    so i am planning on getting an AI Port for my SD49225XA-HNR but now have been thinking of getting an LPR camera - I just don't know which one to get and how far it can be kept in terms of distance and still it can capture during the day and night. I know Unifi has one which I was thinking of...

    Lorex vs Unifi Cameras

    I think it's primarily the user experience with the software/app to be able to capture all events in a more user friendly way. Plus, my NVR right now has 8 slots but I need to install another 8 cameras. The NVR system I have is the Lorex Fusion, so I know I can add to my switch and then still...

    Yeah I don’t think the Lorex NVR is that capable or maybe I haven’t found it yet — by turning off motion detection it takes away from the notification alerts so figuring out how the ptz ive rule can work to notify
