Is Lorex Technology Chinese company

Lorex Technology Company:

Both Lorex and Ezviz are providers of home security systems, including cameras and smart home accessories. They are also both owned by Chinese companies: Lorex is a subsidiary of Dahua Technology, and Ezviz is a video surveillance camera brand owned by Hitachi Tech & Home Solutions Co., Ltd. These two brands have been operating under the same name for over 30 years.

Although they operate in different countries, they both use almost the same advertising strategy. Despite this, it does not seem like Lorex has any physical presence outside China because its logo is only visible on the company website. Lorex’s main competitors include Midea, Arlo, Sivola, Ecovideo and other companies. The first competitor offered to buy it was Sivola, but later Sivola pulled out of the deal. Lorex did not disclose any information about this deal. So we cannot say if Lorex is actually Chinese. Let us see what can tell us more.


Lorex – Does It Actually Exist In Canada, USA And Great Britain?

Lorex’s headquarters are located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. There are no signs or signs around their office. According to Lorex’s CEO Brian Bussett, Lorex began exporting its products from America and Great Britain, but now that it is an overseas company, it does all international sales in North America. He claimed that Lorex has built a number of manufacturing facilities in these three nations, some even overseas: “As far as we know, our most recent Canadian customers are primarily Canadian governments and military agencies. We are continuing to take advantage of existing relationships with local distributors of ours, and will soon start working from a new location in Montreal, Quebec.”

Lorex uses Canada and United Kingdom as its key markets and sells its products to dozens of states and territories in Eastern Europe, South Asia and Africa. Lorex is one of many competitors in the market that offers video surveillance systems with multiple cameras. The company’s product line includes professional and residential CCTV equipment with video streaming and live-streaming features. One of Lorex’s major advantages is the large number of sensors used in its cameras. For instance all its cameras will capture 1080P HD videos instead of 720P HD. They can be connected up to five times with Ethernet and more than 250-feet cord to get better video quality when recording at places where there is no electricity or access to power. Their pricing system is based on the price, so you can choose the right package for your budget. Lorex also supports Wi-Fi connection, which means that you can connect your devices to the Internet without worrying about how they work and not having to worry about the internet.


Ezviz – Can I Trust This Brand? Why Should I Buy Them?

Ezviz Company Camera

Ezviz is a digital video surveillance camera brand owned by Hikvision Digital Camera Corporation and headquartered in Shenzhen, China. As compared to Lorex, Ezviz comes with several cameras with different cameras for both commercial and consumer applications.

When buying Ezviz, you do not need to look for the company that says on the box because the company itself supplies the cameras. When purchasing a Ezviz camera, you might get a set of 3 cameras or there can be 6 cameras. Although the packaging is very plain, Ezviz products have unique designs: all Ezviz models look extremely nice and sophisticated, just like the brand. Some of Ezviz models come with 10GB hard disk space, while others come with 32GB. They also offer various versions: single model, double model and 4-box version. Since Ezviz has such a broad list of models, you could still consider it as a popular camera among young people. Even though Ezviz offers multiple cameras and lots of varieties, they have not established a really competitive position yet, unlike Lorex that operates almost everywhere except China and Korea.

However, Ezviz cameras are available at retailers worldwide, including Amazon, Newegg, Apple Stores and many other stores. The sales history shows that Ezviz had started with 5,000 units sold, but Ezviz sold only 50,000 before being discontinued. Moreover, the company ceased releasing models after 2004 and is now making only 1,000 per year, which leads you to question: Will Ezviz stay relevant to younger consumers who prefer older models? After analyzing the historical data of Ezviz, it looks like the brand has already achieved significant success.

If Ezviz keeps growing, then they are going to stay in the top. That might indicate that the brand might not have much competition to catch up with Lorex. Nevertheless, Ezviz has already captured the hearts of fans: there were 14,000 reviews within one week of posting this article and the average rating of buyers was 9.1/10.


Conclusion:

Both Lorex and Ezviz were established in China, so Lorex probably doesn’t need to focus on expanding internationally (the fact that Lorex has never sold a European country suggests so) but it would definitely be interesting for Lorex’s owners to build its overseas business. Lorex already has a huge global presence.

What Lorex should focus on doing is building a bigger international footprint with its Asian assets (and maybe with a few more European countries). Lorex claims that Lorex has made great progress, especially recently: Lorex saw a revenue increase of almost 30% between March and October this year.

So Lorex can grow its revenues again and hopefully, the company will have a strong financial position in terms of cash flow as well. Lorex also offers comprehensive security solutions. Lorex currently manufactures several security systems, but its overall production rate is quite low.

Therefore, Lorex should launch its next series of security systems to become the leader in the field. Lorex has a lot of opportunities to improve its core business: if Lorex wants to keep growing, it will probably want to expand into the U.S. too. Thus, Lorex would want to diversify its offerings beyond CCTV equipment.
