    Lorex vs Unifi Cameras

    I think it's primarily the user experience with the software/app to be able to capture all events in a more user friendly way. Plus, my NVR right now has 8 slots but I need to install another 8 cameras. The NVR system I have is the Lorex Fusion, so I know I can add to my switch and then still...

    Lorex vs Unifi Cameras

    Hi - I have a Lorex system right now and have two EmpireTech cameras but considering my home network is now on Unifi. I am wondering if I should swap out the Lorex system for Unifi. Thoughts? I was thinking of the G5 line or the new AI line possibly, but am finding it difficult to find...

    PTZ Camera Recommendation

    Hi - i have a Lorex system and NVR, with two EmpireTech cameras. One of them is a PTZ which was model # SD49225XA-HNR. Now I believe there are better units out there now with auto tracking with AI, etc. I do see Lorex has one called P11 and then I also saw a video of on Youtube of Viewtron...

    Unable to access SD49225XA-HNR behind Lorex NVR

    Thanks I am wondering if I can buy Blue Iris and get it to work that way. Do you think it is possible? Lastly now somehow I don’t know what I may have enabled today but Lorex app is notifying as an alert ‘aiunknownarea’ alert but without any screen capture. I suspect that is through the...

    Blue iris discount - Out of stock?

    I am exploring blue iris as a supplement to the NVR to get more capabilities. Is the $34.99 just for renewals or new members as well?

    Unable to access SD49225XA-HNR behind Lorex NVR

    Yeah I don’t think the Lorex NVR is that capable or maybe I haven’t found it yet — by turning off motion detection it takes away from the notification alerts so figuring out how the ptz ive rule can work to notify

    Unable to access SD49225XA-HNR behind Lorex NVR

    So my only thing I’m wondering now is how do I get notified on the Lorex app once the rule triggers and records? I didn’t get any notification this morning when it did trip the rule that was set. I am wondering if I just need to enable vehicle and person detection on the Lorex mobile app I do...

    Unable to access SD49225XA-HNR behind Lorex NVR

    Thanks - I was able to find a PDF that Andy has on this forum around tripwire but I will use your recommended settings. Firefox was allowing to setup a time, so I set it to 30 seconds as in the PDF. Now, a quick clarification question. The Motion Detection and Smart Motion Detection you are...

    Unable to access SD49225XA-HNR behind Lorex NVR

    Thanks -- so i was using Safari on a Mac. Will try a windows laptop tomorrow. I would go with another NVR but due to the mobile app, even though it's not great - it's a nice convenience with Lorex. Now, I do know this model I bought had auto-tracking/etc. which was subsequently disabled by...
