This one has many more functions including off site viewing. It was very difficult to set up even with the instructions. The online chat wasn't helpful either. It took about 45 minutes of wait time to call support. Once I got through, they were very helpful and knowledgeable. I needed to call again to set up the off site capability.
I was told that these are really designed for professional installers. I wish customer service would answer the phone. On October 1, 2017 Location: Broken Arrow Ok.
This system worked great. Until I moved, I have misplaced my password for the DVR or log in and this frustrates the heck out of me. I have called tech support over 7 times and stayed on hold the last time for 35 minutes and said screw it.
I have up graded 3 times to bigger and better but without your password you are out of luck. Would really help if this page had a reset your system password on it. I think these are probably the best cameras out there but worst customer service around. My first purchase I was able to get help on the first ring now no one answers. My rating would be a 5 if someone would answer the phone.
Eugene on August 31, 2017 Location: Detroit Just purchased this open box unit.it did not work properly have to wait on a replacement now.not sure how long that will take tho. So maybe after I get a working DVR I can leave a more positive review! Hey Eugene, Sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with the system- or lack of. If you have any future questions, or would simply like a status update on your new system, feel free to contact us (Feedback) directly at Feedback@Lorextechnology.com. Third Eye on January 23, 2017 Location: Mesa, AZ Never worked, or recorded. They claim hard drive is bad.
Customer service was REALLY poor. I have had Lorex in the past, and never a problem with customer service. If you called them about this product, they would say I need your to speak with Flir. Asked for a replacement (will take a few weeks she said) this is obviously unacceptable, as we use these as a security measure. Will return, and have purchased a LOREX DVR Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. We have shipped your warranty replacement and hope everything is working well.
AAD on January 4, 2017 Location: Massachusetts, USA For a number of years I have been looking for a DVR to set it up in a remote location, which I can visit very rarely (a few times during the year) and have a capability to control this remote location using a CCTV camera(s) and internet access. I needed to trigger the cameras video recording, picture snapshot taking and e-mailed to me if the alarm event happens. I wanted the e-mail notification about the alarm event with the picture e-mailed to me when it happens.
By the alarm event I meant triggering NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed) sensors, not just a motion detection technology, which does not work for me in many cases. Also I wanted to have a capability to access the DVR through the internet when I get the e-mail notification and access and download the recorded video file(s). The LOREX/FLIR DVR gave me exactly these capabilities. This DVR is very easy to set up and operate. The only drawback is that for the e-mail server it can use only GMAIL e-mail server. So, I had to open an GMAIL account.
But it is not a big deal and it is free. Tug on September 16, 2016 Location: Colorado I purchased this DVR to go with my Lorex LW2231 wireless camera and the quality of the night vision was so terrible. Someone had thrown their trash in my small front yard and I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. I couldn't even make out the type of car they were driving but yet after reading all of the reviews there was only one other person that had the same problem I did. Is it possible the DVR I purchased and returned was defective? I live on a fixed income so I can't afford the more expensive DVR's, I would li,e to think you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to be able to identify the individual that's vandalizing your property. We're sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your system and we were happy to assist you further with this.
On July 11, 2016 Location: MD. Very Buggy and unreliable. We use to moniter a second home and it is down more then it works.
The remote viewing almost never works. Do not buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have talked to suport and they get the system working today and tomorrow it's unavailable online.
Multiple times. Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you were having difficulty with this. Our technical support team was happy to assist you further with this. We hope everything is working well now. I wish customer service would answer the phone. On May 23, 2016 Location: Bixby Ok This is such a dump run company that I called tech support because one of my cameras were not working and told him it was wired in to the ceiling and he said just pull the cord out so I did and now the freaking wire broke.
Called customer support and these people refused to warranty it because I pulled the wire out. This is a piece of crap business do not buy there products. We apologize for any difficulty you have experienced and we have offered our assistance via email. Please reply to us at your convenience. Brent on May 15, 2016 Location: Oregon I bought this as a replacement unit for a Swann 4 channel. The Swann worked fine, but I could never get the remote capabilities (view from Mac browser, phone) to work.
So I spent a lot of time climbing up to where the unit was installed trying to view recordings using the very primitive UI with the mouse and remote-a real pain. This new unit from Lorex has almost all the same features, but the interface is much improved and connection via my local network to the Mac and my phone was very easy. 7490brent on May 12, 2016 Location: Brentwood New York I,always think in buy a security device for my home I,though the best was lorex but what frustration when I,try to connect followed the instructions take to nowhere try one way or the other.to myself i,am not going to let anybody to fail into this.you look in you tube they make ease the installation but when you try is a nightmare so don't buy ' Lorex'.
We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with the installation. Our technical support team would be happy to assist you. Please email us back or call us at your convenience 1-877-755-6739. DVR user on August 20, 2015 Location: Boston, MA I bought a LH03045G stand-alone DVR (4 channel) on sale for $99 - good price comparatively.
