Camera Installation
Camera Installation
Before you install a camera*, carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the DVR.
Installation Warnings
Select a location for the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source or direct sunlight.
Plan the cables’ route so that it is not close to power or telephone lines, transformers, microwave ovens or other electrical equipment that could interfere with the DVR.
Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature between 14°F~113°F (-10°C~45°C)
If you plan to install the camera in a location that has conditions not recommended in this manual, consult with a professional installer and consider use of a separate camera cover or housing
Before starting permanent installation, have another person hold the camera for you while you verify its performance by observing the image on a monitor.
Camera Stand Installation
1. Attach the pedestal to the ceiling, wall or other surface by the base using the provided screws.
2. The mounting bracket must be attached to a structural device such as a wall stud or ceiling rafter using the supplied screws.
3. Attach the camera to the pedestal. Adjust the angle of the camera, and tighten the thumbscrew to set the position
Note: The camera can be attached to the stand using the screw point on the top or the bottom (to maintain proper camera alignment). This prevents the image from becoming inverted.
* Camera may not be exactly as shown

HDD Management
Format the hard disk, view HDD info, and set disk Overwrite on and off.
HDD SETUP
Use Clear HDD to format the hard disk. This erases all recorded video data from the hard disk. By default, the system comes with a pre-formatted hard disk.
ATTENTION: Only format the hard disk if
absolutely necessary. All the recorded data on your hard drive will be lost. You cannot undo this step.
OVERWRITE
Overwrite determines how data is maintained when the hard disk is full.
With Overwrite turned on, data is overwritten once the hard disk is full, starting with the oldest recording.
If Overwrite is turned off, the system stops recording once the hard disk is full; recording stops and the Buzzer activates. The Overwrite Icon appears in place of the
hard drive percentage icon.
Note: Use the hard drive percentage icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen to keep track of the space remaining on your system’s hard disk.

How do I enable Port Forwarding?
You need to enable port forwarding on your router to allow for external communications with your system for the following port:
PORT 5000
Computers, DVRs, and other devices inside your network can only communicate directly with each other within the internal network. Computers and systems outside your network cannot directly communicate with these devices. When a system on the internal network needs to send or receive information from a system outside the network (i.e. from the Internet), the information is sent to the router.
NETWORK EXAMPLE
Router
Internal IP
192.168.0.1
Router Internal IP
192.168.0.1
PC Internal IP
192.168.0.102
INTERNET
INTERNAL NETWORK
SYSTEM
Internal IP
192.168.0.103
When a computer on the Internet needs to send data to your internal network, it sends this data to the external IP address of the router. The router then needs to decide where to send this data. This is where setting up Port Forwarding becomes important.
Port Forwarding tells the router to which device on the internal network to send the data. When you set up port forwarding on your router, it takes the data from the external IP address:port number and sends that data to an internal IP address:port number (i.e. Router External IP
216.13.154.34:6100 to DVR Internal IP 192.168.0.103:5000).
The instructions found online in the Router Configuration Guides will assist you in the port forwarding configurations for a selection of different router models. Visit our Consumer Guides Support website at http://www.lorexcctv.com/support

Setting up the Lorex Client
You must setup and configure Lorex Client in order to use the Remote Viewing function of the software. Use Client Setup to register your system’s DDNS URL or IP address (LAN connection).
If you are connecting from within your network (i.e. the System and PC are both inside your house), you only need to enter the IP Address of your system when configuring the Client software. If you are connecting from outside your network (i.e. the System is at home and your PC is at work), use the DDNS domain name to configure the software.
We recommend that you complete the free Lorex DDNS Network Setup prior to using the Lorex Client. See Appendix C for more details.
To setup the Lorex Client:
1. Open Lorex Client.
2. From the Lorex Client main window, click CLIENT SETUP in the top-left corner.
3. From the Client Setup window, click REGISTER SITE. A new window opens for you to input your network information.
4. Under IP Setup, enter your system’s DDNS URL or IP address; enter 5000 in the Port field. In the Location field, enter a name for the location of your system (i.e. Home, Office).
5. Under Login, enter the User ID (by default, admin) and Password (by default, leave the password field blank) for your system and click OK (see Figure 3.0).
6. In the main Site Setup window, select the newly added site and click OK.

Configuring Remote Viewer
You can adjust the bit-rate, frame rate, and audio of the data stream between the Remote System and your PC.
From the Remote Viewer window, click SETUP.
Stream
Click the 128K, 256K, or 512K radio buttons. The higher bit­rate results in a higher quality image but uses more bandwidth. Adjust the bit-rate depending on your PC and network connection. You can also customize the data stream according to Quality and Frames-per-Second. See Figure 6.
Click the CUSTOMIZE radio button, and configure QUALITY and FRAME RATE:
QUALITY: NORMAL, ENHANCED, FINE, or
SUPER FINE. Adjust the image resolution to best fit your recording environment and network speed.
FRAME RATE: 3, 5, 10, 15, 30. Typically, a higher frame
rate should result in a smoother image, however, due to H.264 compression and bandwidth constraints, we recommend setting the frame rate from 10~15 FPS for high quality network viewing.
Two-Way Audio
Select LIVE/PLAY SOUND to turn audio on the Remote Viewer on/off.
With Audio on, you can select the audio channel from the Remote System for listening.*
Click SAVE to save your changes. The Client writes the changes to the system.
