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 advice?
Thanks

Hi Stripwich,

The Amcrest 8PM IP8M-2496EB is a Dahua OEM camera.

Depending on the Lorex kit you picked up - it may also be a Dahua OEM product.

In case it is then you do not need to use ONVIF, you just need to sync the NVRs channel you are using for the camera w/the proper IP address, port, user/password information.

See the following discussion on adding a Dahua OEM international model to a Lorex kit - the method should be similar with the Amcrest camera
Replace my Lorex 4K (lnb8005) with a starlight (IPC-HDW5231R-ZE)
