    Lorex camera gets warm, GW doesn't

    Hi. I had temporarily installed Lorex E896AB indoors. It got pretty warm due to usage. I took it down and installed a GW Security GW8539DFIP at the same spot using the same ethernet cable . GW does not get warm (it's connected). Any idea why is there such a big difference? Is there anything...

    patch panel for NVR

    The PDF is for the 24-port panel. Do you know if the 12-port panel will have the clamps in the back? There is only 1 front picture of the 12-port. They haven’t shown the back side of it. Do you know another 12-port panel that is otherwise the same as Platinum Tools?

    patch panel for NVR

    I am getting a rack mount patch panel for my NVR but there are so many options out there. I need one that will take CAT6 shielded cable. My cabinet is standard 19" wide. One thing I am not sure about is how the CAT6/network cable coming from Cameras will connect to the patch panel. I don't know...

    cable management

    Correct me if I am wrong. The patch panel will be at front of the enclosure but the NVR PoE ports are in the back of the NVR that will stay in the back of the enclosure. Will I use a foot or 2 feet jumpers to connect patch panel to the NVR? Is a fan in the enclosure necessary?

    cable management

    Yes, my cabinet is smaller than the one I attached here. What makes it difficult to work with is that PoE ports are in the back of NVR. Thus all the cables get coiled in the back of the enclosure. Will the patch panel be installed in the front or back of the enclosure?

    cable management

    I use Cat6 Riser shielded blue cable for my cameras. The cable is stiff, and I got 8 of those coming into a cabinet (or say enclosure) where the NVR is. After all the cables are in the PoE ports, it requires force to push the NVR back to be able to shut the enclosure door. Somebody said that I...

    Lorex NVR with GW Security Camera

    Here is the update. I started Lorex NVR with a Lorex Camera, then plugged in GW Security camera GW6050MMIC. It works perfectly fine with Lorex NVR. It captures and records both audio and video and detects human. I have yet to explore rest of the system. But I am happy that there is...

    Meanwhile in Europe...

    What's happening in Paris now is not because of Muslims. It's another George Floyd incident that happened in Paris. The Hindu guy on twitter is pulling the matter in a different direction. As a known fact, Hindus of India have oppressed other religions there for decades. That's why Sikhs want...

    Traffic camera on ebay

    Hi All. I have been eyeing the following camera on ebay. It's sold for 49.99 + shipping. Does anybody know how to make the camera work if I end up buying it? Will a DVR be required? The new thing to me is it requires fiber optic cable. I understand it's for cities, not homes. But I guess I am...

    Tony, Thanks for your feedback. I will try logging in to the NVR and camera over the weekend. I have not forgotten that. It's just that my weekdays are busy. I will let you know how it goes.

    Thank you for the clarification. I construed their answer in a different way. I guess I am too tired. It's been a long week. :)

    Lorex NVR with GW Security Camera

    If you view the product page on Lorex website, I posted a question there. Below is the answer from Lorex. They are saying that 3rd party cameras are not supported. Not sure what ONVIF means then. Lorex Fusion 4K 16-Channel 3TB Wired/Wireless Network Video Recorder Yes, lorex NVRs are onvif...

    Lorex NVR with GW Security Camera

    Lorex claims that their N864A64B NVR is ONVIF compliant. GW claims that their GW6050MMIC camera is ONVIF compliant. Both vendors have answered my specific questions. When I connect GW6050MMIC to N864A64B, they won't work. I left them connected for about 30 minutes. The Lorex NVR does not detect...

    New here from Pennsylvania

    Hi all. Just wanted to introduce myself. I have a Lorex system with six LNB8963, two E892AB cameras and N882A6 NVR. It was hit by lightning. The NVR and two of the cameras got fried. This time I want to buy a GW Security NVR to work with Lorex cameras. I will need some advice there.
