Plan the cable runs before ordering. Camera Ethernet/PoE cables are sold separately. Confirm routes, lengths, protected connections, mounting surfaces, recorder ventilation, router access, and display needs.

Complete installation bundles can be added here after compatible accessories are confirmed.

WHY CHOOSE THIS SYSTEM

A clearer way to plan wide-area surveillance.

Each design decision should help you understand what the hardware does, where it fits, and what installation requires.

01

Wide fixed views with fewer seams

Two fixed lenses work together to produce an approximately 190° horizontal panoramic view. That can reduce the number of separate viewpoints needed in a suitable location, but it does not guarantee blind-spot-free coverage.

02

One wired recording center

Each camera connects to the eight-channel PoE NVR for power, video, and centralized local recording. A wired layout can be predictable once the cable routes are properly planned.

03

Package sizes that match the plan

Choose two, four, six, or eight cameras without changing the verified 2TB, eight-channel recorder platform. Smaller packages leave channels open for compatible cameras later.

WHAT SETS IT APART

What moves this beyond an entry-level camera kit.

A clearer planning fit for buyers who value panoramic context, wired reliability, and centralized local recording—and who are prepared to plan cabling and fixed views.

Panoramic context
Two fixed lenses present one wide 16:7 scene, giving broader context than a conventional narrow single-camera view. It is not PTZ or optical zoom.
Purpose-built recording
The 8-channel XC NVR centralizes wired recording with 2TB of local storage instead of relying on disconnected device storage.
Planned growth
The 2-, 4-, and 6-camera packages leave recorder inputs available. The 8-camera package uses all eight channels.

PLANNED FOR REAL PROPERTIES

Choose camera positions around the decisions you need to make.

These examples are planning starting points—not promises of total coverage. Sightlines, mounting height, lighting, and obstructions affect every installation.

RESIDENTIAL

Luxury homes and estate entrances

Plan views across gates, circular drives, front approaches, detached garages, and high-priority outdoor transitions.

MULTI-BUILDING

Large properties

Use a site map to prioritize shared approaches, service areas, workshops, and the routes between buildings.

COMMERCIAL

Warehouses and operations

Plan fixed views for receiving areas, loading approaches, parking edges, and selected interior circulation zones.

INSTITUTIONAL

Campuses, parking, and perimeter

Position cameras around access decisions and traffic flow, then validate distance, lighting, privacy, and network constraints on site.

FEATURES IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

Understand what each capability helps you do.

Verified capabilities are explained with their practical value and important limits.

Panoramic 8MP video

The camera records up to 4224 × 1848 at up to 30 frames per second across a wide 16:7 image.

Why it matters: A wide scene can be reviewed as one panoramic frame instead of unrelated narrow views.

Dual fixed lenses

Two 2.4 mm fixed lenses create an approximately 190.8° horizontal and 80.2° vertical field of view.

Why it matters: It helps with broad approaches and open areas while avoiding any suggestion of motorized PTZ or optical zoom.

Configurable video analytics

Verified options include person, vehicle, intrusion, loitering, wrong-way, unauthorized-parking, line-crossing, and people-counting analytics.

Why it matters: Rules can focus attention on relevant events, but results depend on placement, scene, firmware, and configuration.

Night viewing options

Infrared night vision is rated up to 98 ft in ideal conditions, with color night vision available when ambient light is sufficient.

Why it matters: The camera can adapt after dark, though real range and clarity vary with the scene and installation.

Local NVR recording

The recorder includes 2TB and supports one SATA drive up to 12TB. Retention varies with quality, motion, lighting, and recording settings.

Why it matters: Footage remains centered on a local recorder without promising a fixed number of recording days.

INSTALLATION & COVERAGE

Plan the system before the first hole is drilled.

A wired system rewards careful planning. Map each view, confirm every cable path, and leave the recorder in a ventilated, network-connected location.

Planning sequence only—not a coverage guarantee. Validate sightlines, cable paths, mounting height, lighting, privacy boundaries, and local requirements.

  1. 1

    Map views before choosing quantity

    Mark entrances, approaches, loading areas, parking edges, and other decision points. Check obstructions, backlighting, privacy boundaries, and the distance to useful detail.

  2. 2

    Plan every Ethernet run

    Each camera needs a compatible Ethernet cable back to a PoE port on the recorder. Camera cables are sold separately; protect exterior cable connections and observe local wiring requirements.

