pwdiver 0 Posted September 7, 2016 Was wondering if a swann 720p would work on a Lorex 1080p system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almelst 1 Posted September 7, 2016 Probably yes. I guess that both cameras use Onvif protocol, so they are probably compatible. Just plug in and wait, no damage should be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alienzonecctv 0 Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) The LOREX 1080P LHV2 series DVRs have a bug and need to be recalled or LOREX needs to publish a firmware patch. They will not work with lower resolution cameras 720P and below. These are supposed to be backwards compatible to 720p, CIF, and other lower camera resolutions. Also, the channeling is paired on HD DVRs, you must set paired channels the same and use the same resolution cameras on each paired channel. Example: channels 1&2 set to 1080P recording, must have 1080P camera connected. Channels 3&4 set to 720P recording must have 720P cameras. The channeling is typically auto sensing and should auto sense the camera resolution. Repeat: The LOREX LHV2 series DVRs will not work with any cameras below 1080P resolution.

alienzonecctv 0 Posted March 14, 2017 1080P LHV2 Series DVR. Lorex specs state backwards compatible, and configuration recording options provide lower resolution settings. LOREX and other brand 720P cameras flicker on and off and will not sync. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
