Q: QuestionDoes this camera pan and tilt automatically upon detection?

Asked 5 months ago by PKHUNT.

• A:Answer The Auto-Tracking feature in the camera automatically follows and records moving objects in its view. When motion is detected, the top camera pans and tilts to keep the object centered, ensuring you capture all activity. However, if more than one object is present, the auto-tracking feature will not activate, as it is designed to focus on one object at a time. This feature is ideal for monitoring large areas and can be easily enabled in the Lorex app.

Q: QuestionDo I have to plug it in a outlet I need one that don’t use electricity

Asked 3 months ago by Sukie.

• A:Answer The lightbulb camera is installed directly into the light bulb socket, and the light switch needs to stay on at all times to power the camera. The camera's LED light is controlled separately via the Lorex app. If you are looking for a camera that does not use electricity, you can consider a battery-powered camera such as F861 Lorex 4K Spotlight Battery Wi-Fi Security Camera.
