Lorex Secure / FLIR Secure App: Configuring Night Vision mode

Your HD WiFi camera Night Vision mode is set to automatically activate as a default. During low / no light conditions, the camera's Infrared (IR) Cut Filter moves away from the lens to let in 100% of the infrared light for maximum night vision performance. This results in the camera image changing to black and white for better image quality.

You can use the Lorex Secure / FLIR Secure app on your smartphone or tablet to turn Off your camera's Night Vision mode. You may want to do this when you are aiming your HD WiFi camera through a window. Disabling the night vision feature eliminates any halo effect reflections caused by the IR LEDs.

• Install the Lorex Secure app, available for Android on the Google Play Store or iOS (Apple) on the App Store.
  OR
• Install the FLIR Secure app, available for Android on the Google Play Store or iOS (Apple) on the App Store.
• Ensure you have connected to your DVR / NVR system or HD WiFi camera using the Lorex Secure / FLIR Secure app.
