on another note, i plan to keep hounding the pants lorex support until they have had enough of me...their quickness to close a ticket resembles the offshore IT helpdesk i have at work...they close the ticket before they even reach out to you!

yeah... with 2 kids and a baby, the likelihood of me being able research this is not happening....lucky if i get 5 mins to myself on the throne without a little one knocking and asking what im doing!

has anyone been successful in updating the firmware for the LNB8005C? Lorex support is horrible, they never reply with a good answer and always close the ticket. The firmware that came with them are on 2.460.

bump...i have a few of these up and running and looking for someone who help with settings. theres so many its overwhelming.

How easy is to add an sd card to this camera? Have to format it before use?

same here, NVR LNR6100 stated update firmware but there is no info on what they updated. Cant see anything new in the menus either... Also, i have contacted them numerous times for the camera firmware for LNB8005 series and they state there is no firmware update for them...which i find hard to...

Obviously you change the ip settings to your NVR ip address.

This is what's in tinycam. The first one shows the camera type the second image is from advanced settings where u change the camera numbers. To note, don't like connecting to internet for the NVR. Instead I can view thru internal network or via VPN with open VPN on android and Asus router.

You have to use the actual NVR ip address not the camera ip, then on tiny cam change the channel to 1,2, etc. I can post the settings later which work for far...

Great advice on here. I was considering having to buy all new pre terminated cables... Then I found info on you tube after a full day on different videos. The cable checker tool is cheap and a must have. Main concern was getting all them cables into that plug in order.... I didn't see the pack...

Monoprice has good cat6 cable, tho it's a pita. The key is cutting that separator low and then using that wire guide, cutting the wire at 45 degrees angle to side in... Then crimp away...

do you mix the areas and cams? for example, the front and back of the house do you have a mixture of dahua and lorex cams or all one brand? I was going to have both starlights at the front of the house, as thats where most of my traffic is and leave the lorex for sides and back...

If anyone has purchased cat cables and planned on terminating themselves, especially with cat6 solid strand, check out these vids below. I couldn't figure out until this guy explained the wire guide correctly;

Also got that Costco kit... Wondering if to try starlight 5321r and lnb8005 or both starlight.... Gonna do test mount first so I can swap out if needed.

They work great. You have to direct connect to the cams, see this post Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

You looking within the NVR or lorex software on pc or browser? Try the different options and see if it's the NVR.

thats why i chose the Z model, because its whiter and matches better with my surrounding area, blends in more.

Yeah, it's already a good price and great service. To buy these locally look to pay over x2 or more. Also we get a little ipcamtalk discount on here.

my 2x IPC-HDW5231R-Z starlights were delivered within 4 days from placing order to NY, USA. Excellent speed and so far so good. I will provide a more in depth review once i have tested the cameras out for a little while.

where would you put the above linux code on the cam itself? you have to edit a file or setup a cron?

cheers guys. some good advice as usual.

hahaha, the best one is the boot or ahem... 'trunk'. lol.

never even heard of a soffit until this forum...im originally from Manchester, UK and moved over to NY. Theres a big difference with alot of things, mainly naming terminology .lol.

excellent, thanks. i dont really know much about houses until i google for a fix (toilet, sink, shower, washer) etc. Im new to this DIY scene but learning alot from forums and youtube.

so i have some pics below. I think on the left side of the house, i can either line it up straight on (location A1) or at an angle (location A2). The reason is that my driveway is facing the window, so i want to ensure i capture that but that i dont capture too much of the flag to the right...

Yeah, I tried to fit the boot in yesterday as a test, and couldn't fit the weatherproof cap over it, so will probably use the silicone tape instead on the inside and outside. Thanks.

Perfect. I'm gonna put a temp 2x4 with a bucket just under where I plan on putting it, and then test it. I have made a long cat6 cable too so I can run it to my NVR or laptop and then adjust as needed. This guy on YouTube seems to have a nice fix Thanks guys, really good advice. Let me post...

To add; do you also use a boot on the male rj45 connector or leave it off?

Do you put alot of dielectric grease inside the female rj45 connector? I hear it's good for protecting from corrosion but want to make sure not to put too much it effects the connection. Also, before you add the waterproof caps, do you use a little silicone tape, then add the caps, then more...

Im actually putting the same camera and junction box on a soffit as well...is it best to place the cam at the back or front? i thought back so it wouldnt get the IR bounce back... also are you using a piece of wood above the soffit for the screws to hold in? If so what size? thanks
