When the six-year-old girl from Scotland saw her father unconscious from a severe fall, without a phone, she turned to the only device she could use, the Alexa smart speaker for assistance, and ultimately saved her father’s life. Real-life stories like this highlight the importance of accessible communication tools. But what if voice activation or smartphones weren’t an option?

While smart home assistants can be lifesaving, smartphones might not be readily available to young children and elderly family members, and smart home devices which require user accounts to function properly, can be overly complicated to set up and navigate. A one-touch call button, like the one built into the new Lorex 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Camera, provides a more intuitive, family-friendly solution that anyone regardless of age and technical skill can use.

Smart home security is often marketed with surveillance and deterrence in mind, but Lorex’s 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt camera brings something different to the table. 

Emergency response time is just as critical as security. Designed as more than just a security device, the Lorex camera also features a one-touch button and two-way audio to facilitate communication, through which family members can connect in everyday and emergency situations. Instead of fumbling with voice commands or navigating phone apps, a one-touch call button offers a more reliable, direct way to stay connected. Not only can children or elderly reach out easily in an emergency, but the two-way audio also allows parents to check in with kids, babysitter or delivery driver remotely, in real-time.

The Lorex 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Camera is the only dual-lens indoor model with one-touch button available today, turning home security into a practical communication tool that offers real-time engagement. 

Core to the camera design is the pan-and-tilt feature that provides an expanded field of view that offers 360° horizontal and 90° vertical coverage, letting homeowners monitor the entire room and large spaces without blindspots.

Another standout feature of the camera is its built-in AI detection technology, which identifies people, pets, and vehicles. The technology automatically follows movement to focus on objects of interest, reducing unnecessary alerts. Users can even adjust the camera focus manually.

Privacy and cost are other key considerations when choosing security devices. Many smart cameras with AI capabilities rely on cloud storage, meaning footage is stored externally, and that often raises concern about data security. With Lorex however, users get the flexibility to opt for local storage, which not only ensures complete control over data, but also eliminates recurring subscription fees for cloud storage. At just under $100, the camera delivers a high-tech, easy-to-use solution with premium features without the hefty price tag.

Emergencies can happen when we least expect them, and access to fast, reliable communication can make all the difference. The Lorex 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Camera  combines the best features of security and communications, providing a simpler, more intuitive way for families to stay connected and keep their households safe.
