Turning off indoor cameras

Lorex indoor wireless cameras are easy to set up and provide remote viewing to help monitor your home, pets, and loved ones from anywhere. However, there may be times when you need to turn off your indoor cameras, such as when you want to protect your privacy or conserve battery life. Here's a detailed guide on how to turn off your Lorex indoor wireless cameras:

Step 1: Understand the Basics

Before turning off your Lorex indoor wireless camera, it's important to know some basic information about your device. Firstly, Lorex wireless cameras do not have an internal battery and must be plugged into a power source using the provided power adapter. This is an important consideration, as simply unplugging the camera will turn it off but may not be a feasible option if you need to maintain power outlet access.

Step 2: Access the Camera Settings

To turn off your indoor Lorex wireless camera, you will need to access the camera settings. This can be done through the Lorex App, which is available for download on smartphones and tablets. Launch the app and locate the specific camera you want to turn off by tapping on "Cameras" within the app.

Step 3: Locate the Power Controls

Once you have accessed the settings for your indoor camera, you will need to locate the power controls. This may be in the form of a power button or a toggle switch within the settings menu. Depending on your camera model, you may also need to enter a password to access the power controls or perform a complete shutdown.

Step 4: Turn Off the Camera

After locating the power controls, you can turn off your indoor Lorex wireless camera. Simply adjust the power settings to the "off" position or tap the power button to turn off the camera. If your camera has an LED status light, you should see it turn off or change colour to indicate that the camera is no longer recording.

Step 5: Confirm the Camera is Off

Finally, it's important to confirm that your indoor Lorex wireless camera has been successfully turned off. Check for any status indicators on the camera itself, such as a flashing LED light, or attempt to access the camera feed through the Lorex App to ensure it is no longer active.

By following these steps, you can effectively turn off your Lorex indoor wireless cameras. Remember to consider your specific camera model and follow any additional instructions provided by the manufacturer for a safe and proper shutdown.
