Lorex C881DAB 4K Ultra HD Active Deterrence Camera

Do you need a camera that doesn’t just record but also deters intruders? The Lorex C881DAB 4K ultra HD active deterrence camera gives you that edge. It captures video at 8 MP resolution and a wide 98° field of view. You’ll see faces and license plates clearly.

First, this camera uses active deterrence technology: a motion‑activated white light and a remote‑triggered siren scare away unwanted guests. Also, Color Night Vision keeps the picture vivid when ambient light is present, while infrared LEDs provide black‑and‑white night vision up to 135 ft (41 m) in low light and 90 ft (28 m) in total darkness. The weatherproof IP67‑rated housing works from –40 °F to 131 °F.

Finally, the C881DAB connects to a compatible analog HD DVR using a BNC cable. It comes with a 60‑ft extension cable, power adapter, mounting kit and quick start guide.
