  If your Lorex DVR isn't powering up, there are a couple of things to check: * Make sure the cable from the power adapter is securely connected to the back of the unit and to the power outlet. * If connected to a power bar or surge protector, try plugging it directly into the wall outlet. * Confirm the system is powered on (LED indicators should be ON). * Test the outlet with another device or try a different outlet.

  Angela HoodSep 7, 2025
  If there is no picture on selected channels or a camera picture is not being displayed on your Lorex DVR, the issue is likely with the camera connections. Check the camera video cable and connections. Disconnect and reconnect the cable at both the system and the camera. You can also try moving the camera to another channel or using a different cable.

Why is there no sound on my Lorex D231A41B recorder?
- K
  kelsey92Sep 12, 2025
  The recorder supports audio recording, but requires audio-enabled cameras with a built-in microphone, or an external microphone to be connected. If your cameras do not feature a microphone for audio recording, that could be the reason you are not getting any sound.
