Lorex 1080p 8-Channel Wired DVR System — HD CVI Dome Cameras, 1TB
The dome-styled twin of our budget wired workhorse: an 8-channel analog HD DVR (D242A81B) with a preinstalled 1TB security-grade drive and four 1080p HD CVI dome cameras (C221NC). The low-profile IP67 domes blend into eaves and ceilings while smart motion detection distinguishes people and vehicles from ordinary movement — intelligent push alerts at the friendliest price in the wired lineup.
Infrared night vision covers the dark hours, storage expands well beyond the included 1TB with no cloud fees ever, and Smart Search plus digital zoom speed up footage review. The Lorex Classic app handles remote viewing with voice support through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, plus TV viewing via Apple TV and Chromecast. A panic button and a 24/7-rated hard drive round out a dependable foundation for homes and small businesses. Kit: D24281-2ND4-E (4 dome cameras, 4 channels open).

Is this 1080p CVI dome system right for you?
Discreet wired HD with smart alerts — the same budget workhorse as our CVI bullet kit, in the quieter housing.
Buy this system if:
- You want cameras that blend into eaves, porches, and ceilings rather than announce themselves.
- You're covering a home, shop, or office where 1080p at close-to-mid range does the job.
- You want fee-free wired recording at the entry price point, with 4 channels spare to grow.
Consider another option if:
- Visible deterrence matters — the CVI bullet version is this same system with cameras that read as a warning.
- You need sharper identification detail — the Elite A4 2K dome system doubles the resolution on an IP platform.

Frequently asked questions
Dome or bullet — which should I pick?
Same imaging and recorder, different housing. Domes are discreet and harder to redirect; bullets are visible and act as deterrents. Many properties mix both across the 8 channels.
What is CVI?
HD CVI carries high-definition video over coax cable — simple, inexpensive wiring that runs long distances reliably and matches the cabling in many existing installs.
Are there monthly fees?
No — footage records locally to the 1TB drive (expandable), and the Lorex Classic app works without subscription.
Can I add more cameras later?
Yes — four of the eight channels remain open for additional compatible CVI cameras, dome or bullet.
Does it work with Alexa or Google?
Yes — voice control and viewing are supported through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple TV, and Chromecast.
How is it shipped?
Ships free and insured, typically arriving in 7–10 days with tracking.
