Lorex Video Vault™ Technology is comprised of three components:
Private Local Storage
In-Camera Edge AI
Private by Design
Together, these embody our commitment to keeping your data private.
Security is personal, and local storage allows you to keep the personal – private. Lorex cameras either record directly to a recorder or to an on-board MicroSD card.
Lorex does not store or retain video footage. Your video remains yours. Only you can control who has access to it.
Lorex uses security grade hard drives and microSD cards that are built to withstand the high demands of security monitoring. Most Lorex Recorders and Smart Home Cameras can be upgraded to larger capacity drives as well for additional storage space.
The video footage in transit to your mobile device is encrypted and not stored on the cloud. For motion notifications, you can opt-out of receiving thumbnail images.
Lorex cameras use In-Camera Edge AI technology that provides advanced detection algorithms that can recognize different objects including cars, packages, pets, and people. All of this is contained within the camera itself and not sent to a cloud server for analysis, which means your detection data stays with you.
Keeping your data private is our passion. That’s why we design and engineer everything from the ground up with your data in mind. This includes both our technologies and the tools we give you to manage your own devices, storage, and settings.
With Lorex, you can opt-in or opt-out of receiving thumbnail images attached to motion notifications through the mobile app.* These thumbnails are securely stored in our cloud for 10 minutes, while thumbnails displayed on the event list within the app are encrypted and removed after 3 days. You have the choice to opt-out of the generation and reception of these thumbnails altogether, ensuring you are in control of your images and data.
*Requires Lorex Version 4.10 or later
Your Lorex app account can be secured with Two-Factor Authentication to provide an additional layer of protection to your account. Once enabled, your account will send you a unique six-digit verification code through text message or email to verify the person accessing your account is really you.
Lorex gives you the option to immediately stop the recording of any or all cameras with the click of a button.
