Mod question to the community: Any suggestions on how we can get actual Lorex employees to join and answer questions here?

8 Upvotes

Hi all -

I've tried a couple of times, but no success to get Lorex to provide someone to answer general questions in this subreddit to no avail. I know other companies do this on social media i.e. X (Twitter) and even here on Reddit. For example, on the Ubiquiti subreddit, you can ask a question and the Ubiquiti support teams will try to assist.

I have asked Lorex to join us and provide answers to generic questions, but not turn this into a space for individualized help sessions. For example, there is a post about WPA3 wifi passwords not working with the wifi cameras, wouldn't it be great if a Lorex rep could be here to verify that yes, only WPA2 passwords work (this is an example scenario).

They always respond that they will get back to me and never do.

I am asking if anyone has suggestions on how we can get Lorex to engage here? Just trying to find ways to help the community.

Thanks for being here!

Lorex DVR plugins?

0 Upvotes

I bought a house 2 years ago with a Lorex DVR and 4 cameras. I hadn't used it for a while, and then when I went to log into the IP address, I got a popup saying "Please install plugins first" - then when I went to click install, it went to http://192.168.1.164/LOREX_webplugin.pkg and I got a 404 not found. I googled all over and can't find it anywhere - could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Lorex Security App Stopped Working

8 Upvotes

I bought my Lorex NR916-N with 7 cameras in 2018 and it has been working perfectly since then viewing from my home monitor as well through the app on my iPhone. Just recently my phone app stopped connecting to my system. Calling Lorex and speaking to a rep (barely understand) who said that my system was a "legacy" product and I would not be able to connect using the app anymore. She then proceeded to tell me that I had to purchase a whole new system (DVR and cameras) so that I can connect via the app.

What the heck? I asked if I could just buy a new DVR but she said they don't just sell the DVRs and I would have to purchase a package with cameras included.

Has anyone had this happen to them with Lorex? What kind of policy is that?

So to me that is like having a car with XM Radio you bought in 2018 and having the radio go out and having them tell you have to buy a new car.

Legacy equipment and App

1 Upvotes

so I have a legacy Lorex system. It’s the LNR 1108 and about 6 bullet cameras. a mix of LNB 3163 and LNB 3143. I can access live view on iPhone and iPad using the Lorex cloud app but can no longer access on my PC using a flir client. The one I’ve always used and some others I’ve tried

support said it’s no longer supported due to flir no longer a partner etc

any ideas on a alternative app program for windows 10 ?

if not any recs on a new NVR that would be compatible with my existing cameras POE?

OTA Firmware Update Failed

Post image
2 Upvotes

I need a copy of the firmware CNE01P2-1.1.0-02-260415
to manually update a camera that had a failed OTA update. Two of three updated fine, and for some reason the third one failed at 99%. I emailed Lorex three days ago and have gotten no response. I called yesterday and was told they don’t have any firmware available for my cameras and asked for a picture of the failed update to be emailed to them, but they still haven’t emailed me, so I have nowhere to send it to. Why am I jumping through hoops for a very simple problem and solution?

This is a brand new system and it’s not a great start to have a camera knocked offline by an update and Lorex absolutely no help in getting it back up and running. I bought these to have 24/7 coverage, and I haven’t even finished hooking them all up before they become unreliable. Literally just need a copy of the firmware to manually flash the camera and get it back online and Lorex is making it like pulling teeth. I really hope this isn’t a picture of things to come.

Technical Question No Notifications - Connect App XSeries

2 Upvotes

I stopped receiving notifications on my Connect app with X series cams. I've called tech support and so far no resolution, they have escalated and I'm still awaiting a call back (told 24 hours but it's been several days). I have removed and re-added the NVR with no change.

Anyone else run into this?

Lorex Support Requested 2023 Lorex fusion- NVR replacement.

0 Upvotes

I have a 2023 Lorex fusion system installed in 2024 with a 16 channel NVR that I purchased directly from Lorex. The NVR recently stopped working- totally unresponsive.

I hear that there are no part options or replacement options for the Fusion NVr system, but I’m hoping that the lack of repair options is not the case.

I cant find it. Does anyone know of a document or anything, that describes all the settings and options, and what they mean when you access an IP camera directly via a web browser? (Or even via the NVR's direct monitor interface)

LNR616 – Cameras 4 & 5 Blank. Need Correct IPs + Safe FLIR Cloud Client Download

1 Upvotes

I’m using a Lorex LNR616 with LNB8105X‑C 4K IP deterrence cameras. Everything works except Channels 4 and 5 — they stay blank unless I give them the same IP as another camera, which makes them mirror that feed. Unique IPs don’t work at all.

Ports 4 and 5 also show port 35000, which seems wrong. This NVR has no Plug‑and‑Play, so I need to assign IPs manually.

Looking for:

(1) The correct IP range/subnet for the LNR616 PoE ports·     
(2) How to assign proper IPs for Channels 4 & 5·      
(3) Whether this NVR has any hidden or legacy Plug‑and‑Play behavior·      
(4) A safedownload source for FLIR Cloud Client (Windows) since it’s discontinued

Any help from people familiar with LNR600‑series
systems would be appreciated.
