What to do if Lorex LNR300 DVR is not receiving power?
- J
  Jacob GreenJul 31, 2025
  If your Lorex DVR system isn't powering up, start by checking the power cable to ensure it's securely connected to both the back of the unit and the power outlet. Make sure the power switch is in the ON (I) position. If it's connected to a power bar or surge protector, try plugging it directly into the wall. Confirm the outlet is working by testing it with another device or trying a different outlet.

What to do if Lorex LNR300 DVR hard drive is not detected?
- L
  lucassuarezAug 11, 2025
  If your Lorex DVR system doesn't detect the hard drive, first, remove the housing and make sure the hard drive cables are firmly connected. If there is no hard drive, open the housing and install a 3.5" SATA hard drive and format the drive after installing.
