Q: What is FLIR Cloud™?

A: FLIR Cloud™ is an exclusive cloud-enabled service that allows for remote access to your system over the Internet without requiring any network configuration, DDNS registration, or port forwarding. Each system includes a Device ID, a unique code that allows your system to handshake with Lorex’s servers for a secure, instant connection over the Internet.

The system supports remote access using PC, Mac, Android™, and iOS, and you can connect to your system for the first time on any smartphone or tablet by simply scanning the QR code. A computer is not required for the initial setup.

Please note that an upload speed of 1Mbps or higher is required to enable video streaming over the Internet.

Q: When I connect, I get the message “Current connection is connected via relay, the connection will be disconnected in 10 min.” What does that mean?

Lorex Flir App For Windows

A: This message indicates the system is connected using relay mode. Relay mode works in the event that a hardware firewall or other security settings prevent direct peer-to-peer connection between the system and the viewing device. In relay mode, the video is sent from the system to the viewing device through the FLIR Cloud™ servers.

Because of the high bandwidth usage in relay mode, the connection will be automatically disconnected after 10 minutes of continuous use. After being disconnected, you can reconnect to the system right away.

Q: The system is prompting me for a firmware upgrade. Is this required?

A: Yes, your system's firmware must be upgraded to the latest version to get the best experience using the FLIR Cloud™ apps. For your convenience, when it is connected to the Internet, the system will automatically alert you if there is a firmware upgrade available. Once the firmware update is complete, check the downloads tab to update the PC or Mac Client Software or check the Google Play Store for Android™ or the App Store for iOS for mobile app updates.

NOTE: During the firmware upgrade process, do not unplug or power off the DVR or NVR. Firmware upgrades typically take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.

Q: What do I do if I am having difficulty connecting to the system using FLIR Cloud™?

A: The first thing to check is to make sure your system is connected to the Internet. Make sure the system is connected to your router using an Ethernet cable and then restart the system by turning it off and on with the power switch.

Double check that you have entered the correct Device ID, User Name, Password, and Client Port for your system.

  • Device ID: You can find the Device ID printed on the QR code label on the top panel of your system.
  • User Name: Default is admin.
  • Password: Default is 000000. For security, the first time you connect with the app you will be asked to change the password.
  • Client Port: Default is 35000.

Connection issues may also be caused by a slow connection. An upload speed of 1Mbps or higher is required to enable video streaming over the Internet. You can reduce the quality of the system's sub stream to improve the performance and reliability of the connection. The sub stream is the lower quality video stream that is used to stream video to devices over the Internet.

NOTE: Changing sub stream settings does not affect the quality of recordings saved to the system's hard drive. The quality for recordings is controlled by the main stream settings.

To change the sub stream settings:

  1. On the system, right-click and then click Main Menu. From the Main Menu, click and select .

    NOTE: For LNR100 Series, click and then click Recording. Citrix receiver for mac catalina.

  2. Under Channel, select 1.
  3. Configure the right column to set the sub stream settings. The following settings are recommended to improve the connectivity for slower Internet connections.
    • Resolution: CIF.
    • Frame Rate (FPS): 10.
    • Bitrate: 128.
  4. Click Copy. Click All and then click OK. This copies the sub stream settings to all channels.
  5. Click OK to save settings.

Q: How many users can be connected to the system remotely at the same time?

A: Up to 3 users can be connected to the system at the same time.

Q: I have forgotten the password for my system. What do I do?

A: If you have forgotten the password for your system, you must call Lorex Technical Support to have the password reset. For security, there is no way to reset the password yourself. Before calling Technical Support, please ensure your system is connected to your network (connect the system to your router with an Ethernet cable and restart the system).

I have Lorex surveillance system and have been using their Flir Cloud app to monitor my system when away from home.
After iOS 11 came out I installed it on my AT&T iPhone 6 and iPad Mini 4th gen and the app worked fine.
However, after purchasing an iPhone 8 and switching to Verizon the app stopped working. Same iOS the only thing different is the phone and carrier. It still works on my iPad Mini too.
The new update (11.0.1) did nothing either. It opens but then crashes as soon as the stream is about to show up. I contacted Lorex and they wouldn't even admit their app no longer works. I deleted it off my iPhone and downloaded it again from the app store and still nothing.
So my question is does anyone else with a Lorex surveillance system use another app to monitor their system?
