    I just installed an 11 camera Lorex system, expandable up to 16. You have done a much better job of explaining the features than the Lorex tech support. They could not explain Threshold in any way that made any sense. Well done. What I find is that blocking out the street, so that I do not pick up every car that passes by, does not work well at night. Despite totally blocking out the street, about 30% of the cars that drive by set it off. So, I had to manually tilt my cameras down so that they can't see the street at all and the false alarms stopped.

    I have found that even though you can block the street the headlights will mange to shine into your zones and still set them off. If you have done all you can with the controls making a physical adjustment will be best bet. I have mine setup with multiple zones so that way if a car hits zone 1 and I get a notification I typically would By look until something hits zone two and three which are fourth we from my road and closer to house. I have 2 cameras on front of house and doorbell if I get hits on all the zones I know for sure somebody is there

    Thanks for the video, good answers to the questions, I just bought a second system fusion system from Costco (on Sale this week:), but I did notice you had mentioned that you need to hook up the HDMI for initial setup, once you set the password you can hookup to the network and manage the system from the web page. I have a place that I just installed these cameras that is about 100 miles from my residence and I monitor this property via MIFI hotspot. I did have 4 cameras from my last system recording to a NAS and two rings spotlight cams, but had a lady try and get in the place (arrested) so I invested in a NVR and more cameras. The kit also came with two door sensors and motion detection. Turns out that when I go over my limit on bandwidth I can still monitor and get alerts over the slow 600kbs VPN link, though slow I still get the security aspect. The new cameras seem like they are rock solid for the cost per camera@4k, and the old cameras have held up well to the over 120F temps for the last two years in the California Desert. Each camera has a web server so I can adjust the IPS zones easier. Anyway Thanks again!

The number 10 question was really good because I had wrote to you about a drive by shooter who drove past my house and all I saw was a red blur. I will adjust the settings on one camera to see if 30fps at 5mp is better then 15fps at 8mp. Maybe next time I will get a better look at any suspicious car passing by at night. Thanks for the info! Glad I subscribed.

    @@mrwebber35 So much to say after one year. 1) Your doorbell camera is your most used camera, so get a good one with quick notification times (wired preferred) 2) Get a good monitor, 4K preferred. There were too many times I tried zooming in and could not get detail. I think the fault is my monitor. 3) Get a camera as close as possible to the street. Very important. The effective range is about 30 feet from the camera. After that you start to lose detail. All of the bad stuff that has happened in my neighborhood has been street related. I am actually looking for a variable zoom camera that I can aim closer to the street to pick up license plates. 4) Your cameras won't pick up much at night, especially if it is a car thief racing past your cameras. 5) Get floodlights to help your cameras get more detail at night. Lighting is everything. More light, more detail 6) Before you buy ask your self many questions like "What is the easiest way to run the cable?" "What areas do I want to protect?" "Which direction(s) would a thief come to my house?" "How can I capture a picture of the guy who is stealing my catalytic convertor?" Lastly, this is a permanent change to the appearance of the house, buy the most expensive system you can afford because you want it to last and not worry about it for years to come. Over time the cost per day is pennies. I am sure I am missing something, but I hope this helps! Paul

    Thanks! Covered many things I'd struggled with over the past month or so before I figured them out on my own. YOu explained those really well. One thing that I asked Lorex about is how to not showing unused channels. I have an 8 analog/4 IP Fusion DVR which replaced a 4 camera no-longer-supported-by-the-manufacturer analog (BNC) system. The Lorex DVR uses channels 1-4 for the analog cameras and I added 4 IP cameras, but they use channels 9-12. Unfortunately, on the main HDMI display, it shows the first 4 (BNC) channels, then 4 blank channels (5-9) and then the 4 IP channels (9-12). I'd like it to show only the 8 in-use channels and not the unused channels. Doable?

    Hi, When I export video footage it has so many files. How do I get the least amount of files on the USB drive? The reason is that I have cameras set up on my tennis courts and players purchase the footage of their match. I noticed that if I export using the DAV file I can combine the files. If I want to export using the MP4 fromat it will not combine. So I have to take this file and put it in another program to combine into one file. It would be great if I could export a 2 to 3 hour match and just give the info to the player without having to convert it in another program. (if I change the settings to a different resolution will I get less files?)

    When someone says to me 4K 8MP 15 fps is "good enough for me" that really doesn't show us what is "good enough". I would like to see night vision at that resolution someone walking around. I see the blurry cars drive by so I know a license plate is never going to be seen but then I know it would be rare to know that information. Maybe hold a licence plate or some sign up while you are walking around and then zoom in on the recording to see how good it is. 30 fps is a setting at probably 1080P or possibly 4K 5 MP. I would like to see the difference. The reason I'm wondering is a different KZread analysis of a NVR system showed 15 fps 4k 8 MP at night outside recorded blurry moving images of the guy walking around. Thank you.

