Camera setup · Lorex

Connect a Lorex camera to VISEC.

Wired Lorex IP cameras generally speak ONVIF or RTSP, so VISEC can take their stream directly. Battery and Wi-Fi-only models are the exception — they are built to sleep between events and usually do not offer either.

First, try the easy way

Press scan.

VISEC searches your network for ONVIF cameras and lists what it finds. If your Lorex camera already has ONVIF switched on, it appears here and you are watching live in a few seconds — nothing below is needed.

Finding the setting

If the camera does not appear.

Menu names move around between firmware versions, so treat these as the place to look rather than an exact path.

  1. Check what the model supports

    Look up your model number on Lorex's own specification page and check for ONVIF or RTSP. If neither is listed, the camera is designed to work only with its own app or NVR.

  2. Open the camera or the NVR in a browser

    Cameras wired to a Lorex NVR are often reached through the recorder rather than directly. Sign in as the admin.

  3. Look for ONVIF or a third-party option

    It may sit under network, advanced or integration settings depending on firmware.

  4. Scan from VISEC

    Press scan and sign in with the camera's admin user name and password.
