Lorex Cloud CCTV Camera Monitoring enables remote surveillance via encrypted cloud storage. Users access live feeds and recorded footage through the Lorex Home app or web portal. Cameras upload data to secure servers, offering 24/7 access, motion-triggered alerts, and multi-device compatibility. Subscription plans provide varying storage durations, ensuring flexibility for residential and commercial security needs.
The system employs TLS 1.3 encryption during video transmission, creating a secure tunnel between devices and AWS-hosted servers. During uploads, footage gets fragmented into encrypted packets that reconstruct only upon authorized access attempts. Business-tier users gain access to parallel streaming technology that maintains feed stability even during bandwidth fluctuations – critical for monitoring high-traffic areas like retail stores or warehouses.
| Data Type | Encryption Method | Access Protocol |
|---|---|---|
| Live Stream | TLS 1.3 | RTSP/ONVIF |
| Cloud Recordings | AES-256 | HTTPS |
