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
).
Refer to your camera’s documentation to locate the warning light, dual warning light, and embedded speaker for siren on your
camera.
