    Lorex Smart Deterrence IP Camera siren API

    I have eight lorex cams setup and use them to detect deer trying to eat my garden. These cameras all have a siren built into them which is plenty loud. I’d like for when the camera sees a deer for it to turn on the siren. I’ve read through the dahua api manuals and can’t find anything related to...

    Adding Storage by installing new hard drives into NVR

    Hi, I have a situation where I need 90 days of storage for 25 cameras at 720p and 10 fps. My best idea right now is to use two 16 channel NVRs and open them up and install two 8 TB hard drives into each NVR. I already have the Lorex equipment so for better or worse I need to use Lorex. As far...

    Dahua HDW5832R-ZE, Amcrest MT2544EW, Lorex LBE8974

    Can anyone tell me the real difference between the Dahua HDW5831R-ZE and the Amcrest MT2544EW and the Lorex LNE8974? Other than IV features, is the Dahua better? Does the Dahua produce a better image? Why does the Lorex have so much more IR range? It is real range or are they padding the specs?

    Newbie Frustrated With Lorex