  3. 3

    Place the NVR for airflow and network access

    Provide power, ventilation, a wired router connection for remote access, and a local display when needed. Lorex recommends at least 6 Mbps upload for reasonable remote video performance.

  4. 4

    Aim manually during installation

    The camera offers manual 360° pan, 90° tilt, and 360° rotation for mounting alignment. It is not motorized PTZ and does not provide verified optical zoom.

  5. 5

    Use qualified help for complex work

    Professional installation may be appropriate for high mounts, long or concealed cable routes, commercial sites, electrical or code questions, network segmentation, or unfamiliar storage setup.

BUYER QUESTIONS

What to know before choosing a package.

Straight answers about cabling, storage, coverage, policies, and product limitations.

What installation work is required?

Plan and run one Ethernet cable from each camera to the PoE NVR, mount and aim each camera, place and power the recorder, connect it to a wired router for remote access, and configure recording, display, app, and analytics settings. Camera cables are sold separately.

What are the PoE and network requirements?

Each camera uses IEEE 802.3af PoE and can draw up to 11.2 W. The recorder has eight PoE inputs and a 100 W PoE budget. The NVR needs a separate wired Gigabit LAN connection to a router for remote features; Lorex recommends 6 Mbps upload for reasonable remote video performance.

Can these cameras record to this NVR?

Yes. The verified bundle pairs the CNU01P-1SW-AB1 X3 camera with the RNE01P-82B-AB1 XC recorder. Compatibility for any additional camera model should be checked individually.

Does one camera cover an entire property?

No. The approximately 190° horizontal panorama is broad, but useful coverage still depends on placement, distance, mounting height, lighting, obstructions, and the detail you need. Build a site plan instead of assuming total coverage.

How do the dual lenses work?

Two fixed 2.4 mm lenses combine into one wide 16:7 panoramic view. The camera is not motorized PTZ, and no optical zoom is verified. Pan, tilt, and rotation specifications describe manual mounting adjustment.

What should I expect at night?

Infrared night vision is rated up to 98 ft in ideal conditions. Color night vision is supported when the scene has enough ambient light; otherwise the camera can switch to black-and-white infrared. Actual clarity and range vary by installation and scene.

Does the camera track people or vehicles?

Verified analytics include person, vehicle, intrusion, loitering, wrong-way, unauthorized-parking, line-crossing, smart-motion, and people-counting options. These are configurable detection tools—not a guarantee of identification, prevention, response, or motorized subject tracking.

Can the camera be mounted outdoors?

The camera is IP66 rated and specified for -40°F to 140°F at up to 90% relative humidity. It is not submersible. Use a sheltered position where practical and protect every connection according to the installation instructions.

How much footage will 2TB store?

No fixed retention period is promised. Recording history varies with resolution, frame rate, quality, scene activity, lighting, compression, and recording schedule. The recorder supports one compatible surveillance-grade SATA drive up to 12TB.

What warranty applies?

ClearVero™ products include a 3 Year Product Warranty. ClearVero™ will assist customers with warranty guidance and support after purchase. Review the linked Warranty Policy for coverage, exclusions, claim steps, and available remedies before ordering.

What is the return window?

ClearVero™ offers a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee on eligible products. Customers may request a return or refund within 30 days according to ClearVero™ return-policy conditions, including authorization, product condition, return-shipping responsibility, inspection, and any applicable deductions.

What important limitations should I know?

Camera Ethernet cables, router, monitor, optional microSD card, professional installation, and expanded storage are not listed as included. The cameras are fixed-view—not PTZ—and analytics, remote access, night viewing, and retention depend on configuration and conditions.

Who is this system right for—and who may need something different?

It suits buyers who can plan permanent Ethernet runs and want broad fixed panoramic views with local NVR recording. Consider a different solution if you need wireless cameras, motorized PTZ, verified optical zoom, more than eight NVR channels, included camera cables, or a professionally installed turnkey package.

How is shipping handled?

For Lorex products sold to the U.S. market: U.S. delivery within 7 business days after processing. This is an estimate, not a fixed delivery-date promise. Before fulfillment, ClearVero™ manually checks supplier availability for the selected package. If it is unavailable, ClearVero™ will contact the customer to offer an alternative package, delayed fulfillment, or a full refund.
