Hi Guys,

Picked up some pre-owned Lorex E891AB cameras. Unfortunately, they did not come factory reset and I don't see a physical button to reset them to access the admin console.

Does anyone know how to Factory Reset them physically before I attempt to return?

Here's the help link that provides no help...

Normally the reset button is nearby the SD card slot.
If can't find it, just ask Lorex support to check for you.

Thank you Andy, there is no SD card slot on these. I wrote an email to Lorex support, but I doubt they'd help me, cause they'll say I didn't buy from their store. They also have a tech support number I'll try to call and see if they help.

In the meanwhile, if you have any other ideas or find something out, asking about these, I'll really appreciate it. Thank you!

Use a knife to tick this black plastic cover off, the reset button should be at the front of the camera. The mini bullet normally put the reset button before it based on my experience on dahua products.

Hi @ProTapper

Search the site for this camera, perhaps other Lorex cameras .. some have modified some cameras to have stronger lenses, and there's a few photos of what he is talking about here iirc.

@EMPIRETECANDY these pictures is what I found under the black plate and then the two screws... Do you see any reset buttons or ways to reset?

Hi @ProTapper

Are you certain??



New Lorex system at Costco - What do you guys think?

I was just in my local Costco and saw they have a new Lorex system they are selling. I picked up a kit to possible replace the Lorex system I got from Costco a year or 2 ago. The system isn't listed on the US Costco website but is on the Canadian one. It was $799.99 plus tax in store...

Hello Friends,

Posting a solution to this in case someone goes through this in the future. So I heard back from the vendor I bought from and spent a half hour on the phone with Lorex support. There are 2 methods to reset:

1. See the attached screen shot for directions. Shout out to my friend @wittaj for having the correct hunch! I will continue to say this, until I quit this board - @wittaj is a treasure we should cherish in this community! He is simply put, Da Man! :D

2. See Lorex's response:

Connect IP Camrea to an Exteral POE switch, which is also connected to a router.
Access your router GUI and check connected devices and look for the camera.

Copy the camera IP address and paste it to the browser address bar,

If you are able to access the log in screen of teh IP camera, Use admin/admin for username and password.

if error, Please call us back to reset the password for the IPC.

We need the " Date and Serial number that shows up on the camera log in screen"

Thanks and good luck everyone!
