Try a very low (?20 to 40) wattage bulb in the porch light. At night it will still be very helpful. I sometimes even used an adapter to "christmas" 7W lights.

Here is a video of the NR9082X interior. He says the power supply fan is the noisy one for him. If you feel comfortable doing such things, then dive right in. Check the size (?40 x 40 x 10 mm?) and voltage (?12V) . On Amazon look for one of the same size and voltage with ball bearings. If the...

It's great to see a suggestion from 2016 still helps people.

The heatsink is what this fan is imbedded in. The other fan is bolted to the base.

The Noctura fan ( https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Cooling-Bearing-NF-A4X10-FLX-5V/dp/B00NEMGCIA/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?tag=ipctk-20&ie=UTF8&qid=1544851980&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=notura+fan+40mm+5v )will work for both places. The smaller fan in the heat sink must be removed and the new fan screwed to the...

Actual DVR model is LHV1000. If this is what the stock fan looks like, they are loud and break often. If that is the number of the fan do NOT get one. remove that fan (3 very tiny phillips screws) and install the new fan as shown with 10 32 machine screws. Use this fan...

The Lorex 16 channel LHV101600 appears to be a 16 channel 720/ 1080p DVR with the same single fan in stock form as the 8 channel unit in the first post of this thread. IF that is correct, the replacement procedure would be the same as pictured in post #1. That fan was a 40mm X 40mm X 10mm at...

You will need to know the size, the thickness, and the voltage they are wired to. Even if an exact replacement isn't feasible, a working fan afixed near vented holes will help. If the unit is overheating it isn't doing any good there anyway, so sending it to you will not hurt. When most Lorex...

If the no HDD is true, do the following. You ?could get going for under $100 if only the HDD is bad. Pick a new purple Western Digital drive for your DVR/NVR at this link: wd purple hdd - Newegg.com Make sure the size you pick is supported by your unit - or get the same size. Here is a 2 TB...

Either fan (my suggestion, and the 5v Noctua) are better in all respects than the stock one. They push more air, are more reliable, and are quieter. Be sure to remove the existing fan and have the airflow down so the heatsink gets properly cooled. If you get another 12V fan, test it well to be...

I tried several fans of the original type and they were all noisy if they worked at all. The small fan is the source of the noise. Order the fan linked from amazon, shut off the machine, remove the (3 tiny screws under the blades) noisy fan, clean the dust away, and install new fan blowing...

Could the wires be backwards ? Here is a 5V fan that others have used. https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Cooling-Bearing-NF-A4X10-FLX-5V/dp/B00NEMGCIA/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00NEMGCIA&pd_rd_r=254XV1GJN1R97FX016SA&pd_rd_w=OK05Y&pd_rd_wg=RG69G&psc=1&refRID=254XV1GJN1R97FX016SA I...

Great news, that's exactly why I posted pictures. A $5 fix is hard to pass up and the Lorex 1080P system works quietly after the fan (fails often) is replaced. If you want to zoom any of the cameras 2X or 4X, see Costco 1080p over coax Lorex ?zoom posts 7 and 8 for fixes of $10 each. Jim

Do nothing with the yellow wire., connect it to nothing or tape it off. I'm not sure, but I believe it is for speed sensing. You can add a second fan to exhaust air to the other connector on the board if desired, but not necessary.
