Woohoo just ordered the Lorex system from Costco

I went from having absolutely nothing to this so its a good start

 

One question is it possible to reboot the camera if it locks from the NVR? or is the only way to do that if I put it on a managed POE switch and turn that ethernet port off / on again?

 

how often does the lorex cameras lock? I ask because sometimes its 3 or 4 months with nobody at our cottage so if one goes down it could take a while before someone can reboot it

Yep, you can issue a reboot command from the NVR's web interface.

If you need more than 8 POE ports this one has been working great for me with 8 cams. 16 POE ports 120w total. And you can switch off the POE for and individual port if needed.
