, and reduce security risks. As new features and camera models are released, your system can continue to evolve and stay up to date.

Businesses & Commercial Properties

Great for warehouses, retail, offices, parking lots, and multi-camera setups.

Large Properties or Multi-Building Layouts

Use PoE switches, ePoE, or long-range cabling to extend coverage exactly where you need it.

Security Installers & Professionals

Scalable, flexible, and fully compatible systems that integrate seamlessly across different sites.

Users Upgrading Older Systems

Perfect for replacing analog cameras, expanding coverage, or modernizing with 4K and AI.

Accessories for IP Security Systems

Enhance your wired IP setup with accessories designed to help you expand coverage, increase storage, and install cameras cleanly and professionally.

1. PoE Switches - Add More Cameras to Open Channels or Reach Farther Area

Use a PoE switch when you:
• Need additional PoE ports even though your NVR still has open channels available (for example, 32-channel NVRs include only 16 built-in PoE ports)
• Want to place cameras in areas far from the recorder
• Are wiring multiple rooms, floors, or buildings

PoE switches let you run a single Ethernet cable from the NVR to the switch, then connect multiple cameras from that location — reducing cable length and improving installation flexibility.

2. Surveillance Hard Drives - Increase Recording Capacity

Lorex NVRs allow you to expand your storage by upgrading to larger surveillance-grade hard drives built for 24/7 recording. You can:

• Replace the included hard drive with a higher-capacity option
• Add a second hard drive on dual-bay NVRs for even more storage
• Extend retention time to keep weeks or even months of recorded footage

Upgrading storage is ideal for systems with many cameras, 4K recording, continuous recording, or commercial environments that require long-term video retention.

3. Junction Boxes & Mounts - Clean, Secure Camera Installation

Use junction boxes and mounts to:

• Hide and protect cables behind the camera
• Install cameras on corners, poles, ceilings, or uneven surfaces
• Achieve a cleaner, more professional exterior installation

They make it easier to route cables outdoors and improve durability in harsh weather.

4. Ethernet Cables - Upgrade or Expand Your PoE Wiring

Use Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cables when you need to:
• Run cameras farther to reach distant locations from the NVR or PoE switch
• Replace or upgrade older cabling for improved stability or higher bandwidth
• Install outdoor or buried cable for weather-exposed or long-distance runs
• Create custom cable lengths for cleaner routing through walls, attics, or conduit

Proper cabling ensures strong PoE power delivery and consistent, high-quality video transmission.
