Adjust Motion Sensitivity

You can adjust the level of Motion Sensitivity for your Lorex wired camera according to your preference. The higher the sensitivity level, the less motion is required to trigger an event. If you get too many or too few motion detection notifications, try these steps to test or adjust the motion detection sensitivity of your Lorex wired camera.

1. Open your Lorex App and login.

2. Under your recorder, swipe left and tap on your wired camera.

3. From your wired camera's Live View screen, tap the Device Settings icon .

• For decreased motion sensitivity, go for a lower level between 1-3. We recommend starting at a low setting.
• For increased sensivitity, go for a higher level between 4-5. Higher sensitivity will result in increased notifications.

6. Tap Save.

Creating Motion Zones™
