STEP 3A: 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 3B: 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).

ATTENTION:

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.

• Ensure the Power Pack is properly inserted into the camera base.

• Ensure you have removed the PLEASE REMOVE label from the Power Pack.

• Connect the power adapter to your Power Pack to ensure it is charged. The LED on the Power Pack glows green for full charge, or red for less than full charge.

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

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

• 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, recorder, or both to improve the reception.

• Change camera resolution to 720p using the Lorex Cirrus app or the recorder to increase the frame rate.

• Move the camera closer to the recorder.

• Remove obstructions between the recorder 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.

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