I must be an idiot. I’ve got IE and I plug the computer into the NVR(I am suppose to do this correct?) I enter in the default IP into the browser and it just says site can’t be reached. I must be missing an obvious step. Much appreciate the assistance.

I’ll try all of this, thank you so much. I’m not sure it will let me change anything though. Anytime I try to goto it it asks me for camera password

It does not show solo either, tried that. It’s just a black screen. Camera is working because light comes on with motion, etc. I’m open to changing DVR’s but I do have a Lorex doorbell cam and a cpl of others that work just fine. Just wanted something better for backyard coverage

this is very helpful, thanks. I will try this. and yes I understand what you have said but the purpose of this thread was how easy it was to set up these cameras with a Lorex DVR. The NVR does recognize the camera, but there is no picture. The dot is red next to the feed. So I was told to...

Yeah I have the default IP and it tells me to connect my computer to NVR and then place up in web browser and open. It just doesn’t work with mac/chrome safari. So I dunno I’ll keep trying to figure it out If he has customer support I can’t find it. You are correct, my knowledge of network...

Yeah this camera from EmpireTech has been a nightmare. Love the camera, but the installation is idiotic. It seems like they aren’t aware of Apple Computers, and I cannot do anything on a Mac with it. NVR recognizes it but the dot is red. I can register, but need the camera password. The...

I finally got in, dot is red. Try to reconnect IPac and it’s asking for camer password. How am I suppose to know this password for a new camera?

Unless I’m insane those are 6 numbers yes?

It’s all numbers, but I’ll make sure I did not have any spaces. Thank you again

Trying to do this now and I can’t seem to even get logged into the NVR. Says password wrong. I reset emails me a temp password says that’s wrong. I’d like to take a hammer to it next

yeah I am about to go try and get it working. Camera is working bc the motion light comes on when I approach. I have registered or logged in the camera, others didn’t ask me. But I will try that. Appreciate the help

sorry for the dumb question, but how do I know if substream is active?

Ok Ty. Only have 2 cameras on a systems that is suppose to hold 8. This would be the 3rd.

Thank you I will search for that

this has been a very help forum. I replaced one of my cameras with one suggested….plugged into Lorex NVR and it’s not as plug and play as I hoped. It’s recognizing the camera but it’s a black screen and shows what the attached pic shows. Any help would be massively appreciated!
