Lorex Ping 2 App: Connecting to your LNC camera using Local Search

The Lorex Ping 2 app can be used to connect to your LNC Series cameras on a Local Area Network (LAN) using Local Search. Use Local Search if your smartphone or tablet has lost connection with an LNC camera, and you do not have the ability to manually enter the device ID or scan the QR code of your camera.
