CVBS OUT (Optional Secondary Output)

The yellow CVBS OUT connector provides a secondary analog
output for the camera. It is not compatible with HD-SDI
DVRs.
It can be used to connect the camera to a secondary CCTV monitor
or non-HD-SDI DVR via BNC or to a TV using an RCA to BNC
adapter (Lorex model # BNCB). Output from the CVBS connector is
not in HD.
Example scenarios using the CVBS OUT connector:

• Secondary BNC monitor to test camera image during installation.

• Secondary TV or CCTV monitor used as a public display monitor.

• Secondary non-HD-SDI DVR used as a backup recorder.

Before installing the camera:

• Decide whether to run the
cables through the wall /
ceiling (drilling required) or
along the wall / celing.

• 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 Connecting the Camera Cable Extension Options

Please use the included extension cables, or visit
www.lorextechnology.com for compatible RG59
extension cables. Regular BNC extension cables are not

compatible with this camera.

Compatible Cable Types:

Specification Maximum Length

Lorex MCBL-200RG59—200’ high performance RG59/Power
cable

200ft / 60m
(actual length)

Lorex MCBL-300RG59—300’ high performance RG59/Power
cable

300ft / 92m

Siamese—20 AWG Conductor 95% Braid (video) with 2C/18 for
power CSA/UL or C(UL) approved

300ft / 92m

The entire length of the extension cable must be made using a single
extension cable between the camera and DVR. It is not possible to
connect multiple extension cables together.

Notes:

1. Consider providing power to the camera at the camera side, rather than at
the end of the extension cable.

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

• No video is received from the camera

• Video quality or resolution is lower than normal

• Video is distorted

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.

Problem Solution

No picture / signal •Incorrect camera output connected to extension cable.

Connect the black HD-SDI OUT connector to the
extension cable.

•There is an issue with the extension cable run. For
example, the cable may be too long, may not be
compatible with the camera, or multiple cables may be
connected together. See ‘Cable Extension Options’ for
more information.

•Ensure your DVR 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 / Monitor / 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 •Check the camera lens for dirt, dust, spiderwebs.

or ceiling.

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 black
HD-SDI OUT video cable according to the
section ‘Connecting the Camera.’

3. Mount the camera to the wall or ceiling using
the included mounting screws.

4. Loosen the camera stand screws using the
included allen key. Loosen the adjustment
ring.
