    HDD Size Limit? Lorex NVR

    Success! I pulled out the 2TB drive that came with the NVR (a Western Digital 2TB Purple drive) and replaced it with a 16TB drive (a Toshiba MG08ACA16TE Enterprise SATA drive). The NVR booted just fine, and then it showed a popup saying that the drive was not formatted. I tried to format it...

    Drive arrived today. I'm going to install it probably tomorrow evening (although I might wait until the weekend). I'll report back.

    HDD Size Limit? Lorex NVR

    I would assume that my NVR does not have the eSATA option in the menus. The NVR is sealed into a location that isn't easily accessible, so I cannot verify via the on-device menu, but when connected via the Lorex client, there is no mention of eSATA under the Device -> Storage. Along with that...

    HDD Size Limit? Lorex NVR

    I have a Lorex LNK71082T NVR that came with a 2TB surveillance drive built in. I'm looking to bump up the HDD, and I have a line on a good deal for a 16TB Toshiba Enterprise SATA drive - perfect size for keeping the number of days of recording that I'd like. The problem I'm looking for help...

    NVR Replacement Advice?

    White screen on all browsers, no offer to run a plugin or anything, and this is Windows 10 so it's not like IE is running in Enhanced Security mode like on Windows Server. Page source is blank as well. There's obviously a web server listening as otherwise I'd be getting a numbered response like...

    NVR Replacement Advice?

    Yep, one of the cameras is powered by an active injector in my shed connected to an access point, putting the camera directly on the same subnet as my laptop. Nothing but a blank page when I go to it. I'll work some more at it and also try the Blue Iris demo. That'll give me an idea of how well...

    NVR Replacement Advice?

    I did the camera setup on the NVR. Lorex has specific documentation on how to log into their cameras directly, but I get nothing but a blank page when trying to go to the camera in a web browser following their instructions (tried Chrome, IE, and FF). I tried multiple ways, but I just cannot get...

    NVR Replacement Advice?

    Sounds like I'm leaning toward the Blue Iris route. I've got a laptop that I can use as the PC, PoE switches are so reasonable these days (and I'd like to manage the cameras' IPs via DHCP reservations on my network), and I can plop the hard drive into a USB dock. Tearing down the cameras and...

    NVR Replacement Advice?

    Hi All - I'm totally new here, but it sounds like you all would be the perfect people to ask this question. I'm looking for recommendations on a 16-channel NVR... Backstory: On Prime Day a couple months ago, I snagged an 8-camera 4K Lorex system for six hundred bucks. Not being super familiar...
