- I've been happy with my Lorex system, until my driveway camera started acting up. Unplugging then replugging power fixes it it only for hours - one day tops. What would cause this? The camera? The video cable? The camera's power supply (though all the other cameras work from the same supply)? Or the recording unit itself?
UPDATE: Camera is bad. Lorex replaced it under warranty with free shipping. All good now. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Iam having a similar problem but with the Q-See brand camera from costco. I was also thinking the power adapter issue, and ove rthe last 4-5 months more and more cameras are acting like this on and off.
When you look back at the footage does it show all the
These outside connectors are not that water tight, I used electrian's tape over the connection and my problem went away. Now if I can get rid of the blue boxes?
Does it show all the bad quality in that one camera or does it record perfectly fine ?
In my case, the power plug for the camera (not the video signal plug) had corrosion like you see on a car battery. I sprayed both the male and female terminals with electrical contact spray cleaner (alcohol based) and wiped out the corrosion with a paper towel but q-tips are better to get all the corrosion out. I re-connected and signal is good and stable. I wrapped with electrical tape and duct tape, but this could make the problem worse as condensation builds up on the tape, and bridges the positive and negative, causing ionic precipitation/corrosion. Gotta clean it every couple years when the signal starts going out. Good luck!
This worked for me. Thanks!
@@josephcastro5894 Awesome! You reminded me of this fix, too. Thanks! :)
FYI (this might help you) my cameras all died suddenly (signal just went back), i think after a heavy rain. The base station was glitchy, so I threw it on the floor in frustration. Haha. A new Sannce (sp) knockoff is $50 on ebay without the HD, and the unit seems much better, so far. I finally determined the failure was the separate power supply (just for the cameras) shorted, likely from moisture-salts/corrosion again. It's a 12vdc-2.5 amp switch-mode that failed, i'm going to use a sturdier iron-core i have lying around, cutting off the old switch mode and crimp on the new one.
For the outside power wire connections where the short/salts built up, after cleaning again, i'm going to cut-off the push-connectors and use twist caps connectors instead, and keep the caps away from each other, and maybe fill the electrical caps with a silicone and then cover in electrical tape, and zip tie the wires to keep anything from tugging them apart.
Pain in the ass! Hopefully this lasts till I'm dead (when I fall off the ladder).
Having same problem every night when it goes into infrared mode I suspect the extra current required when infrared first comes on takes camera out I’ve replaced cameras at first I purchased a 10 camera set had extras but problem still occurs. My cameras have extended cables because of location so I’m truly convinced it’s a low voltage problem I’ve already installed larger power supply on cameras even went as far as using one power supply per camera but it’s a voltage drop due to length of cables so for now I’ve installed a timer that shuts power off and on 5 minutes after dusk. Will be installing power supplies in attic closer to cameras in spring. Can’t believe Lorex hasn’t figured this out. I was told to switch power supply to camera.
I just had a 4 camera system installed. The two cameras close to the power supply work fine at night but the other two go offline when it gets dark.
I'm having a problem with my motion sensor setting the camera of to record back to back for no reason.
What exactly do you mean? I'm having a motion sensing problem with several cameras that randomly stop recording but still have a live view. Lorex has no idea and I have narrowed it down to the camera itself. So far it's 4 out of my 8 cameras doing the same thing intermittently.
Thanks for your post help me out my cameras working after see your video 🎉
How do you know if there is a firmware update for the cameras, and how and where do I download?
jdubdoubleu Hey I had the same problem , I fix it by changing the ac/dc adaptor that goes to the dVR , it’s not the one that connects to all the cámaras , it’s the one that goes to the DVR , good luck guys
I have been able to see the cameras on my phone..but recently it's just showing the buffering circle and no pictures..how can I fix this on my phone so I can see the camera views? Thanks!
I have problem with lorex got from Costco goes off and on please someone can help
Also when the cables are disconnected does it still record or not ? Been wanting to buy these at Costco
That was a dumb question.

My system during the day all the cams go black and sometimes it flickers. But the weird thing is that the power supply the green light flickers during the day. As soon as it hits 6:30pm all the cams start working also the power supply stops flickering. I can't monitor my house during the day. Just at night. Can anybody help me out with this? Thanks.
