Lorex client 13 support docs9/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Well, I had to turn off the power to my house for a few hours to do an unrelated wiring project, and when I turned the power back on, the Lorex system had lost roughly 90% of my configuration! All my motion detection zones, all but one of my camera configs, all my recording schedules - GONE. The Lorex NVR, on the other hand, is THIS CLOSE to getting thrown out the window! The app is clunky, I can't do a lot of the configuration remotely (not good as I wanted to seal this system in a semi-permanent location), and it has just become a hassle! The worst, though: I spent days configuring the motion detection zones for my cameras, labeling them, setting up recording schedules, etc. The cameras seem excellent with very good night vision, and despite not listing it on the Lorex website, the cameras seem to be ONVIF-compliant (I can connect directly to a camera using an ONVIF-viewing app). I went through the back-breaking labor of doing the Cat5 runs through my attic, trenched in a Cat7 cable so I could grab a good view of my property from the corner (PoE injector & access point in the shed), and I thought I had a decent system set up. Not being super familiar with the brands but (perhaps wrongly) wanting to avoid fly-by-night brands, I thought a Lorex system would meet my needs - it was 8-channel, and although I wanted a 16-channel system even though 8 would meet my needs, but beggars can't be choosers I guess. On Prime Day a couple months ago, I snagged an 8-camera 4K Lorex system for six hundred bucks. I'm looking for recommendations on a 16-channel NVR. Hi All - I'm totally new here, but it sounds like you all would be the perfect people to ask this question. ![]()
