Before installing the camera:
• Decide whether to run the cables through the wall / ceiling (drilling required) or along the wall / ceiling.
• If you run the cables along the wall / ceiling, you must run the cable through the cable notch on the base. This will keep the camera base flush to the wall / ceiling when mounted.
Installing the Camera
To install the camera:
1. Use the included mounting template to drill holes in the mounting surface.
2. If you are running the cables along the wall / ceiling, run the cable through the cable notch on the base. If you are running the cables through the wall, connect the power and video cables according to the section `Connecting the Camera.’
3. Mount the camera to the wall or ceiling using the included mounting screws. Ensure all screws are firmly attached.
4. Loosen the camera stand screws using the included Allen key. Loosen the adjustment ring.
5. Move the camera to the desired position, and while holding it firmly in place, turn the adjustment ring on the camera stand clockwise to tighten. Tighten the camera stand screws.

Problem Solution
No picture / signal •Ensure your TV is on the correct input channel.

•If your camera is connected to a VCR / DVR, ensure it is properly connected to your TV / Monitor.
•Ensure connections are properly connected.
•Ensure the camera power supply is plugged in.
Picture is too bright •Ensure your camera isn’t pointed directly at a
source of light (e.g. sun or spot light).
•Slide the sunshade (bullet cameras featuring adjustable sunshades only) forward to block excess light.
•Move your camera to a different location.
Picture is too dark •If using during the day, the camera may not be
getting enough light. Slide the sunshade (bullet cameras featuring adjustable sunshades only) backwards to let in more light.
•Check the brightness and contrast settings of the device your camera connects to (TV / DVR).
Night vision is not working
•The night vision activates when light levels drop. The area may have too much light.
Picture is not clear •Use the Zoom and Focus knobs to adjust the
camera image.
•Check the camera lens for dirt, dust, spiderwebs. Clean the lens with a soft, clean cloth.
•Make sure that the cable run is within the limitations specified in the section ‘Cable Extension Options’.

Troubleshooting
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
Max # of
Extensions
1 Regular BNC
(sold seperately)
180ft / 55m 3
2 ‘RG59’ or ‘Coax’ or
‘Coaxial BNC’ (sold seperately)
300ft / 92m 5
3 Lorex Universal Cable
(sold seperately)
300ft / 92m 3
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
