The only 32 bit app on my iMac is the Lorex Flir Cloud Client. I use the app on all my devices to monitor the cameras. Does anyone know if Lorex is going to release a 64 bit version of the app. If I upgrade to Catalina it will disable the installed 32 bit app :(
Here’s what they sent me:
In the new version of Mac OS, the structure of the OS was completely changed and it is no longer compatible with our software, the software that you can try and setup is the SmartPss, down below, you'll find the link to download it and the setup instructions, please let us know if it works for you:

link goes to how to install instructions. Good luck.
Don't even try the link; it is a Windows solution and appears to be 32bit.
How do you view on your TV as a monitor? My Apple Tv won't run Lorex Cloud because my system is older. Hints?
Have a link to share with us out here, JD Mom?
As far as I know, Lorex is owned by Dahua now ...
For those who switched from Smart PSS -- if Smart PSS is working fine with Catalina, do you see any reason to switch right now to this new "Lorex" version on MediaFire?
You can refer to the Lorex Wiki page for the latest application updates, however there are no updates yet for macOS Catalina and I wouldn't hold my breath on seeing one any time soon. For now I am running the latest windows version through Parallels and even that version has a lot of bugs and spelling errors.
I am not sure you want to change the NVR software; I will still be able to access my cameras from the mobile app or on a Windows based PC or through the NVR directly using my TV as the monitor. If Lorex does not update their software for 64 bit Catalina then I will use my TV to make any changes to the NVR and will still be able to access the cameras through my iPhone.
This is the software that works on Catalina

Q-See and Lorex basically use the same software, probably both made in China. Anyway, the SmartPSS.pkg works I have verified. It works on both Lorex and Q-See systems.
The Lorex Cloud 64 bit app is out, as of 1/15/20. Call the Lorex 800 number to get the link. I agree the link looks bogus but I downloaded the app & it works (since it's the first version, it still needs work). Got the info from Lorex tech support.
After using it for about an hour, the Lorex version is better. I am running Catalina on a iMac Pro and the main differences I am seeing are:
SmartPSS crashes often when closing the application while the Lorex app has not crashed at all.
SmartPSS issue when moving window from the iMac display to an external display that has a lower resolution. When I move the window (or even open the app) on the lower resolution display, all of the camera views are 'zoomed' in unless I move the window back to the iMac display. This issue does not occur with the Lorex app.
That being said I have removed SmartPSS as the Lorex app is more stable on my machine.
JGiraldin,
I think many of us have tried the Lorex site, but it is not helpful.
To those that have posted here with your suggestions on how to fix this, thank you!
