Below will go into more detail on different lights for the Lorex cameras and how to turn them off.
1. Turning Off Camera LED Lights

2. Disabling Deterrence Lights
Historically, security cameras’ primary purpose was to record evidence of an unfortunate occurrence. Just by having a security camera in place, you have a deterrent. With advanced technology, this is no longer the case. Lorex has active floodlight security cameras with white lights and a loud siren. These features work exceptionally well in stopping people in their tracks. (1)
