Experience the 4K difference

With 4K resolution, nothing is left to the imagination. The higher number of pixels (3840 × 2160 as opposed to 1920 × 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.

Smart Motion Detection Plus

This NVR supports cameras that feature smart person, vehicle, and face detection. Thanks to this innovative feature, a motion event and notification will only be created whenever a person or vehicle is detected. This effectively reduces the number of unwanted false alerts.



*Camera models that include Smart Person and Vehicle Detection are required to utilize this feature.

Protect the things that matter with Safeguard

Lorex's Safeguard™ technology is perfect if you have very specific objects or areas that you need to to monitor. The feature allows you to set-up to three "Missing" areas and one "Left Behind" area. The Missing feature allows you to select important objects of value that you would want to be notified if they are removed from the area. Conversely, the Left Behind feature allows you to select an area to be notified if something is left behind on that area, such as a package.

Panic button

Stop events before they happen. An easy-to-use panic button located on the front of the recorder will activate all lights and sirens on your compatible Active Deterrence cameras to deter potential intruders.

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.

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.

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 recording. With the possibility of increasing storage space up to 8TB, there is more than enough room to safely store all motion events that only you can access.

Display Issue

"When the system works, it's great. While talking to support, I found out that the NVR system can randomly change it's display settings, so you will get a blank display when attaching a monitor or a TV. It seems counterintuitive for a security system, but I don't work in the security camera industry so maybe it's required. For the people who end up here troubleshooting the same issue, here is the fix. It requires a hard reset of removing the power cord, holding down the front button, plugging in the power cord, and releasing the front button once the system beeps."

Replacement DVR a Home Run

"Have been a Lorex system user for many years. The high quality cameras have always been my reason staying with Lorex products until recently. I decided to upgrade the DVR to take full advantage of the cameras capabilities. The DVR user interface has changed dramatically to the better. Setting up the cameras was straight foward using the new graphical interface. The main menu page is now user friendly aiding in finding sub categories that may need adjusting. We'll done Lorex"

Q&A

Is there a way to add a PoE switch and connect more than 8 cameras to the N844.
The N844 NVR only supports up to 8 channels, so live viewing will be available for a maximum of 8 channels, so there is no way to add more than 8 cameras.
How long will it record with a a 2TB drive and 4 4k cameras?
That will record less than a week, you can do more measurements in the HDD calculator in the link below. https://www.lorex.com/pages/hdd-calculator
Is N844 or N843A82 NVR newer? Can you explain the main differences in capabilities?
