Lorex is a Canadian-based business that sells security surveillance equipment to individuals as well as businesses. There are various camera options and packages available depending on your needs as a homeowner or business owner. Their devices are also compatible with smart home systems such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, providing an extra bit of convenience.
Their devices allow you to remotely monitor your home security by using high-quality security cameras and their Lorex app. All Lorex devices are set up and monitored via a web browser or the app, which is available on both Apple and Android devices.
To set up your Lorex system, you will use the default password and username provided by Lorex. A default password is a predetermined password that provides access to a device and is used to make setting up devices easy and universal. Usually, these will be the same for all devices from a particular company or a certain product line. These defaults help you to set up your devices, but it is crucial that you change the password upon setting up.
Hackers can easily gain access to your security system if they know the default password to your devices. Such defaults are not hard to find, a simple Google search can provide anyone with such details in a matter of seconds. If a hacker gains access to the admin account of your device, they could change your settings or even lock you out of your own account.
By not changing your default password, you are creating a security risk because this is one of the biggest causes of security compromise. Your security surveillance is definitely not something you want strangers or hackers to have access to, so it is important that you change the default. For Lorex, the default password is ‘000000’ and the username is ‘admin’. This means that anyone with this knowledge can have access to your security system.
When creating a new password, make sure it fits the following criteria to be sure that it is secure:

Using Lorex security surveillance devices provides your properties with security, but what about online security? In today’s technologically advanced world, the information we store online is just as sensitive and critical as that which is stored in our homes and offices. An online security breach can be just as devastating as a break-in or burglary. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you take the necessary precautions to protect your information on the internet.
Most people are unaware of the potential threats to online security and make themselves vulnerable to being hacked. The vast majority of people understand the importance of home security, but it should be highlighted that internet security holds just as much importance.
One of the best forms of online security is password managers. These can either be built into your web browser or an independent application. We recommend using independent applications as they can be used to access multiple devices, operating systems, and browsers. The main function of a password manager is to manage your passwords for you, meaning that you no longer have to remember long, complex passwords.
Often times passwords are either weak and therefore easy to crack or are stored insecurely. If not safely stored, even the strongest password can be used to hack an account. Hacking has become one of the most prevalent cybercrimes, and having secure passwords is the best line of defense against this.
Passwarden is a highly secure password manager, using military-level encryption to ensure your passwords cannot be accessed by anyone else. Our software can also assist in automatically generating strong passwords for you, providing you with peace of mind. Not only that, but Passwarden has an impressive feature that will notify you if your personal information has been leaked through a data breach at any point. With Passwarden, you are provided with all-around password security.
