      The most likely cause is that motion detection is enabled and the alarm buzzer is activated. To disable the beeping, go to the Main Menu, click Event, then Motion, then Motion Detect. Uncheck Buzzer for each channel and click Apply.

      This issue can occur if the camera cables are loose or disconnected. Check the camera video cable and connections, and disconnect and reconnect the cable at both the system and the camera. You might also try moving the camera to another channel or using a different cable.

      Richard TaylorAug 25, 2025
      This can happen if the mouse cable isn't firmly connected. Ensure the mouse cable is securely connected to one of the USB ports. If that doesn't work, the system might need a reset. Power off the Lorex DVR by disconnecting the power cable, then firmly connect a USB mouse to one of the USB ports. Reconnect the power cable to the DC 12V port on the rear panel.
