lorex

Hello. First timer here. I have enjoyed reading many links here. Very informative and helpful group. I'm hoping I can get some advice on what to do with a set of Lorex cameras we have and the NVR has died. Is this a situation in which we can use Blue Iris with our Windows computer? And if...

Updated photos from my last post, both are Lorex (Dahua OEM) 8MP LNB9272 1/1.8 Sensor 8MP LNB8005BW 1/2.5 Sensor Keep in mind I have no street lights, it was not a full moon and it was pitch dark outside. All settings are default set to auto for testing purposes.

Hello all. I'm new to this forum. I'm looking for recommendations of ONVIF cameras that are compatible with my Lorex DV916 DVR. I bought a Wiya Smart Camera which supports ONVIF and successfully added it to the DVR (status showed green), but there was no video. Contacted Lorex support who...

I own a Dahua NVR5232-4KS2 NVR and need recommendations for a camera that meets these specifications: • 4K video at 30fps • 2.7~3.2MM wide angle lens (varifocal is fine) • Must have audio input or a built-in microphone • SD card is optional • Must be compatible with Dahua's motion detection...

Hi all, I was able to setup an NVR for someone remotely with 6 lorex 4k cameras and a NR908 (couldn't do blue iris server, AFAIK, as they have a mac desktop). This is post Lorex/Dahua purchase, so everything working with post software updates (lorex cloud, etc). Very clear static images, but...

I am not really a technology buff. I rather just deal with it when I need it. The problems start when you select a company that assumes you know everything about their systems. Hmm.....that doesn't apply to me! I have a small house and barn and only two security cameras. Very easy...

Hey gang, I've noticed that since FLIR sold their LOREX line to Dahua they have discontinued their RapidRecap subscription & haven't announced any replacement. Youtube video example & another. Does anyone know of a competitor / alternative? I know lots of you are concerned about uploading to...

Hello, I was asked to help troubleshoot a problem with an existing Lorex system. I have no background except that I can fumble my way through things. The NVR, like mentioned in the title, is a NR-916-N. The complaint was that it wasn’t displaying camera output. On listening to it, it felt...

I was just in my local Costco and saw they have a new Lorex system they are selling. I picked up a kit to possible replace the Lorex system I got from Costco a year or 2 ago. The system isn't listed on the US Costco website but is on the Canadian one. It was $799.99 plus tax in store...

When I watch playback of motion detect videos it skips a few frames. For example if a car drives in front of my house I only see the first second of it driving by and the remaining few seconds of the car I do not see. If motion detect is not enabled and I watch playback of the motion the issue...

I was thinking about ordering a Dahua IPC-HFW5831E-ZE bullet camera (see link below). IPC-HFW5831E-ZE I just want to confirm its compatible with my current Lorex 4K NVR model LNR6163W (see link below). Also what are your thoughts of this camera? I currently have a total of 10 indoor / outdoor...

I have a Lorex LNB4173 bullet cam that I'm installing and am a little surprised to find it doesn't seem to be able to rotate around the axis perpendicular to the mounting base. If I mount it on the ceiling, it seems to be fixed pointing in that direction. I can move it up or down, but not around...

Hi folks, does anyone know the camera password for the default Lorex LNZ32P4B security cameras?

I am in market for 12-16 4K-2K Cameras with 16 Channel NVR for newly acquired bar/restaurant in Philly downtown . I read a lot here about Dahua cameras but not sure if it will fit within my budget. I also plan to hire professional to install rather than taking up big task myself. I am...

I am new to the forum and did not see a post about these two camera models (Lorex LNB9232 and LNB9272). For better or worse, I am going with a Lorex system (along with a couple Dahua Starlight cameras from Andy) for my property and wanted a mix of varifocal and fixed lens cameras. What I did not...

I'm considering getting a kit from Lorex and one is using an NR900 and the other is a NR900X For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the differences are. NR900X spec sheet: https://www.lorextechnology.com/downloads/security-nvr/NR900X/NR900X_Series_Specs_R1.pdf NR900 spec sheet...

hey guys, I bought this set a few years ago and it’s always had pretty sketchy interface controls and random issues with connections to its cameras. However I finally got around to trying to add a few more cams and now the problems have just multiplied (cameras regularly dropping...

Hi everyone, I bought a Lorex package from Costco,. They are POE cameras. During BF I bought another brand, Amcrest, POE and supports ONVIF. After hooking up the Amcrest to my Lorex NVR, I see on my Lorex screen that the Amcrest IP is 0.0.0.0, Lorex screen says its using ONVIF protocol. Any...

As Black friday rolls around the corner, I am looking for a security system that can fit my house. I know I really wanted a 4 camera system minimum but I came across this one at Costco and was wondering what people thought about it. This one isn't on sale but there is a 4 camera bullet style...

Hello, I have recently purchased Lorex NR916X-N NVR 16-channel system. When I received the system, I plugged all the cameras in nvr slot, nvr is connected to router, using upnp (default setting, just changed date and time). All the cameras are working except 2 case, Case 1: after plugging all...

I am trying to view cameras (LBV2521-C) connected to a Lorex LH2116 DVR and having a hard time configuring BI. Learned from another post I might have to create a user name ( non-admin) for each cam and add each cam using the newly created accounts on the Lorex DVR. Created user BICAM1 and I am...

Hi Everyone, First time poster, new to Security and Camera systems... but have a strong background in IT. I was trying to make my life simple to start out with a "kit", but am wondering if I will regret that decision. I just pulled the trigger on a Lorex "Summer Sale" NVR + 4x 4K Camera deal...

I'm looking to get the Amcrest 1080P Outdoor PTZ POE IP Camera Pan Tilt Zoom (Model IP2M-853EW) and connect it to my Lorex POE DVR. Does anyone know if doing this would work? What should I be on the lookout for? The camera appears to have POE and audio video cameras. My exissting cameras...

I recently bought a Lorex IP Camera but later found it was affected by the Dahua Generation 2/3 backdoor access. After finding out it was a Dahua rebrand (the WebUI looks identical), i searched for dahua-own firmware as it has a lot more customization and might cure the security flaw...

Hi everyone, I just got done building a new house and had pre-wiring done for security cameras. I finally got around to looking at some systems after having a dealer try to sell me on Luma cameras: Luma Surveillance I could not find much information about them, is anyone familiar with that...

Hi guys, A few years ago my dad had a questionable guy install an "HD" system, Im not happy with the resolution/quality of this system, keeps malfunctioning and can't identify faces and license plates at 50 feet away which is how far the street is from my front door.. I want to replace this...

I have a lorex lhv10081t NVR system with 8 cameras. I'm pretty sure the system is fried. The fan is frozen up and using a multimeter I can see that I do not get 5V at the fan connector when I power the system up with a power adapter that was checked to output 12.5V. So...I have a paper...

Hi All, I need some general info please. I recently purchase a Lorex NVR system for our church, model # LNK7108-N from Ebay new in box, It lasted about 6 weeks and I assume a thunderstorm rolled through and fried the unit. I contacted Lorex and they at first said it would not be warrantied as I...

Hello! I am researching IP camera systems to install for customers of my small IT business. I have a few clients that account for most of my work, and they would like to start installing camera systems. The first business would like a "test" project is at their newly opened small town pizza...
