Not trying to duck the question, but this really seems like something to ask Lorex.  If the Lorex is sold as a "system", then my guess is that the Lorex NVR acts as a WiFi access point (probably 2.4G)  It may assign cameras IP addresses in an IP space which is not the same as the Orbi network.  If you provide the model number, we can help look at the User Manual to see if there is a provision to take camera connections from the primary WiFi network.  It would probably be more effective to ask Lorex directly.
