1. 

How come I am receiving so many notifications?

• 

The amount of notifications you receive can be adjusted in the Lorex Home app for each 
setting or mode. For example, you can draw 

Motion Zones 

for certain areas that you want 

your doorbell to ignore while effectively monitoring the area you want and reducing false 

alert notifications. Adjusting 

Motion Sensitivity

 will also help.

• 

You can even manage notifications in 

Device Settings > Notifications

 and set a schedule 

to receive alerts at specific periods in the day.

2. 

How do I get the video doorbell’s light to stay on at night?

 

In 

Device Settings > Motion Detection Settings > Light Settings

, enable 

Night Light Mode

Then select 

Edit Schedule

 to set a start time and end time for each given day of the week. 

Make sure to save your settings.

3. 

Can the video doorbell be powered through USB permanently? 

 

Yes, the video doorbell can operate permanently using the included USB but it will not be able 

to connect to a chime box. Use it with a 2A (amp) USB power adapter (not included).

4. 

How do I record a custom quick response for the video doorbell?

 

In 

Device Settings

 

> Doorbell Quick Responses

, tap the 

+

 

on the top right and record your 

custom quick response. Tap 

Next

 to name and save the recorded message.  

5. 

What’s the wireless range of the video doorbell?

 

It depends on the strength of your Wi-Fi network. If the location where the video doorbell is 
installed has a weak signal, consider adding a Wi-Fi extender between your router and doorbell.
