Frequently Asked Questions - L871T8E Lorex

How to charge the battery of the L871T8E camera?

Use the included battery pack and power cable. Full charging takes 4 to 6 hours. The LED turns green when the battery is charged.

How to pair the camera with the LSHSC?

Make sure the camera is charged and turned on. On the LSHSC, go to Device Setup, select the Device icon, then follow the instructions. The camera must be nearby during pairing.

Where to place the camera for optimal motion detection?

Install it at a height of 2 to 3 m, tilted 15° to 30° downward, at a distance of 2 to 10 m from the area to monitor. Avoid obstructions like walls.

What to do if the camera does not connect to Wi-Fi?

Check that the LSHSC is connected to the network and that the camera is in range. Reduce obstacles between devices. You can also use the Ethernet connection for the LSHSC.

How to activate the Lorex voice assistant?

Make sure the LSHSC microphone is enabled. Say the wake word "Lorex" followed by a command, for example "Lorex, show all cameras!".

Can I use the camera without the LSHSC?

No, the camera requires the Lorex Smart Home Security Center (LSHSC) to operate. The LSHSC serves as the central hub.

How to clean the camera?

Use a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive chemicals or cleaners. Avoid wetting the openings.

What does the clicking sound from the camera at night mean?

It's the mechanical IR filter activating when switching to night mode. This is normal and indicates the camera is working correctly.

How to reset the camera to factory settings?

Hold down the pairing/reset button located under the camera (near the power port) until the LED flashes red.

Is the camera waterproof?

The manual does not specify a waterproof rating. For outdoor use, make sure to protect it from direct rain. The LSHSC is designed for indoor use only.

Lorex Voice Assistant

The Lorex voice assistant is a specially designed voice assistant for the LSHSC. It was developed with your privacy in mind. All voice processing is done inside the LSHSC. This means that no voice information leaves the device and makes response time quick. To enable this feature make sure that the microphone is turned ON and say the wake up word "Lorex".

A sample voice command: "Lorex, show me all cameras!"

For a sampling of the different voice commands, tap on the Voice Prompts icon on the home screen. For a full list of supported voice commands, visit the product page at lorex.com.

Note: Voice control also works in offline mode.

To optimize motion detection accuracy when mounted on a wall:

Distance Optimal accuracy for objects within 6.5-32ft (2\~10m).

Angle Angle the camera around 15^-30^ down from the level position.

Height Install the camera between 7-10ft (2\~3m) off of the ground.

Distance Optimal accuracy for objects within 6.5-32ft (2~10m). Angle Angle the camera around 15°-30° down from the level position. Height Install the camera between 7-10ft (2~3m) off of the ground. 15-30° down 7-10ft 6.5-32ft 16

Illustration of a bookshelf with three books and a mobile phone on a shelf (no text or symbols)

To optimize motion detection accuracy when placed on a shelf:

Distance Optimal accuracy for objects within 5-32ft (1.5\~10m).

Angle Make sure the flat surface/shelf is not obstructing the camera's field of view.

Height Place the camera between 4.5-6.5ft (1.4\~2m) off of the ground.

Note: Accuracy of person detection will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the person's distance from the camera, the height of the person, and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also impact the accuracy and distance of detection.

Camera Mounting

Camera Mounting bracket Adjustable nut Screws UP Mounting plate Anchors (Optional) TOP Mounting surface Mounting template

To mount the camera:

1. Place the mounting template to the desired location.

Optional: Drill 7/32" (5.5mm) holes for the anchors.

1. Align the arrows of the mounting plate and template. Using a Philips screwdriver and the provided screws, secure the mounting plate to the surface.

1. Align the arrows between the mounting bracket and plate. Push the bracket in to install, then slide down to lock in place. You will hear a 'click' when the bracket is installed.
2. Attach the camera to the mounting bracket using the thread insert at the rear of the camera. Rotate the camera clockwise until attached, then tighten into place with the adjustable nut.
