Installing the Camera

ATTENTION - Test all connections and ensure the camera is working

correctly prior to permanent installation by temporarily connecting the
camera(s) and cable(s) to the viewing / recording solution.

Before installing the camera:

• Make sure to install the camera in an area that can support
the camera’s weight.

• Decide whether to run the cables through the wall (drilling
required) or along the wall. The supplied extension cable is
rated for surface mounting only. Cables for in-wall / floor-to­floor installations are sold seperately.

To install the camera:

1. Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the
mounting screws.

Note: This camera is not intended for ceiling mounting. If you
mount the camera to a ceiling, the camera will have to point
downwards for adequate clearance.

2. Loosen the camera stand screws using the large allen key.
Adjust the stand into a straight position and then re-tighten
the camera stand screws.

If running the cables along the wall:

3a. Run the cable through the cable notch

on the base of the camera. This will
keep the camera base flush to the wall
when mounted.

3b. Mount the camera to the wall using the

included mounting screws.

If running the cables through the wall:

3a. Loosen the fastening screw on the camera base

using the small allen key and rotate the camera base
counterclockwise to separate it from the camera.

3b. Mount the camera base to the wall using the included

mounting screws.

3c. Feed the BNC / power extension cable through the

camera base. Connect video and power cables as
described in the next section ‘Connecting the Camera’.

3d. Screw the camera clockwise onto the camera base. Do

not tighten all the way.

3e. Turn the adjustment ring on the camera stand clockwise to

tighten. Tighten the fastening screw.

After mounting and connecting the camera:

4. Loosen the camera stand screws and adjust the camera
into the desired position. Re-tighten the camera stand
screws.

Tip: Have a second person verify the image on the DVR or
monitor.

Cable Extension Options

Extend the cable run for your camera up to 300ft or more depending
on the cable type used. See table below:

Option Cable Type Max Cable

Run Distance

1 Regular BNC

(supplied with camera)

2 ‘RG59’ or ‘Coax’ or ‘Coaxial

BNC’

3 Lorex Universal Cable

Max # of

Extensions

Notes:

1. For optimal performance, consider using option 2 or 3. It is best to use the
same cable type for the entire distance.

2. Cable run recommendation based on typical camera power consumption
(up to 500mA). For specialty cameras with higher current consumption,
maximum cable run may be reduced. Consider providing power to the
camera at the camera side, rather then at the end of the extension cable.

3. Indicators that your cable run may be too long:

• Video is permanently black & white (even during day time)

• Video is distorted
