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. Repeat for other cameras on the system.

Installation Tips
• 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
Follow the tips below for more accurate motion detection and to optimize
battery life:
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.

Pair your add-on camera to your recorder using the free Lorex Cirrus app for
smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android).

channel you would like to
pair a camera to (marked

2. Tap PAIR. A timer for 30
seconds appears.
3. Press and hold the pair
button on the back of the
camera for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A “pairing successful” message should appear on screen. If you do not see this
message, repeat the steps above.

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

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
provided in the toolkit with your
wire-free system).
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.
STEP 3: 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.

the mounting bracket so the 2
tabs in the mounting bracket
lock into the 2 slots in the
camera base.
