WHY CHOOSE THIS CAMERA?
A controllable view for places a fixed camera cannot examine closely
CNX01P is designed for deliberate, long-range observation. It combines professional PTZ movement, optical zoom, 4K video, analytics, audio, and harsh-weather construction in one standalone camera.
Reposition the view as priorities change
Endless 360° pan, motorized tilt, presets, and compatible tracking can help operators follow activity across a large scene. Coverage still depends on the camera’s current direction.
Build around demanding outdoor locations
The aluminum-alloy IP66 housing is specified for −40°F to 140°F, while installation still requires suitable mounting, cabling, power, and weather-protected connections.
WHERE IT MAY FIT
Match the camera to a real monitoring question
Use these scenarios to plan a suitable view and PTZ preset. Detection, identification, and coverage still depend on placement, lighting, distance, and configuration; one camera cannot watch every direction at once.
PERIMETER OBSERVATION
Large properties and controlled boundaries
Long optical reach and directional PTZ control can help inspect gates, perimeter routes, and distant activity. Plan for sightlines, obstructions, lighting, and the fact that one PTZ view is directional at any moment.
REMOTE INSPECTION
Parking, campus, and commercial exteriors
The 7–210 mm lens moves from a wider scene to a narrow long-distance view. Image usefulness still depends on focus, distance, light, weather, movement, and the chosen camera direction.
AFTER-DARK PLANNING
Entrances and activity after dark
Color night viewing uses available ambient light; infrared provides monochrome visibility when needed. The published 820 ft IR range is an ideal-condition maximum, not a guaranteed identification distance.
EVENT AWARENESS
Monitored entrances and operating zones
Configurable person, vehicle, intrusion, line-crossing, loitering, wrong-way, parking, counting, and heat-map tools can help surface events. Results depend on compatible recorder or platform support, firmware, placement, and scene conditions.
RECORDING & SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Choose the connection path that fits the site
The camera can receive power and network connectivity through PoE+ or use its alternative power inputs. A compatible X Series NVR is the clearest route to the complete Lorex feature set.
- CNX01P camera One standalone 4K PTZ camera
- Ethernet network RJ45 10/100 carries data and supported PoE+ power
- Compatible X Series recorder Optional; verify channels, PoE budget, firmware, and feature support
- Local and remote viewing Availability depends on the chosen compatible system architecture
Communication is built into the camera
The microphone and speaker support two-way talk. Warning lights, siren, custom messages, and alarm I/O can be configured for the site; none guarantees prevention.
Detailed video at useful frame rates
The 8 MP sensor records up to 3840 × 2160 at 30 fps, with 120 dB WDR for difficult bright-and-dark scenes.
Optical reach before digital processing
The 7–210 mm motorized lens changes the field of view from 67.6° diagonal to 3°, helping operators inspect distant areas with real optical magnification.
Direction, presets, and compatible tracking
Endless pan and motorized tilt support repositioning and patrol workflows. Tracking results depend on configuration, scene conditions, firmware, and compatible system support.
Two complementary night modes
AI Color Night Vision depends on ambient light. Infrared is rated up to 820 ft under ideal conditions and produces monochrome imagery when active.
Listen and speak when policy allows
A built-in microphone and speaker support two-way communication. Audio recording is disabled by default and must follow applicable privacy and consent law.
Deterrence and external integration
Configurable warning lights, siren, messages, and two alarm inputs/two outputs support site-specific responses without guaranteeing event prevention.
PLAN BEFORE YOU MOUNT
Placement, power, cable, and recording are one decision
This is a professional PTZ camera, not a complete recorder bundle. A reliable result starts by planning the mounting point, Ethernet path, PoE budget, recording destination, and coverage limitations together.
-
CAMERA PLACEMENT
Choose the observation point first
Map the widest view, the distant details that need inspection, likely obstructions, lighting, mounting height, and the camera’s directional coverage at any moment.
-
CLEARVERO PLANNING
Measure the Ethernet route
The Ethernet camera cable is not included. Select outdoor-rated or otherwise installation-appropriate cabling and protect every transition for the environment.
-
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Confirm power and PoE budget
Supported inputs are IEEE 802.3at PoE+, 24 VAC, or 36 VDC. Maximum PoE draw is 25 W; verify the actual switch, injector, or recorder budget.
-
COMPATIBILITY BOUNDARY
Match the recorder before installation
For the full Lorex system experience, confirm an X Series NVR’s channels, PoE capacity, firmware, storage, analytics, PTZ, audio, and deterrence support.
-
IP66 · −40°F TO 140°F
Protect the physical installation
IP66 is weather resistant, not submersible. Use the supplied gland where applicable, suitable junction protection, structural mounting, and code-compliant practices.
-
AUDIO & PRIVACY
Set privacy and recording policy
Audio recording is disabled by default. Configure zones, analytics, notifications, retention, audio, and operator access in line with site policy and applicable law.
BUYING GUIDANCE
A strong fit depends on the monitoring job
Use these checks to distinguish a good PTZ application from a site that needs additional fixed cameras, different infrastructure, or more compatibility work.
Long sightlines
Strong candidate where a controllable 30× optical view can answer a real inspection need.
Active monitoring
Fits workflows where an operator or configured automation will reposition the camera deliberately.
Exposed locations
Aluminum-alloy IP66 construction and the published temperature range support demanding outdoor placement when installed correctly.
Simultaneous all-direction coverage
One PTZ camera looks in one direction at a time. Add fixed viewpoints where continuous scene coverage is required.
No planned cable route
The package does not include an Ethernet camera cable. Confirm route, cable specification, surge protection, and PoE source before purchase.
Third-party feature parity
ONVIF and RTSP support interoperability, but do not guarantee full Lorex PTZ, analytics, audio, deterrence, or app behavior.
