okay this is what the lorex 4k app looks like when you start it up you get little thumbnails
of your video cameras just old ones though and you can play them this is on a samsung
android device right now you can see that it's real time and it's showing the actual
um cameras and then when you go to another camera it automatically brings it up
as you can see
and you can go to timeline here
and you could play back older times
and the problem is when you get an event in the android it doesn't play back properly
see how it says uh oh something went wrong this is in the android for some reason when
an event occurs it doesn't play back
now ios it plays back fine also on the computer it plays back fine but see right after the
event it starts letting you play back again it on the android it won't let you play an
event that was captured
see something went wrong
now when you get the alerts in your email or if you get an alert from the device you
can set up alerts it will play it back so the alerts themself will play back but when
you want to go for the timeline on an android device the alerts do not play back properly
see what i mean but if you go ahead a few seconds it will play back
and sometimes if you go over in the beginning of it it will play back and then it will run
through it but you have to wait seconds for it to run through but um android devices with
the lorex camera system there seems to be a buggy software um that's what i want to
let you know that there is a little bit of a bug in the software playback during alert
times
i'll show you the phone version
okay this is the iphone version of the app you can play the video just as well on the
iphone um actually better i think the iphone is the way to go should be able to go back
and forth between the two there we go so it does play back live video no problem
live video mode then you go to timeline on this one and let's say you want to go to an
event that happened let's say
you could see the events
and there's an event right there and you can see the iphone actually plays the event through
on timeline on android look at that you could see a little animal going by that was pretty
cool let's see what kind of animal that was okay so it was an armadillo that was walking
around out there and then right after that a cat showed up i mean it was not even a minute
later and the cat was there checking out the armadillos so that was pretty cool
this is pretty hard to record so i'm going to try um this is basically when you click
on one of the cameras you could go to a timeline and this is the timeline here it's showing
earlier this morning and there's some small lines on here i don't know how close you can
see that if you could even see that right now but when you pinch it the lines get bigger
see how long large it got so then you could focus in on an event and then it'll start
playing that event like there was a cat there and there was an armadillo there um
it takes a few seconds to figure out where where the event occurred because this records
i have it set to record 10 seconds before an event so it gets a little bit of um recording
prior to the event actually happening um i think the cat shows up here really soon there's
the cat
and then you could record this to your phone or you could record from the dvr i mean or
from the website you could do the same thing but um that's how you focus in on events you
stretch this with your fingers and you can see the actual events that occur
and all you could see the whole day you could go back a couple of days like yesterday or
the day before depending on how much storage you got and how good your resolution is when
you're recording i record up to like like eight or nine days and i have information
from that far back
but you can see there's an event there now this works really well on the iphone the android
when you get to these yellow events it kind of doesn't want to play them uh let me see
if i can get an android thing going
playback fails on the android where the apple it plays back no problem so they're not putting
too much effort i mean the android app
see it will play back sooner or later but you got to really play around with it um the
closer to an event the harder it is for it to play back for some reason but the apple
device works well every time there is an event right there so it did you just mess around
with this long enough and it will play it back
there's your event two so it's playing back up there let's see if you can get the cat
in there or whoever else is hanging out
there's the cat so it will play back on the android but it is a lot more finicky and you
have to mess around with it you have to keep messing around with this until it finally
decides to play back where the apple plays back instantaneously but that's only one way
to get the videos you have multiple ways to get videos on this system