    Subscribed! Hi Rick, I currently own Lorex 4k 6 bullets and additional 1 ptz with LNR6100 line nvr 2TB factory. Was in between either getting the new Fusion one with Alexa compatibility that also comes with 2TB or upgrading mine to 8TB, pretty much same $$$. But once I'd have the new nvr I'd probably expand it again but they only go to 6TB. Decided to go with the solution of getting 8TB and sticking with what I have. Based on your experience, did you ever update your nvr firmware, if yes how to do it. From what I understand they want me to download a firmware file to a flash drive, stick it in to my nvr and in settings finish the process, correct me if I'm wrong. My experience, Lorex products are great, customer service.. I had terrible experience with these people, but things might have changed ever since I last spoke with them. Also, now I kinda regret not getting that nvr, I have one open spot and there is no way for me to run any extra wires for additional camera, and with my ocd.. this empty spot bothers me a little. I could always fill it in with any wifi based camera. Good luck with your channel!

In terms of the dead spot i have two that bug me and I am going to go to fusion soon. You can replace the NVR only and keep cameras (they have on the website which camera are compatible with each NVR) so its a small change but will allow me to add some dead spots in. I will review of course.

    It really depends on your environment, sorry i know shitty answer....Trees, weather, busy roads etc can really impact even lower sensitivity settings. I set pretty specific zones and consider some more important than others. For example if you walk up to my front door and get near it i get a notification. Most weather/environmental things dont affect that zone so i know when i get a notification its probably a person there. VS my cameras overlooking the driveway. They are a bit more busy because of stuff going on. Funny thing is that I use a multi tier approach, if i get notified on one camera and not another I can sometimes disregard it because I know if its a person for example they would cross multiple cameras and zones...its about tweaking it to work for you.

If you set it up one time in the attic and you have it connected to your network you will probably not need to go up there very often you could just make most of the changes from the PC software.

BTW if you want good night vision in color, get a motion advanced light or leave a light on. I give the system 4 Starts being it doesn’t know the difference between People, Vehicles, Animals, Moving Shadows, Trees or Bushing moving in the wind

And when I try to click on a recorded event it displays "LIVE" instead of what was recorded. You're my last chance before I toss this system.

    If you have a zone set you can view events to help you go through footage quickly. If for example you didn’t have a zone set and you wanted to see who threw the garbage on your side walk you would have to scrub on phone. In that case I normally go to pc app and do a smart search where I can just make a virtual box on the sidewalk where the garbage is and nvr will scrub all footage and show me what has changed in that box.

I left a comment on your other Lorex video regarding the ghosting effect at night. Trying to see how to work around that at the minute. Holding off on a purchase. Also, sometimes I get sucked into being unnecessarily paranoid by reading reddit threads where everyone is bashing (in great depth) every security company, including Lorex... at which point I just feel hopeless after doing all that research! LOL! Reolink's night time ghosting on the 810A is so awful, and their cameras are not rated for Canadian weather, especially winter, not to mention their lack of thumbnail notifications and a boring user interface :(

    I wouldn't recommend Lorex to a rusted can! So, where do I start off at...? From start they seemed to do the job, do it well plus more. I went from getting alerts on all 4 cameras daily, to even pic's or video of some person, animal, truck or car that pulled up or passed by slowly. To, well.... Here we go! I can be sitting at my computer, watching the monitor during the day or night. I'll see someone mowing, cat, dog in my yard to even someone across the street doing whatever, do I get ALERTED? NOPE! Yet, they sure can SEE STUFF GOING ON JUST FINE. Does that even make sense? It sure doesn't to me. During the day, even night "Person detected" I look on my app of the video, a TRUCK OR CAR PASSES BY. Person detected, look again to find NOTHING OUTSIDE. Person detected, it's raining outside. Lmao, is that a "person?" App- I'll go into delete videos, it'll bind up. I have to close then try to delete again. This happens DAILY! The threshold and motion doesn't so SQUAT. Trust me, I've talked to a thousand Lorex "techs" that say do this, do that N O T H I N G HAS HELPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's times my Dog walks by the camera is SOUND ASLEEP. At night, my back camera is SMOKEY LOOKING. Here within the last 2 weeks, the camera on my garage ZOOMS IN WHEN A CAR/TRUCK PASSES BY. My others don't do this. Oh, yes MORE BEEPING ISSUES. If I leave my SUV outside, the garage camera goes APE SHEET and jumps around. There are times one will go all BLACK then back to color. I've had NO REAL HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If I could return the system I would, I got a Lorex For Business set and at night the cameras are full of noise & blurry; these are from their "nocturnal" systems. Lorex Support simply said to get lighting. No shit. Another huge reason if that if you would like to access your cameras via their internal IP (to access them on your browser because you'll eventually realize that you can get more camera specific settings that way but cannot get live view nor playback because it requires a "chrome app" which takes me to a chrome extension "easy viewer' by NACL Web Team. Which (1) if you read all the reviews alone; the app is shit (2) If you install it and just doesn't work. The Lorex DDNS is just the same thing as accessing it from the internal IP address. Except of course that you can/could see it from outside the LAN but neither in LAN or via DDNS, live view/playback does not work. Just don't get this system.
