I have 4 Lorex cameras hooked up to my unifi 24 port PoE switch and the feeds will come through but won't allow me to move the cameras. Sometimes I can zoom but that it all. I need help with this.

I just purchased BI so I have the most recent version. LNE9292BW-4PK Is the line of cameras I have.
If you log directly into the cameras, does the PTZ work?
If so, you will need to find out what protocol they use. In settings, under the PTZ tab, see if you can check network, and select ONVIF.
This is the most used interface. If that does not work, you will have to start trying settings to find out what they use.

The reason you can't move them is because the LNE9292BW-4PK is not a ptz model..

They will do poor at night. Don't chase megapixels.
Study the cliff notes and the Wiki.
They are Dahua rebrands with features usually removed. The Dahua 5442 series will out perform them at night. Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)
These cameras are not on the ideal MP/sensor ratio...
It is simple LOL do not chase MP - do not buy a 4MP camera that is anything smaller than a 1/1.8" sensor. Do not buy a 2MP camera that is anything smaller than a 1/2.8" sensor. Do not buy a 4K (8MP) camera on anything smaller than a 1/1.2" sensor. Unfortunately, most 4k cams are on the same sensor as a 2MP and thus the 2MP will kick its butt all night long as the 4k will need 4 times the light than the 2MP... 4k will do very poor at night unless you have stadium quality lighting (well a lot of lighting LOL). Starlight, ColorVu, Full Color, etc. are simply marketing terms, so don't be sold on those names.
My neighbor was bragging to me how he only needed his four 4k cams (Lorex on the 1/2.8" sensor like yours) to see his entire property and the street and his whole backyard. His car was sitting in the driveway practically touching the garage door and his video quality was useless to ID the perp not even 10 feet away. Meanwhile my 2MP varifocal optically zoomed in to the public sidewalk provided the money shot to the police to get my neighbors all their stuff back. Nobody else had video that could provide anything useful, other than what time this motion blur ghost was at their car.
