older lorex costco camera (hikvision) work with LTS nvr?

[Jerrynaut]

Hello there, i purchased a lorex costco kit about 4 years ago, when they use to be oem'ed hikvisions. It was the LNR200 series nvr and cameras but now i'd like to upgrade to 2.1mp or higher cams from MILKISBAD. I'm wondering if i can salvage any of the lorex bullet cameras and use them with any LTS NVR's. From what i understand they might not be ONVIF compliant but i figured since theyre hikvision rebrands they might still function properly with LTS nvrs. thanks.

They will probably work, however, you can return the entire system to costco and get a full refund.....

You dont have to return the etherent cable....
Even if you did it would be easier to simply buy a few 75f runs, why pull out good cable.

Did you have to have the receipt to make the return?

They have your purchases stored in their database, you never need the receipt.

Their website says a 90 day return policy on electronics, specifically including cameras. http://www.costco.com/member-privileges-conditions.html

Those are photo cameras that is why its next to camcorders...not surveillance cameras...I have confirmation from many costco members who had no issue returning the nvr/cams...

Just curious. What justification are people using for returning a system after 4 years that is convincing Costco to give a refund?

Seems like they would get killed with returns if many people did this when they start to upgrade their old systems.

You dont need any justification..they will accept return of any item anytime for any reason or no reason. 99 percent of the folks dont return it...they had issues with computers and tv's etc so they only allow 90 days on certain items...if it was an issue for them they would simply place a 90 day limit on all items...they provide this return policy as a benefit for membership...
