Lorex Introduces New 2K Dual-Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Camera with Instant Assistance Feature

Published

on

MARKHAM, ON, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Lorex Technology announces the release of their first 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Security Camera, an innovative dual-purpose device, setting a new benchmark in both indoor monitoring and interactive technology.  

Equipped with two high-definition lenses in a compact vertical design, this camera not only delivers expansive coverage with the ability to monitor two separate areas simultaneously but the included call button transforms the camera into an instant video calling tool, providing an adaptable solution for various household needs.

Every Corner Covered

The dual lenses are strategically aligned to merge the views of two distinct areas into a unified single screen for comprehensive monitoring. To extend the range, the top camera sits on a rotating axis, enabling smooth pan-tilt adjustments, which delivers 360° panoramic view.

To offer a convenient hands-free tracking feature, the pan-tilt camera comes equipped with Auto-Tracking capabilities to monitor moving subject across the room, perfect for pets, young children or those who require assisted care. An enhancement to the Auto-Tracking feature is the ability to set Presets, allowing you to configure up to 8 locations, for instant navigation of multiple high traffic areas without the need for manual panning.

One-Touch for Instant Assistance

Lorex has redefined the indoor surveillance with the included one-touch call button, conveniently positioned on the front of the camera. This offers an instant safety feature, enabling the monitored individual to quickly contact the account holder or caregiver when assistance is needed.

“We recognize how crucial value is to our customer and appreciate the need for simplicity and efficiency,” said Leroy Lo, IoT Product Manager at Lorex Technology. “This 2-in-1 indoor camera with a call button is a perfect example, offering seamless monitoring and enhanced communication features in a single device. Also, with advanced image sensors and integrated local AI processing, the video footage is not only clear but secure.”

Clarity Counts:

To further enhance the monitoring experience, this device includes high-grade internal components, which produce precise 2K Resolution, ensuring critical details are captured. The clarity extends to nighttime video with the ability to record clear night vision, even in complete darkness.

Proactive Smart Alerts

With industry-leading chipsets, this camera can distinguish between motion caused by a person or an animal, sending real-time notifications to alert the owner. Paired with the 2-Way Talk function, users can directly communicate with the person or animal on the other end of the camera or choose a pre-recorded Quick Response message to respond instantly.

Add a little ambience

The Smart Security Lighting (SSL) LED band, offers versatile lighting options, allowing users to customize settings to serve as a nightlight or ambient mood lighting for a baby’s room or lounge area. Alternatively, can act as dynamic visual cues for motion notifications and updates.

In addition, the SSL band serves a crucial functioning role. When the one-touch call button is pressed, the band flashes red indicates the call request and changes and rotates green when answered, indicating the call is in progress.

Double the Privacy

Equipped with multiple privacy settings, users can easily rotate the top pan-tilt camera lens 180- degrees downward to ensure no video is captured. Additionally, with a simple tap of a button, privacy mode can be activated, instantly disabling both cameras from recording, providing complete peace of mind and control over privacy.

With various storage options available, users can store video directly on a local MicroSD card or choose Lorex Cloud Storage for double protection for their recordings.

Empowering users with control and ownership over their video recordings, this camera incorporates the guiding principles of the Lorex Video Vault™ Technology: Private by Design, Dedicated Local Storage, and In-Camera Edge Artificial Intelligence.

The Lorex 2K Dual Lens Indoor Pan-Tilt Security Camera is priced at $99.99 USD and is now available at Best Buy locations nationwide across the US and on BestBuy.com and Bestbuy.ca.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
