    Video skips when motion detected

    This would possibly be the issue. The recordings where it skipped were showing General, Motion, and IVS events at once.

    Video skips when motion detected

    Sorry for the late reply, just got back home. It plays normally on the NVR, pausing for a split second where it skipped on the phone but continued playing without skipping anything.

    any info where to find firmware for Honeywell HBW2GR3

    I am almost certain Honeywell Security has shut down. I spent a whole day calling every Honeywell hotline, local security installers, and browsing websites. They simply don’t provide anything unless you setup the system with their security service or are an authorized installer.

    Video skips when motion detected

    I have an issue where many cameras skip recording for a few seconds after detecting motion, causing the event to be unrecorded. I attached a video of what this looks like. I verified the NVR has adequate resources for the bitrate and the hard drives pass the SMART test. What could be going on...

    any info where to find firmware for Honeywell HBW2GR3

    Honeywell cameras almost never allow outside firmware. They have a security chipset that won’t allow it to update unless the firmware is signed by Honeywell.

    Attention Honeywell Installers

    I am trying to get access to firmware for a security camera but it is locked to access by only authorized Honeywell installers. Are there any installers who have access to the Honeywell Web Tech system that can send me the file from the Honeywell database? It used to be accessible using...

    How can I upgrade a Lorex HD DVR to a Dahua Firmware?

    Well it was worth a try. The NVR cost me $40 on eBay so not too bad for a paperweight. :confused:

    How can I upgrade a Lorex HD DVR to a Dahua Firmware?

    I don't know if it would work because I have a DVR not an NVR.

    How can I upgrade a Lorex HD DVR to a Dahua Firmware?

    Update: found this hidden directory of the firmware files. I will be checking for the older firmware. https://www.lorextechnology.com/images/supportimages/supportarticles/firmware/Lorex_DVR_NVR_Firmware.pdf

    How can I upgrade a Lorex HD DVR to a Dahua Firmware?

    I believe you are right about the firmware blocking. The unit shuts off when I attempt to load Dahua firmware via Configtool and only starts up again when I unplug and plug in again. Some said that they had to downgrade the firmware. Any ideas where to find older firmware? Thanks!

    How can I upgrade a Lorex HD DVR to a Dahua Firmware?

    Hi all. I have been researching this topic heavily but I am running into errors. I found multiple firmware files but every time I try to upgrade it the DVR says it failed to upgrade. I think the DVR doesn't recognize the firmware and is blocking it. Upon opening the device I found it has a Dahua...

    What is image eq?

    Guys I have no idea what image eq is. I looked it up and the only documentary says it is some kind of image enhancement. Depending on what it's set to, the camera footage can be completely fine or over saturated and horrible quality. It also has some type of auto selection button and lock...

    Hey there! I figured out a solution! Go to Microsoft Edge and open the client. Click the ... at the top right. Then select "Reload in Internet Explorer Mode". Good luck! I got it working with my 16 Channel XVR.
