The camera battery life is too short

Battery life depends on several factors, such as number of events or notifications, length of the recording, camera location, ambient temperature, and settings on the camera. As a guideline, please see the below scenerios.

• Installed in busy areas (25 events/day, 10s/event), battery life is estimated at 2-3 months.
• Installed in typical areas (12 events/day, 10s/event), battery life is estimate at 3-5 months.
• Installed in quiet areas (4 events/day, 10s/event), battery life is approximately 7-9 months.

To increase battery life:

• 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.
• Disable the Warning Light from the Lorex Cirrus app Live View.
• Change the Motion Detection Settings to only Person Detection.
• Reduce the number of Motion Detection Events by setting an Active Zone.
• Reduce the Motion Detection Sensitivity to a lower setting (1 = lowest).