Calle Tech support about the Remote - thought it was not working but staffer asked me to press the zero button 3 times (not sue if THAT is in the instrux) but it needs a press and hold till you hear a beep.and it works fine. Lady was patient, helpful. 4 stars because I have not yet set up the Cam - and don't know how that will work out - but so far, so good. Fast shipping, arrived in good condition and everything works! Tim on July 16, 2015 Location: Chicago, IL We had a previous 8 channel DVR installed that was a horrible experience.
This new Lorex product was the best thing ever. Plug and play.
The internet setup was trivial, as was setting up email alerting. The motion detection alerting feature is amazing, very helpful. Picture quality is much improved.
The viewing application (android, iphone, pc and mac versions!) are all way better than I had anticipated. If you have an antiquated 4 channel analog BNC DVR, upgrade to this thing. Scott on May 25, 2015 Location: Maupin Oregon I purchased the DVR and Camera system after researching other products.
My IT director recommended Lorex. I was extremely pleased with the price of the system, however the clarity of the picture is much less then I was hoping for. I have another brand of wireless camera and the detail and resolution is amazing. I am attributing the quality to the price I paid. I was very pleased with the external look and quality of both the DVR and the cameras, I am sure they will last.
I also had to call Lorex support numerous times to get the remote viewing aspect up and running. I was treated very well it was obvious they wanted to help solve any problem I may be experiencing. I will purchase a more expensive camera for this system in hopes the picture quality is better. FGS Frank on May 1, 2015 Location: FGS FRANK This unit replaced an everfocus dvr and the customer was very happy with the product. The ease of operation was so much better than the thumbwheel technology on the everfocus. The size of the unit and even though we kept the same cameras the picture resolution was so much better, its as if I installed new cameras.
The network setup was so much more reliable. With the Lorex dns server we don't have to worry about always losing connection as she did with the Everfocus product. Also The Lorex tech support response times have even gotten better since the Flir merger.Thanks again.
Rfl on April 15, 2015 Location: crystal river, fl starting to replacing my Wireless home security camera system Model No.: LW491 with ithis recorder and Security surveillance cameras weatherproof with 75ft night vision CVC7572PK4B recorder came in on tuesday and cameras should be here on wednesday. The recorder was said to be an open box but did look great no marks seem to have all parts. It was no real problem setting the recorder did get my PC and Dell tablet and my Samsung phone to connect just had to follow the institutions using the Lorex DDNS connection and also my internet is by satellite so it made the connection will have to wait to see video coming. Will have to update later will mostly start the replacement in a week or two.
Upgrader on November 19, 2014 Location: Cleveland, OH I used this unit to replace a Q-See DVR. It was true plug and play-took only a few minutes including software installation. The Q-See never had usable remote access software while the Lorex software is incredibly good on both an Android phone and desktop PC. It's very easy to set up motion recording and motion recording works flawlessly across multiple camera brands. The price of the unit is very affordable but I bought it for the features and reviews, not the price. Buy it and don't look back!
Glen on July 1, 2014 Location: Los Angeles, CA DVR, motion detection very easy to set up. For the most part I set up functions etc. Without even opening instruction manual. Remote viewing is great-peace of mind in a box. The footprint, weight and overall appearance of the DVR fits right in with the TV/monitor that it's interfaced with and most people don't even notice it.
Installation of cameras etc was relatively easy (I did myself) however I do understand not everyone is a DIY, but it was pretty straight forward. I highly recommend this product for pricing, ease of setup, operation, functionality and appearance. Rick on June 21, 2014 Location: New Jersey I ordered this model looking for an upgrade to me existing Lorex edge that was 4 years old. There was nothing wrong with my old unit.
I just wanted better features and maybe a backup and more ports. I was surprised when the blackblox 2 showed up. It's an outstanding unit that supports 960H. I had camera that supports that format so it was an instant upgrade on the quality of the picture as well.
The BB2 run great, no problems, great picture, great software, good remote, TIP: for me, the remote viewing works better P2P then Relay. So go through the DDNS configuration and access it that way. You'll have to port forward port 80 on your router (and don't use 80 use something else). Ed Kaminsky on January 17, 2014 Location: Rehoboth Beach, Delaware I bought a 4 camera system 2 years ago.
One camera failed withing a few months. I got another through my warranty. The new camera has a much better picture than the other 3. Recently the DVR failed & I contacted Lorex about repairing it. I was told that the repair would cost $200 plus parts. I asked about the price of a new DVR and was told I could buy a new one for $140. How stupid is it that they would charge $200 plus to repair my old DVR when I could buy a new one for only $140 with a new 1 year warranty?
This system is cheap and you get what you pay for. I could not get a local CCTV repair guy to even come out to look at my system. He said it is too cheap to fix. If you can find another manufacturer, buy it from them even if you have to pay a bit more. Kenbt on December 11, 2013 Location: Thousand Oaks, CA I upgraded to this model from a previous LH400 Model that I had for over 4 years. My camera system was already installed from the previous installation so all I had to do was install the DVR.
The installation directions were straight forward and easy to understand. I only had to have technical help from Lorex on my port forwarding because of my internet provider complexity of their router. Lorex technical help has always been very helpful with issues and within 5 minutes it was ready to go. The difference in software usage from one unit to the other is a little different but once you start using it, it is quite simple.
