Default Lorex network DVR failed

How are these cameras used?
How do you usually view them.
What is the expected record time?
Any mounted outdoors or all indoors?

What is the cost of the system if you have to buy a new one?

Suggestion 1) There is supposed to be an ActiveX software that will
allow a web browser to work with the system. Ask Lorex Tech support
how this might be used perhaps in place of the DVR.

Suggestion 2) Buy Lorex Live Ping LNC-104 cams (two for $179) and use
a PC or laptop or smart-phone or tablet to view and listen (good
audio). PC can record (so can smart-phone and tablet but disk storage
on PC is much larger). Also has PIR motion and pixel motion recording
with eMail or FTP notification. Caveat: indoor only but I use mine
thru windows if oriented correctly so IR lamp on unit does not
interfere with night vision capability. Excellent night vision is B&W.
Daylight or room light is full color. Need LAN with router. Router
with WPS makes for two click setup. Internet needed only for remote
viewing.
