    Why is there a bright spot in the image of my Lorex Security System at night?
    • L
      lisa08Sep 3, 2025
      A bright spot in the image while viewing the camera at night occurs when a camera is pointed at a window to see outside, because the night vision LEDs produce Infrared light that reflects off the glass. If you need to look outside, install the camera outdoors, ensuring it is under shelter.

    Why is the picture white on my Lorex LW1741 Security System?
    • A
      andradejoshuaSep 5, 2025
      The picture is white because of a situation known as "washout" or "whitewash" where a strong light source is pointed at the camera lens. To resolve this, DO NOT point your camera towards a light source.
