    IPC-Color4K-T Light

    Hi, I have an IPC-Color4K-T camera, and I'm wondering if it's possible to configure the camera light to turn on only when motion or an object is detected, instead of staying on all the time. Does anyone know if this can be adjusted in the settings? ~Spectr4l ;)

    Lorex Fusion Dahua Compatability

    Hello all, I am trying to figure out if the Lorex N864A64B NVR is made by Dahua and if the Dahua/Empiretech cameras are compatible with it. I cannot find info on this specific NVR but it does look like the Dahua cameras work with other Lorex fusion NVRs
