Lorex cameras are great for keeping your home safe. They help you see what is happening outside your home. Sometimes, you may need to change the sensitivity of your Lorex camera. This helps the camera detect movement better. In this article, we will explain how to do that step by step.
What is Camera Sensitivity?
Sensitivity in a camera means how well it detects movement. If the sensitivity is high, the camera will notice even small movements. If it is low, it will only see big movements. Adjusting this can help you get better video quality. It can also reduce false alarms.
Why Adjust Sensitivity?
There are many reasons to adjust the sensitivity of your Lorex camera:
- You may want to avoid false alarms.
- Some areas may have too much movement.
- Different times of the day may need different settings.
- You want to focus on specific areas.
