They are set up in a simple config with 1 home location, auto tracking for anything that enters the home location.....so he asked if there...

    Just purchased this from your amazon account. It's to install for a lady that has been unimpressed with the I think - 4k 1/2.8 2.8mm cameras around her home. I told her we'd try this camera and if she liked it I'd replace her other 3, or I'd just find a place somewhere else to use it. She...

    I use Blue Iris to get my camera feeds from my NVR - a cheap Uniview knock off, i think. But after repairing a broken PTZ ( PDN49I425H-XR) that we replaced I didnt want it to connect to my cheap nvr.....wanted to try and make the Lorex into a Dahua. It's too rainy to cut my grass.

    It still has the preset and seems to be back working. It has been in service for some time but worth the 60 dollars......if it continues to work for awhile. And yes my basement is a mess.

    This ptz was painted by the customer so the waranty is void. They purchased a higher end replacement. I had 2nd thoughts after it went into the dumpster, pulled it out and brought it home.

    I could never replace the chip. It's surface mount so the pins do not pass thru to the other side. The wires are good from the rj45 to the white connector, so it may be worth trying to buy the 48v power board ...

    Is the manufacturer working with you to replace an electronic ckt board that has become inoperative? They seem to be doing more than some. Is the camera past the 18 mo warranty?
