1.  Which devices are compatible with the Lorex Home Center.  

To find out which devices are compatible with the Lorex Home Center, visit 

lorex.com/compatibility

2.  Which devices require a direct setup method or an app setup method.  

Direct setup method

 means you can connect a camera directly to the Lorex Home Center’s local network.  

App setup method

 means that the camera must first be set up on the Lorex home app and then 

 

afterwards the camera can be added to the Lorex Home Center. For more information on direct setup vs. 
app setup method, visit 

help.lorextechnology.com

 and go to the Lorex Home Center's product page.

3.  Failed to pair to the Lorex Home Center using the direct setup method. 

•  The device must be powered on and ready to pair. 
•  The distance between the device and the Lorex Home Center is too far. Make sure the device is no 

more than 3ft from the Lorex Home Center during the setup process.

•  Make sure you are only pairing one device to the Lorex Home Center at a time.
•  Press the camera’s pairing button and wait for the camera's status indicator to 

flash green

, then follow 

the Lorex Home Center's on-screen prompts to complete setup.

•  Another possible solution would be to reset the device. For cameras, press and hold down the reset 

button for 10 seconds to perform a hard reset. For sensors and doorbells, use the included pin to 
insert into the reset hole and hold for 10 seconds to perform a hard reset. An audible chime from the 
device will indicate a successful reset. Once the reset is complete you can connect the device to the 
Lorex Home Center. 

4.  Failed to pair to the Lorex Home Center using the app setup method. 

 

• 

Make sure the device has been setup on the Lorex Home app first. 

•  Make sure the device is within range of your Wi-Fi router. 
•  The Lorex Home Center and the device should be on the same Wi-Fi network.
