I am having a similar issue, but not because of the version. I am still using 5.7.1.3. I was trying to convert an MKV file to MP4 and the computer locked up. Once I rebooted, my alerts stop posting. Motion is triggering as before and all cameras are recording, but nothing to the alerts list...

I had the Lorex system with 6 cameras. Same experience about 2 years ago. Turned out the internal network adapter in the NVR died. Lorex said I could purchase a new NVR. I took the opportunity to go with Blue Iris. Much happier. Hope yours is something else, but Blue Iris is so much better.

When my Lorex NVR died (Ethernet port died), I switched to BI. One silver lining was in side the Lorex NVR was a WD 2TB drive. I used this in my BI machine build.

Agreed. In my situation, I repurposed one of my 6 Lorex cameras in the picture above. I am upgrading, my cameras, this will be one. I think the lorex is a 4mm. I don't want the wall, soffit or Ahole neighbors house in the frame. Any specific recommendation on a suitable camera? Just bought...

That is what I did. I left the IR on at the camera, but get the effect I wanted.

Great thread. I relatively new to to all this. But, as I learned in this thread--I could put to use an old Fire 7 as an monitor. Works great. Thanks all for the great information.

I can't disagree. As a newbie, just playing around with coverage and going cheap. Continuing to learn before higher investment in better cameras.

I am a newbie, I had a lorex camera in the garage. It was kind of a waste having an outdoor camera inside. So, I bought a 2 pack of Reolink E1 Pro cameras and swapped out the Lorex for one of the Reolinks. Very happy with the swap. The 2 pack was about $85, look like the price jumped abit...

Is there a way to print out each cameras settings with the goal of comparing settings? I only have a few cameras, but I don't think I was consistent as I installed each one.

I have been using BI for a while and just found out about ZeroTier. Set it up a few days ago. WiFi working fine, but I couldn't get my android phone working away from the house. Walked through settings multiple times, no joy. Then started walking through step by step and discovered I entered...

Thank a bunch for your help. I will start making adjustments per your instructions. Will be nice to get the blur down.

Yes, new to this. I am on the default settings. I can get to the camera settings. I see brightness and contrast, but not shutter specifically. I am trying to get back to the Jan 19 and Feb 1st 5am exposure. The Feb 1st 6pm causes the IR lights to be visible from the street and I am trying...

Thanks, I understand. I used a bad example for the AM pic. Due to the light across the street it is normally in color due to the street light. See this example. In color without the IR going crazy. Wet pavement isn't the cause, I don't think.

Any thoughts are appreciated. See PICS below. Why is my IR on full at 6pm, when the Smart IR setting set the IR at a more moderate level at 5am same day. Nothing was adjusted in BI or in the camera settings.

When adding the cameras to BlueIris had to code (within BlueIris) the main and substreams to work. See this link: Install on a laptop with expected results

I was in the same boat for a different reason. I had the same Lorex system. NVR died (bonus - NVR had a 2TB WD Purple drive in it). I wanted to keep the cameras, so I installed Blue Iris on an old laptop. 3 cameras were too much for the little processor. So, following guidance from this...

Yeah, but I have the 2tb from the Lorex NVR. I will start with that. I will have 2 4tb wd reds as I am upgrading my Synology NAS. One of the 4tb reds may also end up in the BI server. I have no idea if that makes any sense or not. But I'm learning.

Guess what FedEx dropped off today: A HP Elitedesk 800 G2 with 8G Ram and 500G SSD i7-6700. I will be adding a 2TB Purple WD drive. I would like to bump the memory to 16G. Is this just a matter of adding another 8GB memory card. Any recommendations on reasonable sources for memory?

Thanks, I thought so.

Anyone know if there is a limit to HDD size on a HP EliteDesk 800 G2-SFF i7-6700 ? In other words, a refurb unit I am looking at has Windows 10 on an SSD and I would like to add a 2TB or 4TB Purple drive. On the spec sheet, I am seeing a limit of 500GB. Hopefully I am misunderstanding what...

Yep, just figured it out. Works like a charm. Nice way to test new cameras. Thanks Again.

Thanks very much. That helped a lot. 3 cameras were banging the CPU at 100% constantly. Substream coding dropped the CPU % to below 70%. This will work temporarily until I get a server setup. Still trying to understand your third line about "URL with VLC". Working on it and a lot to learn...

Lorex LNB8005-C

I had a Lorex system and the NVR stopped working. Decided to go with BI to utilize the Lorex cameras (3 of 6). So I bought BI and installed on an i5 laptop with Windows 8. I opened the Lore NVR and took out the 2TB Purple WD and attached it to the laptop with a USB dock. Added the cameras...

Where did you find the settings?

Hi All, Found this forum while searching for a solution to my Lorex NVR no longer communicating with the network. I'm retired accountant and love to tinker with electronics. Lorex tells me the NVR is no good and out of warranty. So I bought a PoE switch. After some playing around got one...
