Thanks to its 360º Pan-Tilt system, the Lorex 2K Pan-Tilt Outdoor Wi-Fi Security Camera ultimately allows homeowners and business owners alike to easily and conveniently cover every angle within the outer-side of their property and consequently eliminate any potential blind spots that would otherwise be exploitable.

Then, whenever very low light conditions are detected for which the camera stops being capable of properly recording video footage with its Color Night Vision function (meaning with a visibly understandable video-quality), the device’s IR Night Vision sensor is automatically activated, which ultimately ensures a proper video footage once again, but just in Infrared-quality (i.e. in Black-and-White), of course.
