    Software that supports Lorex wireless cameras and flood light cameras

    I have a Lorex NVR with 7 wireless cameras and recently also purchased a Lorex floodlight camera and 2 wireless cameras. The Lorex NVR can detect those wireless cameras but can not add them. I searched Lorex website and seems a Fusion NVR would work with them. However, since these wireless...

    Best way to use Lorex NVR?

    Thanks for your reply. can you explain more about "ensure that you are correctly configuring the camera settings and that the IP addresses align with your network setup. ". The cameras are factory reset and I make sure I can get to the webUI of the cameras. So the IP is correct and I assume...

    Best way to use Lorex NVR?

    ok, it is always a pain to add cameras to my Lorex LNR616 NVR. Once the cameras are added usually it works fine. This is currently how I set it up. The NVR is in a location that close to most of the cameras but not possible to connect a keyboard and monitor to it so I just use the Lorex cloud...

    My Lorex NVR lost connection to the Z4E camera. I tried to access the webUI of the camera but was denied due to wrong password which is weird. I guess right now I need to find a way to factory reset the camera and re-add it back to the NVR. I tried to use Dahua config tool as there is an...

    Thanks all the help. Eventually got it show up in the NVR. However, I can not zoom in to my preferred position. it is motorized varifocal so should be able to adjust it remotely. Can anyone guide how to do it within Lorex NVR?

    Thanks wittaj for your reply. it is a 16 channel NVR and I am only using 4 so i do not think it is a capacity issue. I do not have a 12V power plug but I can get a POE injector to test as long as someone can tell me what type of POE injector works with this camera.