I know is old video..this happens to me only in one camera! Did you found a fix or setting that was wrong??
@@justyouraverageguy4076 i found I had a problem with the DVR and the camera power supply. I got a new DVR and a new power supply and problem solved.
I see.. mine is brand new probably 3 weeks that i installed it.. my cameras are POE and connected directly to the NVR. All cameras work.. just one that is all completely black and then later on works like nothing happend.
@@justyouraverageguy4076 check then the power supply maybe is damage. Or the cable source.
My camera shows on the screen white with no flickering just solid white
Did you find a solution to the problem? Mine's doing same thing
serge prok It was a bad camera. I returned it to Lorex for a free replacement.
tanbrolo all of mines did this at the same time
Isaac Miranda did you fix the problem. Im having the same problem. Any advice??
I know this is an old post. But basically i purchased mine in the UK. All my cameras do the same thing. When i unplug the adapter its so hot to the touch. I let it cool down and now it works. I havent had my system on tho as i dont trust the temperature of the adapter when im not home. Lorex do not ship parts to the UK. Has anyone else had this same issue with a hot adapter? Thanks.

I have the same problem. i spoke to lorex (after 1:40 minute hold ) they told me its a bad power supply feeding the cameras. hopefully that will fix the problem.
I hope the power supply fixes your problem. But for me, power supply was fine and camera was bad.
When you replaced the camera did you use a new power supply too, or did you use the old power supply on a new camera? Interested to know, thanks
jason fuller Lorex sent me just a camera replacement and I'm using the same power supply. 6 months later, everything is still working.
Ok thanks. Obviously the tech support at lorex in India must not know what he is talking about. Now I have to call back again and speak to someone different and wait on hold for 2 hours
+tanbrolo I just got a new power supply for the DVR, not the cameras, and that fixed the problem. I figured I'd let you know. problem solved
You need to buy the bigger grade coaxial cable it works better and solves the problem
Harvey Clarke it was a hardware problem with the camera. Lorex replaced it under warranty, working fine now.
it is a bad power supply to the DVR. I'm letting everyone know this correct information. it's not a bad DVR, it's not bad cameras, it's not bad wires, it's a bad power supply to the DVR. the output on the power supply is 12 volt 1.5 amps. I wish someone shared that with me. it would have saved me two weeks worth of time
How do you fix this
I have same problem but it's stops working as soon as you restart the camera it will work find it could be power supply that's right
If you truly have a DVR that doesn't supply power to the cameras.
T II hey I have this same problem, how did you fix this issue?
I'm here 4 years later with the same issue and I'm going to try this. Thanks.
Change the camera first...then the 4connecter plug in device..
Hey I had the same problem , I fix it by changing the ac/dc adaptor that goes to the dVR , it’s not the one that connects to all the cámaras , it’s the one that goes to the DVR , good luck guys
Hey sam! i'm having the same problem so where can I purchased this ac/ac adaptor? Thanks in adavance!!
Twista Loc hey , I’m not sure I bought one that’s universal but I’m sure you can find one on amazon
Which power supply did you get?
lorex is not the lorex of yesterday
In all fairness to Lorex, they handled my camera return well and I received a replacement quickly. But I've only bought one system from Lorex ever, so I don't really know what's typical.
Good luck talking to lorex tech. Make sure they have 3 types, Chinese, African, and Indian support. If you got a North American, ask for 6 numbers from 1 to 60, and go to the lottery. It's your lucky day.
Cool story. They mailed me a replacement camera at no cost.
Kjj
Lorex Systems simply suck
agree 100% my Lorex system has been nothing but a headache since I bought it. Customer support is nonexistent. Definitely a company I would never give another dollar to.
Yes they do
lorex is junk. all my cameras are doing the same thing. never again
Just replace the camera and stop make all this motion, nothing is perfect!
Why would I do this if it's potentially easy to fix and/or possibly not broken?
PS - you're three years too late.
Replaced four cameras in three years . System is garbage!!!
Biggest garbage system l have seen
