Outdoor security cameras aren’t just for large homes, but complicated network setups of traditional systems have deterred many users, especially renters from installing one. With Lorex Connect, Lorex is now simplifying this experience with two outdoor WiFi security cameras designed for flexible DIY installations, no hardwire is required for power.
Battery-Powered Flexibility for Wire-Free Placement
Many outdoor cameras require hardwire such as Ethernet wiring, which can limit their placement, but the Lorex Connect 2K WiFi Battery-Powered Camera solves this problem by running off batteries. For users looking for installation flexibility, this fully wireless design makes a huge difference. Whether it’s fences, entryways or detached garages, users can mount it without worrying about wiring in places that might not be always practical.Â
I’ve found notification fatigue to be a real annoyance, and it’s something that many users run into quickly with outdoor cameras because of the excessive false alerts from outdoor environments. Over time, I tend to just ignore alerts altogether, which defeat the purpose of having a camera in the first place. With Smart Detection technology, this camera is able to detect people and vehicles, distinguishing them from more routine outdoor movements, and useful real-time alerts are sent via the Lorex Connect app for live footage viewing when motion is detected.Â
The model offers 2K resolution video quality, the image shows enough details without creating overly large files that would otherwise quickly fill up storage space. Combined with Color Night Vision, the camera captures everything that happens after dark and in low light environments without skipping a beat.
On top of the rechargeable Li-ion battery, you can choose to pair it with an optional 4.5W or 7W solar panel for continuous charging and keep maintenance to the minimum. With an adjustable mount, the panel’s angle can also be positioned for capturing maximum sunlight. Ranging anywhere from -20°C to 65°C, the weatherproof panel would still work as it’s built for long-term outdoor use.
At just under US$50, you get bonus features like two-way talk, and a spotlight and siren for deterrence purposes. You can also choose how footage is stored, local or cloud. While the cloud function will also soon be available, you can now get a 64GB microSD card for local storage.Â
A Floodlight Camera Designed for Flexible Outdoor Coverage
The Lorex Connect 2K Floodlight Wi-Fi Security Camera combines smart security monitoring with powerful illumination, offering up to 1500 lumens of customizable LED lighting alongside a 2K security camera. Best of all is its app-controlled horizontal pan, making it a winning combination for a camera that can be mounted high up for wide views.
With an intuitive app design, the camera enables you to remotely adjust the viewing angle from a wide 120° field of view up to 160°, perfectly built for broad outdoor coverage. When people or motions come within view, the camera’s Auto Tracking automatically follows this movement, and sends motion-triggered alerts via the app.
While the floodlight offers intense brightness needed for larger outdoor spaces, it can be customized via the app for better user control.Â
Unlike some wired security systems, this plug-and-play model works through standard power outlets and WiFi to eliminate the more complex wiring installations, making it significantly more approachable for renters alike. Â
Like the battery-powered camera, this also includes two-way talk functionality, a siren, and Color Night Vision as well as Smart AI Detection technology.
Built for year-round outdoor use, the IP66-rated floodlight camera can sustain in harsh weather conditions, withstanding rain, snow, and changing temperatures. I find this exceptionally important as erratic weather patterns become more common nowadays.
This model is now available at US$89.99, a 18% off from regular price of US$109.99 and you can skip the mandatory monthly fee with a micro SD for local storage.
