The Lorex Product is more user/ consumer friendly as far as Mobile Apps go.
It's more locked down and harder to add non-Lorex devices to.
The Empiretech App usually uses DMSS Mobile app.
Which is more open to adding ONVIF(non-Dahua) devices to.
Empiretech camera selection has more versatility.
The Lorex products ( some of them) can be limited in choices determined by them.
They want you ALL IN on the Lorex eco-system, as do most other Camera system packages.
I personally use the Amcrest ViewPro( DMSS in a skin suit-more USA-centric) for my Empiretech stuff, but I don't know it if works with the Empiretech NVR.
other people will have some input I'm sure.
But I eventually took the leap and went to
Blue Iris on my PC.
