I purchased a two pack of these LaView dome up cameras LV-PD5V108-VF. I have it displaying on my laptop but can’t get my Lorex NVR (LNB9232S)to display it. I have no idea what I’m doing and hope someone here can help me out.

LaView is Hikvision OEM, while Lorex is made by Dahua, so they are not natively compatible.

it can probably be made to work tho. I'd start with the cam(s) on your LAN (not the NVR's PoE side, if it has PoE) and make sure they have ONFIV compatiblilty enabled.
Then add the cams to your NVR as ONVIF devices.

Welcome @68sting

Pozzello describes it well.
1) Set cameras to ONVIF
2) Set NVR on that channel the camera is on - also to ONVIF
3) Remember to sync setting for user / password, port, IP, etc...

I have the NVR set to ONVIF, the correct IP address and port. I changed the password in the camera software so I’m using that password. I don’t see a place in the camera software to set ONVIF.

Thanks for the help guys. mat200 it was your thread on BF deals from SD that led me to buy the Lorex set up and I love it. In a separate thread you seemed to like these domes for the money and I went with them also. Thanks!

Nope. What I’ve learned is stick with the same manufacture/OS if you want to keep it simple. If the thought of spending a bunch of time trying to get thinks to work that may never work together is acceptable then by all means mix and match away.

So much for onvif huh? No, the thought of wasting a bunch of time with no return is not appealing to me. I do appreciate the honest reply.
