Lorex Technology Logo

Founded in 1991 by the Canadian Klein family of consumer electronics manufacturers, Lorex Technology began as a humble company specializing in security and surveillance solutions. Throughout the last years of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, the company manufactured and distributed surveillance cameras and home security equipment.

With the passage of time, Lorex started manufacturing various products such as video intercoms, baby monitors, car dashboard cameras and other electronic devices. Notably, it was Lorex that introduced easy-to-use plug-in security systems designed for households and micro-enterprises, spurring the development of the DIY security sector.

In the 2010s, the company focused its resources on developing integrated home and app technologies that allowed users to access camera footage via mobile devices from anywhere. In the mid-2010s, Lorex expanded its horizons, which was evident in the 2016 acquisition of IC Realtime, a large video surveillance company.

Lorex is now a leader in the camera and surveillance equipment industry, serving a wide range of customers from individual consumers to large commercial enterprises. Operating under the wing of FLIR Systems, Lorex maintains an international presence and focuses on products that promote safety and security.
