    Optimizing camera settings: Lorex e891ab substream?

    I'm setting up Blue Iris and I have 20 cameras connected now. I am going through the Wikis on here and have reached the optimization section with substreams. I have some Lorex e891ab cameras connected to BI but I can't find anything to identify the correct paths for the substream. I must be...

    SSD for new recordings?

    I am setting up my BI server and I have the basics sorted for equipment. The only question I keep reading conflicting info on is the type of storage for "New" recordings. Some people on some sites recommend using SSD for new recordings. Others say to just use a surveillance drive. Is anyone...

    Decent camera similar to Wyze's form factor?

    I have 3 PTZ Amcrest cameras that I am mostly happy with except they are not good at looking down unless they are installed upside down. I am trying to install cameras in less visible places: eg, TV stands, bookshelves, top of kitchen cabinets. I'm just not keen on the idea of installing these...

    Lorex Home App update - Good news!

    Hi guys, I'm not sure where the right place is to put this but I'll start here. I have purchased several Lorex camera kits from Costco and they have been ok. Not as good as would like, but they have been fine enough to try with Costco backing them. The latest set I purchased from Costco was in...

    Neighborhood camera privacy concerns and common courtesy

    Hi all, On my neighborhood Facebook group, someone made the following post asking neighbors to change their camera view from capturing their 2nd story. This is not my camera nor am I in any of the captured houses. I've shared footage from my cameras a few times when we had criminal activity in...

I currently have 6 of the cameras setup outside and will soon be running more ethernet to install a few more outdoor cameras. I...

    New Lorex system at Costco - What do you guys think?

    I was just in my local Costco and saw they have a new Lorex system they are selling. I picked up a kit to possible replace the Lorex system I got from Costco a year or 2 ago. The system isn't listed on the US Costco website but is on the Canadian one. It was $799.99 plus tax in store...

    We had a thief.. And now I want a better system

    This happened in the early morning on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the video is too grainy to make an ID. Now I am looking to add/replace the cameras/system with more and better components. I am a newbie and this is the first system I've had.

    New member thanks to Mat200

    Hi all, I found out about this forum thanks to Mat200 in some incredibly helpful posts he made on the Slickdeals forums. I've been perusing this forum and reading. We built a house and I had 6 security camera pre-wires completed. I didn't specify the locations and relied on the recommendations...
