Q: What is FLIR Cloud™?

A: FLIR Cloud™ is an exclusive cloud-enabled service that allows for remote access to your system over the Internet without requiring any network configuration, DDNS registration, or port forwarding. Each system includes a Device ID, a unique code that allows your system to handshake with Lorex's servers for a secure, instant connection over the Internet.

The system supports remote access using PC, Mac, Android™, and iOS, and you can connect to your system for the first time on any smartphone or tablet by simply scanning the QR code. A computer is not required for the initial setup.

Please note that an upload speed of 1Mbps or higher is required to enable video streaming over the Internet.

Q: Is DDNS setup or port forwarding required in order to view live / recorded video from the NVR on my computer or mobile device?

A: No. With the FLIR Cloud app, it's possible to connect to your NVR with your computer, iPhone, iPad or Android device by simply scanning the QR code located on the top of your NVR or entering the device ID. DDNS connectivity is still an option for connecting to the system, which requires that the appropriate ports are properly forwarded.

Q: When I connect, I get the message 'Current connection is connected via relay, the connection will be disconnected in 10 min.' What does that mean?

A: This message indicates the system is connected using relay mode. Relay mode works in the event that a hardware firewall or other security settings prevent direct peer-to-peer connection between the system and the viewing device. In relay mode, the video is sent from the system to the viewing device through the FLIR Cloud™ servers.

Because of the high bandwidth usage in relay mode, the connection will be automatically disconnected after 10 minutes of continuous use. After being disconnected, you can reconnect to the system right away.

Q: Why does it say 'Offline' after I connect to the system on the FLIR Cloud Client?

A: The software will say 'Offline' while it is connecting to your system. It may take up to 60 seconds before it connects and displays 'Online'.

If it still says 'Offline' after 60 seconds, follow the steps under 'What do I do if I am having difficulty connecting to the system using FLIR Cloud™?'

Q: The system is prompting me for a firmware upgrade. Is this required?

A: Yes, the NVR firmware and software must be upgraded to the latest version to use the FLIR Cloud™ apps. For your convenience, when it is connected to the Internet, the system will automatically alert you if there is a firmware upgrade available. Once the firmware update is complete, check the downloads tab to update the PC or Mac Client Software or check the Google Play Store for Android™ or the App Store for iOS for mobile app updates.
