    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    Ooh, nice. I'll wait and see if anyone with greater skills than I possess to crack open these new ones and see if they're "upgradable". Thanks, I hadn't thought to meddle with them like this. Appreciate the heads-up, Mat.

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    One last thing I just noticed and then I swear I'll stop bumping this thread needlessly. I'm not sure if it's lens placement, minor discrepancies in the casting tolerances, or just shoddy assembly overall, but every single camera seems to give a slightly different picture than another. I have...

    Also, of note: I noticed that the cameras felt really hot. I used a temp gun to see, because it was almost uncomfortable to the touch. 110-112°. Yowza. I don't remember the old ones getting that hot.

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    Just an addendum, a third (!) camera has gone on the fritz. That's three that were working out of the box and in just over a week's time have turned out defective. The QC on this set is severely lacking. And Lorex has gone radio silent on the warranty replacement from the first defec cam. So...

    Also, it seems from your research that the 1/1.8" sensor might be gone for the foreseeable future in these kits. It might not ever come back, or until things in the supply chain start normalizing again. Who the hell knows when that will be.

    Yes. The motion was smoother with the old cameras during the evening, and I don't mean fps. Something about the way the video was being rendered. It may be the live view only, I haven't pulled raw footage from the NVR to see. But I liked the image quality of the older cameras much more. It...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    She loves the lights, and trying to explain to her that I can put small motion activated lights right next to each camera didn't seem to sink in. She likes the two-way audio, even though we live in a state that requires 2-party consent to record audio. She also likes the improved motion...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    No POE switch, but did test on faulty cams of different channels, and fresh cables. Same defect. What's troubling is it seems to take a few days for the cams to fail. So maybe they're overheating, maybe a component is shorting out, but whatever it is, if the cameras aren't reliable, the system...

    Dahua 8MP Lite model cameras with 8MP 1/2.7" and 4MP 1/3" sensors labeled as "starlight" models. September 2020

    The info on Costco's page is very, very wrong. They are not 1/1.8" sensors. They are 1/2.8". If you get the camera's spec page from Lorex's site, it clearly states this, but don't use the .pdf on the product page either, that is for yet another different camera. I have this set, and I've been...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    Okay, a couple of days in and I've hit some problems. I'm hoping people here with a lot more knowledge and experience can help me troubleshoot. I installed the cameras Wednesday/Thursday. By Friday one camera on channel 2 had started blinking on and off in the live view every few minutes...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    Some comparison pics from the older kit cameras (LNB8005) from Costco a couple years back, along with the new kit cameras in the OP (E892AB). Daylight, color night, and extremely low light. Older cams have a narrower FOV, in case they don't upload in the order I select them, that being older...

    Yet another new lorex Costco kit. 4k IP Fusion + alarm kit

    I've been doing some testing of this kit as a possible replacement for the old, original "4k" lorex kit sold by Costco a couple years back. Results from day 1 are here, please feel free to critique or make specific requests for info. Lorex 4K UHD 8-channel Fusion NVR Security System with 8...
