yes good point, I had forgotten about that

well all 4 of mine just made it through the harsh northern ontario weather, it was -34C a few nights ago and with the windchill it was at least -40C pretty impressed with that!

Hi everyone i am using the lorex ip system from costco and right now i have 3 cameras connected and one of them i cannot get the motion detection to enable each time i try to enable it I get "network abnormal" or it says it saves but it doesnt work. I tried rebooting, even setting back to defaults but it still wont work Anyone else run across this problem? I have been playing for weeks without the solution i am doing it remote so i cant do it from the console and i wont physically be there for at least 4 more months

If you go into the app on your iphone and manage your devices and make a change and click save does it show any errors? I was having a similar problem with mine last week, it worked fine at my house but when i moved it to the cottage it wouldnt work, turned out the incoming and outgoing IP's on my cellulat internet cinnection was different and i had to call them and ask for a static IP So could be worth checking if your WAN IP of your router and if you go to whatismyip.com is the same, if not your problem likely lies there. Are you trying the I P or the DNS? Also check to be sure the DNS is being updated correctly if your using DNS

They have them inside already. lol someone is already ahead of me

has anyone tried putting some of those little silica packets inside the camera for the condensation?

I will checkout the cykick looks great

What kind do you use? I am curious if that doesn't leave some visible stains on the house?

I wonder what happens when it gets that low? I didnt notice this until after I placed the order and I am sure they will go below this temp where I am placing them

Awesome thanks for the confirmation

Tks Looks like it says elrs but it must be eurs, newegg has refurbs for 75 bucks, i purchased some wd's years ago and they are still going, and as its a copy its less risk than if it was the primary http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236215

Which camera ? Lorex cameras, haven't you been paying attention, it's the title of the post BTW, in checking the specs, the camera uses 7W, so if you put 8 of these on that 8 port PoE injector it may not work, maybe limit it to 6 of these cameras. While yes, you have 7W per port, that's at the port, with power loss over the Ethernet cable, it will be likely be 6W available to the camera. Since it will work with 5W without IR, you can always do that and force them in day mode. Yeah i noticed that, for now i only have 4 and i doubt i will go pass 6 anytime in the near future... If i do by then i will have a full poe switch anyway or worst case buy 2 injectors

From reading the manual, it looks like it just copies files over, its not RAID. I asked Lorex tech support for my ftp id/password so that I can retrieve the files that way and auto backup to an external NAS. They didn't say no, but they told me to call the 800 number and closed the ticket. hmm Ok thats strange i assumed they would do raid... Guess i should look at the manual also . So i guess its not so important which drive it is

From the images it looks like a WD Green HD? Anyone know if its the EARS EURS model etc? I would like to have the exact same model for a mirrored drive Also does anyone know if its using software or hardware raid? Just curious

I fully agree on that for the majority of people thats more than adequate
