Notes & disclaimers
  • 4K (8MP) IP cameras are required to take advantage of 4K recording.
  • Recording time may vary based on recording resolution and quality, lighting conditions and movement in the scene.
  • Accessing your security system remotely requires a high-speed Internet connection. Ensure your NVR has a wired connection to a router (not included). A minimum upload speed of 6Mbps is recommended for reasonable video performance.
  • HDMI output supports 4K HD for high definition multi-channel live or recorded video viewing. Image quality and resolution is dependent on the type of camera connected to the NVR, as well as TV/monitor resolution.

Lorex Connect U Series 4K 8-Channel Wired NVR Syst

"Amazing video quality and easy to be install. The set up is faster, and the presentation are very nice. I love the shape of the cameras; they look so professional."

— M&C I. (5/5)

The product works well, with

"The product works well, with high quality and clear video. They load quick on the app and I have no complaints about the overall function. It was moderately easy to install. The lack of provided instruction manuals for all the camera settings and controls, which I'm sure must exist somewhere, could be improved. I was also disappointed to realize that only two cameras work with the system instead of being able to choose from any of the available cameras in the Lorex line. It wasn't clear when buying that the systems are not compatible with most of the cameras, which is weird to me. Why not just make the cameras work with any of the recorders?"

— Daniel K. (4/5)

Excellent product

"This is my 3rd set of security camera system that I install in different houses. 1 hard drive lasted about 4 years because the house was vacant and very hot inside during summer in Bakersfield area."

— Lorenzo R. (5/5)

Great experience. Set up in

"Great experience. Set up in no time. Works as advertised. Upgraded from my last one. So would definitely buy again."

— Tom R. (5/5)

I bought this unit to

"I bought this unit to replace a defunct 1080p recorder. After receiving the unit I realized the unit only has ethernet connectors while my camera cables require BNC connectors. I have been trying to get help from Lorex website without any success. My questions are: whether this unit can support analog cameras? And if not, what recommendation you can provide? Thank you. Victor Chang"

Shockingly poor setup. No technical

"Shockingly poor setup. No technical assistance available. Wasted 3 hours of my time, before returning everything. The year 2026 going on 2010."

Q&A

Is it possible to display 8 cameras simultaneously remotely running pc software and where can you obtain the software ?
Software is not yet available for Connect series. Cameras can be accessed via mobile app or direct connection NVR to monitor.
My old unit, DV908-D, quit. What units do you have I can replace this with?
