Pull a week of footage off your Lorex recorder

Lorex recorders share their menus with a couple of underlying manufacturers, so yours will match one of these paths. You'll need a USB stick (64 GB or larger). When you're done, head back to the upload steps.

The steps

  1. Plug your USB stick into the recorder
    Use a free USB port on the recorder (unplug the mouse temporarily if both ports are taken, plug it back after).
  2. Open the backup menu
    Right-click then Main Menu then Video then Backup (on some models it's directly Backup on the main menu).
  3. Choose camera, day, and hours
    Pick the channel showing your main sales floor, set the date and your open-to-close hours.
  4. Export as MP4
    Choose MP4 as the file type where offered, select the USB stick, and start the backup. A full day takes a while, leave it running.

Multiple file chunks? Recorders often split a day into many files, totally fine. Send the whole folder via Smash (the free upload tool, see the upload steps).

Using a computer instead? The Lorex Client / Lorex Cloud desktop apps can do it too: Playback then select camera & time range then Download.
