STEP 4A: Installation Tips

Follow the tips below for more accurate motion detection and to optimize battery life:

• See images to the right for ideal setup. It is recommended to
place your camera at least 7ft (2.1m) above the ground and
angle it slightly downward toward the monitoring area, excluding
any busy areas (e.g., sidewalks or roadways).

• Ensure the camera image is free of obstructions (i.e., tree
branches).

• Position the camera no more than 20ft (6.1m) away from the
area you wish to monitor.

• See the “Optimizing Motion Detection” section to customize
motion settings for each camera on your system.

• Ensure you have configured the active area for motion detection
so that only areas of interest are selected. See the “Optimizing
Motion Detection” section for details.

• For best performance, position the camera so that objects of
interest will move from side-to-side across the camera image,
rather than moving towards or away from the camera.

• Install the camera within range of the recorder (noted in the
camera’s specifications).

• This camera is weather resistant for outdoor use (IP66 rated). Installation in a sheltered location
is recommended.

• Battery life will vary based on temperature, settings and number of events.

STEP 4B: Installing the Cameras

Follow the instructions below to mount the cameras. It is recommended that you refer
to the “Installation Tips” section to help you select good mounting locations.

To install your cameras:

1. Set the mounting bracket in the desired mounting position. Mark
holes through the mounting bracket (shown as orange X’s on the
right).

2. Drill holes where marked for the mounting screws using the
included drill bit (item C in toolkit).

3. Secure the bracket to the mounting surface with
the included mounting screws (×4). Make sure all
screws are fastened tightly using the included
screwdriver (item A+B in toolkit).

NOTES:

• Insert the included drywall anchors if you are mounting the camera

onto drywall.

• The hole at the top of the mounting bracket will be used in step 5,

once the camera is attached to the mounting plate.

Optimizing Motion Detection

Customize motion detection settings to ensure motion events are being recorded and
reduce false alarms.

To optimize motion detection:

1. Launch the Lorex Cirrus app.

2. Tap a channel in Live View to select it.

3. Tap

, then tap Motion.

4. Configure the following as needed:

a. Sensitivity: The amount of motion needed

to trigger recording (e.g., higher sensitivity
requires less motion to trigger recording).

b. Area Selection: Set the active area for

motion detection. Video appears with a red
grid overlayed, meaning the whole image is
active. Tap red squares to disable motion
detection in those areas (see example image
to the right). Tap Save when finished.

TIP: Disable areas that will trigger unwanted

motion events, like busy streets or trees and shrubs that will move in the wind.

c. Distance Setting: Configure distance setting for motion detection. While watching

the camera’s video on your mobile device, recreate a motion event in front of your
camera. The icon will change from to when motion is detected by the camera.

Change the distance setting if motion detection is being triggered by unwanted
events.

NOTE: Distance will be affected by temperature.

d. Buzzer: Set the recorder to sound an alarm when motion is detected.

5. Tap Save when finished. Repeat for other cameras on the system.

charge.

• Remove obstructions between the receiver and camera. Materials such as brick,
concrete and wood can significantly impact the wireless signal strength.

• Try repositioning the camera, receiver, or both to improve the reception. The receiver
can be wall mounted using the included double-sided tape or mounting screws.

• Ensure the camera is not pointing at a high-traffic area. Position the camera so it
only captures areas of interest with no high-traffic areas (e.g., a busy sidewalk or
roadway) visible in the image.

• Live video is being viewed too frequently. Viewing live video often will impact battery
performance.

• Ensure you have set an active area and distance setting for motion detection to
reduce false alarms. See “Optimizing Motion Detection” for details.

• Battery life will vary based on temperature, settings and number of events.

• Try repositioning the camera, receiver, or both to improve the reception.

• Ensure the camera resolution is set to 720p using the Lorex Cirrus app or the DVR.

• Try moving the camera closer to the receiver.

• Remove obstructions between the receiver and camera.

• Your camera may be too far away from the area of interest. Try to keep the camera
within 20ft (6.1m) of the area you want to monitor.

• Review the “Installation Tips” and “Optimizing Motion Detection” sections to ensure
your camera is installed in an optimal location and motion detection is properly
configured.

• Move your camera to a different location.

• The night vision activates when light levels drop. The area may have too much light.

• Too much environmental interference will affect picture clarity. Move your camera to
a different location.

• Night vision reflects when pointing a camera through a window. Move the camera to
a different location.
