    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    Setup Help Needed to Access Camera IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED

    Thanks - to be honest i thought this would be a good camera to cover the front / carport area but I think it maybe best suited elsewhere. For example above the garage or around the outside garage area maybe a good fit. I think the door bell would be sufficient to capture the front area. I do...
