Warning on Newer Lorex Cams: Browser Firmware Upgrade Fails

Recommended Posts

I recently got the Lorex 6 cam 8 channel NVR setup on sale from Costco. Only wanted the cams to use with a computer based NVR. Anyway maybe this is old news, but the cams would NOT take the Hikvision raptor firmware via the web interface (it failed--tried 5.02, 5.1 and an older 4.x something). TFTP using the Hikivsion client did work (though it was a bit flaky). Also of note the camera first tried to hit UDP 9978 before trying UDP 69 (standard TFTP port) so you have to use the Hikivsion TFTP client or you cannot upgrade (i.e., third party TFTP servers won't work because they won't respond correctly on UDP 9978 first). Anyway I apologize if this is old news but my old SWANNs upgraded fine via web interface so I was surprised when that failed with the Lorex cams.
