    Lorex Fusion Dahua Compatability

    Hello all, I am trying to figure out if the Lorex N864A64B NVR is made by Dahua and if the Dahua/Empiretech cameras are compatible with it. I cannot find info on this specific NVR but it does look like the Dahua cameras work with other Lorex fusion NVRs

    Lorex NVR with GW Security Camera

    Lorex claims that their N864A64B NVR is ONVIF compliant. GW claims that their GW6050MMIC camera is ONVIF compliant. Both vendors have answered my specific questions. When I connect GW6050MMIC to N864A64B, they won't work. I left them connected for about 30 minutes. The Lorex NVR does not detect...
