    Which camera would be better?

    yes I am wanting to upgrade a camera that I have with low light. Had I known I shot myself in the foot by using BNC cameras I wouldn’t have to try and find an upgraded camera.

    Which camera would be better?

    I know I’ve been told many times to upgrade my system to ip cameras and a NVR but I’m not looking to do that right now. I have an off the shelf Lorex DVR system from Best Buy I’d like to get a better camera (single) between these two which would be better...

    the cameras are installed in the eaves of the house so can’t really install them any lower. The driveway is the only one that is higher just because of the way the house was built.

    well after paying for said items she told me they didn’t have the updated stock and apparently were out of those as well. Are those cameras indeed better or should I try and find the ones @mat200 recommended earlier? Looks like I’m back to square 1 again, for now slightly upgrading the current...

    for now I’ve given up on the plates and will upgrade my current cameras to have slightly better quality. Then at a later date I will look into getting an LPR camera with its own baby NVR setup. I’m just hoping the cameras I bought are better than what I currently have. Built in mic is a plus for me!

    Ironically that is a dead end street for now so the cars have to turn left, so I could move that red box slightly to the right, or leave it there? edit: sorry I meant to say I live on the corner house so the white car is facing the dead end of the street. Just trying to make sense

    both of those options are compatible with my system now? Just unplug one and plug in the new? Sorry, this is all new to me

    Yes the cops came out and asked if we had the video. I gave it to the neighbor which will forward it to the one who is working the case. I’ve never had to do anything like that before so it took me awhile to figure out how to extract the footage lol. Hopefully someone close by knows the crew or...

    ok that makes sense. My options are limited since my setup is analog and don’t really have the means to upgrade to ip right now

    would this be better than what I have currently? I know it’s not much but a small upgrade would be feasible especially if it’s just a plug and play https://www.lorextechnology.com/downloads/security-cameras/LAB243/LAB243_Series_Spec_R1.pdf

    So are the defaulted camera settings ok to use in the case of just security and overview? Again not sure why I can’t change the settings without the DVR constantly restarting. Here is a snapshot of all the cameras I have laid out; and yes I know I need to adjust a few of them but it’s hot in...

    well I have several of these cameras placed around my house for security; as well as a ring camera doorbell for the knockers. Mainly wanted to know what I could add or use with my setup now to better help the situation really. I know ip cameras are better but that’s not an option right now so I...

    Long story short my next door neighbors car got ran into and the person drove away! They came and asked me if my cameras caught anything and while the answer was yes, my driveway camera caught the act of doing but that’s it. I don’t know if it was my settings or what but I tried for hours trying...

    Little newbie question

    That kit above comes with the E892AB Camera which I have no idea is good or bad. I also see they have an E893AB Camera but is separate from the kit. I have the hard drive and cabling so it might be cheaper to piece one together?

    Little newbie question

    I found this kit somewhat of interest but didn’t know what you guys thought. I could always buy two more cameras to get back my 6 I have now N84283T-48AB-E

    Little newbie question

    I don’t mind running new cable if I get a new system but wanted to keep the cost down or re-use what I could. Kick myself in the pants for not taking down the old system, as I paid a pretty penny back then. Guess I need to look at switching over to a full NVR setup again but like I said keep the...

    Little newbie question

    I was hoping they made an adapter or something but I didn’t know how it all processed anyways. Are there any Lorex NVR kits one would recommend fairly priced?

    This was my old quote I found Qty 5 - DH-IPC-HDW5831R-ZE Qty 4 - DH-IPC-HDW4831EM-ASE Qty 1 - NVR4216-16P-4KS2 How would I connect the BNC cable to the NVR is what I’m asking? I understand you would normally run ip cameras but I’m asking if it’s possible to keep my current camera system and...

    Little newbie question

    Hi everyone, I’ve been searching and reading a lot just never posted anything. Long story short, I used to have a dahua system that I bought from Andy back in the day. We sold that house and instead of taking the system with us I decided to just buy a new one later. Fast forward to present time...
