Key features of the Lorex N862A64B 4K 16‑channel NVR

• 4K Ultra HD recording on every channel. Capture up to 8 megapixels at 15 fps and 5 MP at 30 fps, so faces and license plates stay sharp even when you zoom in. Video is compressed using H.265/H.264 for longer retention.
• 16 PoE channels. Each channel supplies power and data over a single Ethernet cable. The NVR supports a maximum power output of 25.5 W per port and 130 W total. It has 1 HDMI and 1 VGA video output.
• Large local storage with dual drive bays. A 4 TB security‑grade hard drive is preinstalled. Two SATA bays accept up to 2 × 8 TB drives for a 16 TB total. Footage stays in your possession—no hidden monthly fees.
• Smart motion and face detection. On compatible cameras the recorder identifies people and vehicles to reduce false alerts. It also supports face detection, active deterrence and an instant panic button for real‑time response.
• Fusion™ support for Wi‑Fi cameras. You can add up to two Lorex Fusion wireless devices (cameras, doorbells or floodlights). These devices stream and record to the NVR so they share its storage and power.
• Smart‑home compatibility. The NVR works with Amazon Alexa™ and Google Assistant™, and streams to Chromecast™, Apple TV™, Amazon Echo Show™, Google Home Hub™ and similar displays.
• Remote access. Use the Lorex Home app for iOS or Android or the Lorex Cloud client for PC/Mac to view live or recorded video, receive push notifications with snapshots and search events. Up to three remote devices can connect simultaneously as long as the NVR has at least 5 Mbps upstream bandwidth.
• Flexible recording schedules. Record continuously, on motion, by smart event or by schedule. Four‑channel simultaneous playback at 4K is supported.
• Rugged design. The unit runs from 14 °F to 131 °F and weighs about 5.8 lb (2.6 kg). PoE eliminates the need for external power at each camera.

Together, these features make the Lorex N862A64B 4K 16‑channel NVR a versatile recorder for homes and businesses.