I believe my cameras picture quality is better than before and that my be because of the way this unit processes the picture. Curly on December 6, 2013 Location: Texas DVR was very easy to set up to record. Learning all the features was not quiet so easy. Reading the manual is a must to use all the features. The firmware needs to be updated to handle the latest web browser so you can connect over the local network without doing some tricks. On IE 11 you have to use comparability mode, and on Chrome and Firefox I had to download and use IE Tab. I learned this by reading some of the FAQ's on another model and tried it and it worked.
The mouse is not the best but it works. The VGA connector flexes when you move the cable and may be a weak point. Overall it is a very good product with a few minor flaws but it does the job.
Jack on October 2, 2013 Location: Kentucky I have a computer systems technical support background and found this easy to setup. Cool product!
The only glich I had was that there is a separate ID for the remote access from my iPhone, so I spent time figuring that part out. I had to dig into the Lorex web site to find the documentation that made the light come on for me. I would like to see an iPad app instead of using the smaller iPhone app on the iPad. I would definitely recommend others to use this product. WELL WORTH THE MONEY! Yen on September 17, 2013 Location: Oakland, CA This DVR was a replacement for my 8 channel DVR that stopped working recently. It has the same set up and it's very easy to switch DVRs without a hassle.
The DVR itself is very simple to install and use. I think its actually better than the 8 channel one I had before because it has a usb plug for the mouse on the front of the machine and it also offers two opinions for connection to the monitor: VGA or HDMI.
I just hope that this DVR will last a long time. Its working great so far. Moocat on June 16, 2013 Location: Redlands This is my second DVR. First one didn't have iphone capability. Current DVR works lot better.
First one had to be reconfigured repeatly due to constantly changing internet address. I had to call tech support and spend 30 minutes each time. After 1 year, tech support ran out, so I couldn't use it anymore, so it was left unused for several years.
I bought current DVR for the iphone and so far has worked great. I hired techie to set this up, but I still had to call Lorex to help connect iphone. Seems the set up is very complicated, so even the techie couldn't figure it out.
Techie set the internet address to 'static', so hopefully the DVR doesn't need to be constantly reconfigured. Hope Lorex will figure out how to deal with constantly changing internet address and make set up more easier. The first DVR, I hired installation techs recommended by Lorex. They were able to set up local viewing but couldn't figure out internet viewing either. The current techie I hired thru Radio Shack set up internet viewing but couldn't figure out iphone viewing.
Like I mentioned, Lorex needs to figure out how to do set up easier. Currently, everything works great.
Verizon Dvr Remote Access
I just pray that it stops working like last time because of changing internet address. 2kayaks on June 12, 2013 Location: SK, Canada Overall - I like it. Pros: Easy to setup with intuitive menus for the most part, lots of good YouTube how-to's and helpful tech support from Lorex. The 'behind router' and ddns video streaming works great too, but did require a tech from Lorex to take over my machine to complete these tasks. Its relatively small and light weight. Cons: So what's not to like? After powering down the DVR, moving it, and powering it back up the time was way off.
So I've reset it again (it seems to run fast now) and I'll have to see if that's a chronic issue when there's a power outage. I have a surge protector but not a UPS connected. The BNC connectors seem a little flimsy with the RCA convertor hanging off the end of that, any movement makes the video signal cut in and out, so I won't be touching that much, but I shouldn't have to now that its in place. I'm only running one camera so I guess I have three spare connections. None of these are show stoppers. Unknowns: This DVR will now be on indefinitely, so it will be interesting to see what the mean time between failures is.
G.Reed on May 26, 2013 Location: Ontario Canada Now that I have finally set everything up and tested it for a few days I must say, that overall I am not impressed with the system. It does the bare minimum and you will be hard pressed to capture decent pics of any would be crook on here let alone a decent face shot of yourself passing through the monitored area. I have 2 wirless cameras, and the 4 camera dvr. The image quality is poor and the frame rate is not good at all. Captured image is choppy at best, and my signal is poor despite setting the camera's up within 30 ft of the receivers. (Yes the signal passes through 2 walls for 1 camera and 1 wall for the other camera.) I finally have it so it will sit at about 3 bars strength, but occasionally it still cuts out and says'Connecting' for a second or two and loses the recording.
(I actually had to have 1 camera moved in to the front of the garage instead of the back (16 foot difference) as i get no signal at the back of the garage. When I could not get an initial picture on the cameras (That needed to be synced and moved within range), the tech expert could not answer my questions and repeatedly told me he was only 'Tech support' and didn't know the answers to my questions. (like why wasn't anything about range extenders necessary mentioned etc) The DVR settings are pretty easy to use and self explanatory, but coupled with the poor image quality, this will be of little use (I believe) unless the tresspassers stop and stare up into the camera for a few seconds.It also wouldn't hurt if they were to write their name on a piece of carboard and hold it up there too, but even then i'm not sure we'd get a good enough image to read it.
This system is not worth the money. Buy something higher end and save your money. I do not blame Lorex, this was my own fault for not doing the proper research. Learn from my lessons here people. You get what you pay for.
