I am having a similar issue, but not because of the version. I am still using 5.7.1.3. I was trying to convert an MKV file to MP4 and the computer locked up. Once I rebooted, my alerts stop posting. Motion is triggering as before and all cameras are recording, but nothing to the alerts list...

I had the Lorex system with 6 cameras. Same experience about 2 years ago. Turned out the internal network adapter in the NVR died. Lorex said I could purchase a new NVR. I took the opportunity to go with Blue Iris. Much happier. Hope yours is something else, but Blue Iris is so much better.

When my Lorex NVR died (Ethernet port died), I switched to BI. One silver lining was in side the Lorex NVR was a WD 2TB drive. I used this in my BI machine build.

Agreed. In my situation, I repurposed one of my 6 Lorex cameras in the picture above. I am upgrading, my cameras, this will be one. I think the lorex is a 4mm. I don't want the wall, soffit or Ahole neighbors house in the frame. Any specific recommendation on a suitable camera? Just bought...

That is what I did. I left the IR on at the camera, but get the effect I wanted.

Great thread. I relatively new to to all this. But, as I learned in this thread--I could put to use an old Fire 7 as an monitor. Works great. Thanks all for the great information.

I can't disagree. As a newbie, just playing around with coverage and going cheap. Continuing to learn before higher investment in better cameras.

I am a newbie, I had a lorex camera in the garage. It was kind of a waste having an outdoor camera inside. So, I bought a 2 pack of Reolink E1 Pro cameras and swapped out the Lorex for one of the Reolinks. Very happy with the swap. The 2 pack was about $85, look like the price jumped abit...

Is there a way to print out each cameras settings with the goal of comparing settings? I only have a few cameras, but I don't think I was consistent as I installed each one.

I have been using BI for a while and just found out about ZeroTier. Set it up a few days ago. WiFi working fine, but I couldn't get my android phone working away from the house. Walked through settings multiple times, no joy. Then started walking through step by step and discovered I entered...

Thank a bunch for your help. I will start making adjustments per your instructions. Will be nice to get the blur down.

Yes, new to this. I am on the default settings. I can get to the camera settings. I see brightness and contrast, but not shutter specifically. I am trying to get back to the Jan 19 and Feb 1st 5am exposure. The Feb 1st 6pm causes the IR lights to be visible from the street and I am trying...

Thanks, I understand. I used a bad example for the AM pic. Due to the light across the street it is normally in color due to the street light. See this example. In color without the IR going crazy. Wet pavement isn't the cause, I don't think.

Any thoughts are appreciated. See PICS below. Why is my IR on full at 6pm, when the Smart IR setting set the IR at a more moderate level at 5am same day. Nothing was adjusted in BI or in the camera settings.
