Hi tomcctv. Thank you for the info. So, I downloaded the tool, have the camera plugged into my router and powered by 12v power supply. I am not able to see the camera in the tool. What am I doing wrong? Does it matter what version of Config Tool I am using? Can I use Dauah's tool? Also, where would I go to get the updated firmware? Sorry for my ignorance, but I have never done anything like this before. Thanks, Mike

Oh, ok. So I finally found the Config Tool. Will this work with the cameras plugged into the back of my Lorex NVR? I don't have a switch with POE functionality. Also, am I changing the IP address? My current network is 192.168.10.x. Is there a default IP address associated with the camera? What security patch is preventing Lorex from seeing it? Thank you again, Mike

Oh, and the NVR is the LNK7000 Series. Mike

Thank you for your reply. I tried using a pair of Q-See QCN8068B. I would click on Quick Add, but nothing would show up in the list. Mike

Hello all. I am looking for a 16 channel IP Security Camera system that be expanded easily. I recently bought a Lorex system, which claim that there system is ONVIF compatible, but when trying to add another camera from another manufacturer, I was not able to set it up. The reason that I chose another brand is because it had a narrower FOV (82 deg) then the Lorex ones (101 deg) for my front door. What brands <$2000 are available that are good quality, but also easily expandable? I don't need the full 16 cameras now, but I would like to start with at least 8. I also don't need PTZ either. Or is it better to buy a good NVR and go with different cameras from there? Either way, I just need an expandable system that plays well with other brands. Thanks in advance, Mike
