By default, the system is set to record motion events from all connected cameras. It is recom-
mended that you use the Lorex Cirrus app to optimize camera motion detection regions so that
only objects of interest will trigger recording (see 4.4.3
, page 14
for details). You can also record video from your cameras manually using the recorder interface
or the Lorex Cirrus app.
When a camera is recording video, the type of recording is shown with an icon in the bottom-left
corner of the camera image.
You may see one of the following icons:
•
Motion Recording:
The system has detected motion and is recording the event.
•
Continuous / Manual Recording:
One of 2 actions may be occurring:
1. Manual recording has been enabled and the system is currently recording video.
2. Certain wire-free systems have an option for continuous recording. In order to take ad-
vantage of continuous recording:
◦
Your recorder must have a hard drive installed – recorders that use microSD card stor-
age do not support continuous recording.
◦
Connect any cameras you want to record continuously to a power outlet using a USB
power adapter.
◦
Change the camera’s recording time to
Continuous
(see 7.1
, page 20) and set a continuous recording schedule (see 7.4
, page 23).
7.1
Recording Time for Motion Detection
When a wire-free camera detects motion, the camera will stream live video and record for a set
period of time before returning to standby mode. You can choose how long each camera records
for when motion is detected.
