13  Active Deterrence

Lorex Active Deterrence cameras feature bright, customizable dual warning lights and siren. Active Deterrence features can be used in combination with other detection features as long as they are supported by your camera, including motion detection, smart motion detection, face detection, face recognition, and virtual fence. By enabling automatic deterrence, these visual and audio alerts will trigger when motion is detected, in turn deterring unwanted visitors (see 13.1 Automatic Deterrence Settings ). You can also trigger the lights and sirens manually from the recorder and remotely on the Lorex Home app (see 13.2 Manually Activate Deterrence Features ).
