    Lorex LNB8005B-C and Dahua firmware (Solved with instructions)

    I was not able to use the Lorex version but have been successful using the Dahua branded. All TFTP functions remain plus now I can use the web browser and Dahua Config Tool to chang firmware as well.

    Lorex LNB8005B-C and Dahua firmware (Solved with instructions)

    That's great. I've been asking them for an ONVIF fix for more than a year. They said the firmware I was running was up to date and there was nothing I could do. After scouring the internet for weeks, I was able to find both the Dahua firmware and the necessary support files to fix them. It is...

    Lorex to Dahua firmware upgrade

    Thanks. I'll give 13 a try. 14 failed to load the primary stream so I went back to 10.

    Lorex LNB8005B-C and Dahua firmware (Solved with instructions)

    I was able to finally figure it out with the help of a few different forum members. Thanks! This firmware was the latest I could find that ran without issues but seems to be missing features like IVS, Face Detection, Smart Plan that should be there according to other threads...

    Lorex to Dahua firmware upgrade

    Thanks to you and the others before you, I was able to TFTP upgrade the camera to Dahua firmware. I am not 100% sure which firmware is best but at least ONVIF works now.

    Lorex to Dahua firmware upgrade

    These are pre-pandemic era cameras. c. 2018-2019 My stumbling block right now is the missing commands.bat file which seems to create the files needed to upgrade

    Lorex to Dahua firmware upgrade

    Hate to dig up an old subject but I am in need of upgrading my Lorex LN8005-C cameras to Dahua firmware. The Lorex versions are not very good and ONVIF functionality is hit and mostly miss. I am following this thread but am missing some critical detail. Specifically, what is the commands.bat...

    Lorex LNB8005B-C and Dahua firmware (Solved with instructions)

    Hate to dig up an old thread but I am missing some critical detail. Specifically, what is the commands.bat that is constantly mentioned but not supplied? The link on the other threads to the tools where this files is located is broken. I see my cameras hitting my TFTP server but the are...

    How important is Quick Sync?

    I think I have reached the best balance of CPU and image quality with this combination. Anything below 15FPs on the Hik cameras was unacceptable and the CPU savings was not there either. Had a difficult time setting i-frame interval. It either would not take or would always reset to some...

    How important is Quick Sync?

    Thanks. I don't have control over that system but they spent a lot of time optimizing it for their needs. I know they are using off some axis illumination to increase shutter speeds at night. No plans to bring them into BI.

    How important is Quick Sync?

    The three high frame rate cams are on another system not directly managed by me. They have it set up to better read license plates. I am only borrowing the RTSP streams for testing. The one cam that does not have matching FPS on both streams is managed there as well so I have no ability to...

    How important is Quick Sync?

    I have 64GB in the machine but BI is reporting only 1.35GB being used according to the status at the bottom. Task Manager shows 9% CPU usage with BI minimized. One BI task is 9% and the other is zero until I restore the screen but then I cannot see Task Manager. Only 5 other tasks using no...

    How important is Quick Sync?

    Right - I generally follow this for my configs. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/optimizing-blue-iris-s-cpu-usage/ The problem might indeed be the cameras. I have read there is newer firmware that has some H265 improvements. I've looked for the firmware but there is nothing from Lorex and I cannot...

    How important is Quick Sync?

    Will the lack of QS support cause problems with H.256 decoding? I am having trouble using that compression scheme on a Lorex branded 8MP bullet. It does not decode. H.264H works fine.

    How important is Quick Sync?

    Thanks- The Xeon processor is already on the motherboard so I'll start building and see what happens. I can add a half dozen 1MP and maybe four 8MP on my bench to test.

    How important is Quick Sync?

    I am assembling a BI server from my older parts stash. I have everything built on a SuperMicro motherboard with Xeon E3-1240 v5 @3.50GHz. The motherboard also supports Core i3-7320 @4.10GHz. The Xeon is twice the cores/threads as the i3 but lacks Intel Quick Sync support. Would it be worth...

    Is it worth using Dahua firmware on Lorex camera?

    Thanks MAT. Only issue I have is H265 does not work very well. Other brand cameras have no problem but none of the Lorex are stable with it. I am not sure if it is a setting problem such as VBR v CBR support or what but it is the only thing that has bugged me about these. Fortunately, I have...

    Is it worth using Dahua firmware on Lorex camera?

    I have a bunch of Lorex LN8005-C cameras running Lorex 2.460 firmware. Does the Dahua firmware make them work any better with BI? Threads like this one Lorex LNB8005B-C and Dahua firmware (Solved with instructions) show it is possible but to what end? What improvements will I see?

    Need Advise On Powering 2 Cameras

    If you cannot run another cable, cutting it and putting the US-8-60 in the garage is what I would do. I would then use that as an excuse to get a bigger switch for inside the house!

    Networked cameras back to LNR 6108 NVR

    It looks like my Lorex LNR 6108 can only support one networked camera and 8 cameras via direct connection. This limits me to the maximum Ethernet spec of 100m for the connected cameras. Does anyone know if I can insert a network device in between the camera and one of the POE ports on the NVR...

    Costco LNR 6108 -Did I make a mistake?

    So, talked to Costco. They want the whole thing back. I've already run wires and mounted cameras, two of them 20' up! Not going to rip it all out to get one camera fixed. Thought about buying a complete new system and return it with the bad one but they are out of stock and the other store...

    Costco LNR 6108 -Did I make a mistake?

    Quick update. The noise seems to be mostly vibration. I can apply pressure to the case or try to twist it and the sound is much improved. Still a little louder but not as annoying. Might be a crap fan inside. Ran some speed tests on the cable and port that was used for the NVR and they...

    Costco LNR 6108 -Did I make a mistake?

    I thought it was interesting as well. Night and day difference in sound level and frequency is much higher. Not sure if it is only a speed difference. I didn't start bench testing the cameras until I had this problem. :embarrassed: It was tested with a known good (short) patch cable...

    Thanks! I started to build my own NVR using the wiki and CN. Tons of useful information there. I was just about to buy the parts needed when I saw the Lorex LNR6108 on sale for $699 at Costco. I could not pass that deal up so I bought 2! However, I was less than excited when the second...

    Costco LNR 6108 -Did I make a mistake?

    I took advantage of the $699 sale at Costco for the Lorex LNR6108 by getting two of them. After a flawless installation of the first, the second one had some issues. First, there seems to be a bad camera. It is recognized by the system but there is no video. Sadly, I already painted and...
