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 Alarm Settings.
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. Detection: Enable/disable motion detection or person detection per channel.
c. Area Selection: Configure the active area for motion detection so that only areas of in-
terest are selected and detected.
d. 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.
