TL;DR: SEiNG gives your Lorex cameras managed UK cloud storage across every site, with AI search, proper access control and no on-site recorders to fill up or lose. You keep the Lorex cameras you already have.
Lorex cameras are a popular choice for small businesses: affordable, sharp, and easy to install. But once you’re running Lorex across more than one site, the usual setup of an NVR in each building and an app on your phone starts to creak. This guide explains how to get Lorex cloud storage that works across every location, without replacing the cameras you already own.
Lorex is a video security brand founded in 1991 and headquartered in Markham, Ontario, Canada. It has been owned by Skywatch, a Taiwan-based cloud services company, since 2022, and operates across North America and the UK.
The catch is what happens to the footage. Lorex systems are built around recording on site, one property at a time, and that's where multi-site businesses start to feel the strain.
Most Lorex systems record to a network video recorder (NVR) on site. Footage stays on that box, and you view it through the Lorex app or by logging into the recorder. That works well for one shop or one office. It becomes harder to manage when you have several.
SEiNG is a fully managed cloud CCTV platform (video surveillance as a service, or VSaaS). It connects to your Lorex cameras and records their footage to secure UK cloud storage, so every site is visible from one place. SEiNG is built by Alert Data, is approved on the UK Government's G-Cloud 15 framework, and starts from £5 per camera per month.
SEiNG works with any ONVIF or RTSP camera, and Lorex is no exception. The platform has been tested with the Lorex E842CDB. If your Lorex cameras are a different model, they're very likely to be compatible, and you can confirm it with a 30-day free proof of concept.
Lorex cameras connect to SEiNG through the SEiNG Cloud Gateway, a small plug-and-play device that securely sends video streams from your cameras to the cloud. Setup is simple enough to do yourself in a few steps. Or, because SEiNG is a managed service, our team can do the whole thing for you.
The Gateway also offers optional local buffering for resilience, bandwidth management for rural or large sites, and an optional dual-network setup for cyber hardening.
Imagine a business with four shops, each with a Lorex NVR. The operations manager wants to check an incident at one store but is at head office. Today, that means finding the right app login, remembering which recorder covers which camera, and scrubbing through the timeline. With Lorex cloud storage through SEiNG, they open one platform, choose the site, filter by time and event, and share a secure clip in minutes.
SEiNG has no upfront costs, licence fees or paid add-ons. It's one subscription priced per camera, from £5 a month, covering unlimited storage, enterprise features and support. Book a demo for a quote based on your sites and cameras.
