Most Lorex cameras come with a DVR or NVR, which are internet-connected computer boxes where recordings can be stored. Each DVR has a different reset process, but to give you an idea on how resetting often works, here’s how to reset three Lorex DVR models that we tested.
To reset your Lorex DVR on the NR900 and N881/N882 series:
Plug in your DVR.
Press and hold the FN button. Your system will restart.
To reset your Lorex DVR on the N861 series:
Plug in your DVR.
Repeatedly tap the panic button. The Lorex screen should show up on your monitor, meaning that the reset is finished.
To reset your Lorex DVR on the D841/D861 and N841/N842/N843 series:
Hold the panic button while you plug in your DVR. You’ll see the Lorex screen on your monitor, meaning the DVR has reset.
If you have a different DVR or NVR model, the best you can do is consult the manual. And if you’ve lost your manual, you can easily find and download a copy from Lorex. Simply Google “Lorex [DVR or NVR model] user manual”.
