  • like most wired security cameras they run on 12 volts to feed the cameras and then they send a signal with video back to the DVR..but what happens when they seem to all go blank in one time...Take a Look to see what you can look for in troubleshooting the system

    Thank you for this, just moved into a new house and one of the cameras has randomly gone out as we are renovating. Trying to figure it out myself and we assume that there’s no longer any power to the camera even though all of the other ones work

    One of my lorex camera outlet (#7) is not recording . All other 1-8 are working. When I switch #7 camera to #8 it works and records. To be clear no continuous or motion recording is being done whereas I can see the video on the monitor (but it is not being recorded).

    I bought a system from a store a few years ago and it worked, then one day the recorder stopped working completely. I don't know what to make of it. LNR6108x-n is the recorder, how to troubleshoot it? What could go wrong?

      @alyoungcuda  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You switched the wires behind the unit and it didn't work..the only way now is to use another wire separately and go to the camera, or take the camera off and hook it up to the unit with a new wire to verify if its the camera or the wire itself

    I'm becoming very unhappy with my Lorex, it's more issue after issues. I can't view video I get a message saying "something went wrong" I use to hit refresh and was good to go, not now.
    The camera on the back of my house at night time it looks very cloudy-smokey.
    My other issue is why don't all of my cameras catch everything? Like, I'll be watching the monitor, I'll see someone mowing across the street, dog or cat in my yard. It sees it just FINE. Yet I don't get an alert on my phone. That makes absolutely no sense.
    Mainly at night time only 1 camera will be doing it's job. I guess the other 2 are asleep...
    What does the C or M mean on the monitor? Hopefully someone can help, thanks.
