Remote Easy Connect Network Settings
Setting up IP Camera to be viewed remotely involves setting up a port forwarding, meaning logging in to the router and changing settings.If dynamic IP is being use, a DDNS registration is required.

In SMB or Enterprise installations static IP will be use for each IP and professional installer will configure the network parameters.But when it comes to the SOHO (Consumer Market), installation will be done by end user.

The user sometimes does not have same networking knowledge as professional integrator. This is where the new generation of Remote Easy Connect network cameras comes in to place.

Lorex is the first to introduce an IP Camera for the consumer market that required no networking knowledge in order to view the camera from a remote location (no port forwarding).

By using the detection software provided, enabling an on line username and password, the camera will be auto registered under the customer secured web account. From this point users are able to logging to the camera viewing anywhere anytime there is an internet connection available or using their 3G iPhone™

VESA Compatible DVRs
VESA compatible DVR are designed small and light enough to mount to the back of an LCD monitor that has clear access to VESA mounting holes (100x100mm). This allows users to use their own personal monitor to save on cost and space.
