Smart Motion Detection

Only be notified of the most important moments with Smart Motion Detection.

 

Face Detection and Recognition

Perfect for front doors and entranceways, Face Detection and Recognition (available on one channel) will only notify you of motion events when a familiar face has been detected. This prevents motion notifications from people or vehicles simply passing by and not coming towards the camera. You can also easily preview all the different faces that the camera has captured for quick reference on the DVR. You can also review and filter only face detection events in Smart Search.

 

Person and Vehicle Detection

Smart Person and Vehicle Detection (available on all channels) helps identify more important objects that enter the camera's field of view. Thanks to this innovative feature, you will only get a push notification whenever a person or vehicle is detected on your property. This effectively reduces the number of unwanted false alerts caused by moving branches or animals. Recorded motion alerts can easily be reviewed by using the Smart Search function.

 
NOTE: Face Detection and Face Recognition are available on a single channel only. Smart Motion Detection and Virtual fence can not be enabled on all channels while Face Detection or Face Recognition is enabled.

Remote viewing from your mobile with Lorex™

This DVR is designed for use with our innovative Lorex™ app. Using this app, you can quickly view your security system remotely and control camera features from your smartphone. The app will also send you motion-activated push notifications straight to your phone to keep you connected to your property at all times.
