I've used the SmartPSS app to connect to my Lorex 2K doorbell in hopes to remove that stupid Lorex logo off the screen - no can do (apparently on the
Amcrest this is possible via the API commands).
I've also changed some video settings via the SmartPSS app, but the doorbell picture became horrible, and I had to do a reset on the doorbell, it fixed everything back to normal - but a pain as you need to remove it (not a huge pain).
Having said that, I don't
believe that it will brick it, there are certain function that you won't be able to write to it, it will just throw an error (like the one below)
i.e. I tried to add an additional USER to the 2K doorbell, it won't work (
ironically, the 1080P Lorex doorbell that I just sent back - Amazon - allows one to add an additional user, so that you don't use the admin one with BI).
Noone has been able to get the same options as for the Amcrest on this doorbell, which is too bad in my opinion.
If it's under warranty, you could always replace it if bricked, no?
In any case, tell us how it goes!
