The system supports detection of people and vehicles with compatible IP cameras only. This helps deliver more relevant notifications
when using the Lorex Home app for remote viewing. You can also link white light deterrence to person and/or vehicle detection on compatible Lorex deterrence
cameras for an added level of smart security.
14.1 Ensuring Accurate Person & Vehicle Detection
The following are important camera installation notes to ensure accurate Person & Vehicle detection. Refer to the documentation
that came with your camera or search for your camera model number at lorex.com for full mounting instructions.
Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 50ft (~15m) from the camera.
Angle the camera so that objects of interest appear in the bottom ⅔ of the camera image.
Angle the camera between 30~60° down from the level position.
Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5-5m) off of the ground.
Note
Accuracy of Person & Vehicle detection will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the object’s distance from the camera,
the size of the object, and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also impact the accuracy of detection.
