This dual-lens camera is amazing. I only needed one to cover the entire backyard and sides of my restaurant. This was my first Lorex purchase, but after a lot of research, I knew it was the right choice. It never loses connection and has been very reliable. I'm planning to expand and build out the system.

Lorex H13 - 4K IP Wired Bullet Security Camera with Smart Deterrence and Smart Motion Detection

We use the camera to monitor our storage room at our food bank. We had been broken into twice, with thousands of dollars in food stolen. After installing the cameras, we were broken into again — but this time we were notified as it was happening, contacted the police, and they caught the person on the spot. The system paid for itself many times over, very quickly.
