Problem Solution

No picture / signal • The cameras are only compatible with

certain Lorex HD DVRs. For the full list of
compatible recorders, visit

lorextechnology.com/compatibility

• Ensure your TV or monitor is on the correct
input channel. Common terms for input
channels: INPUT, AV CHANNEL, LINE1,
LINE2, AUX.

• Ensure your DVR is properly connected to
your TV or 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).

• Check the brightness settings of the DVR
and monitor.

• Move your camera to a different location.

Picture is too dark • Check the brightness and contrast settings

of the DVR and monitor.

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. 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’.

Bright spot in video when
viewing camera at night

• Night vision reflects when pointing a
camera through a window. Move the camera
to a different location.

Troubleshooting

A. ROTATING THE ARM: Rotate the camera stand up to 360°.

B. BENDING THE ARM: Bend the arm of the camera up to 90°.

C. LEVELING THE CAMERA: Rotate the camera until it is level with

the viewing area, then tighten the adjustment screw.

ATTENTION:

Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by
temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your DVR.

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 surface when mounted.

ATTENTION:

This camera includes an Auto Mechanical IR Cut Filter. When the camera
changes between Day/Night viewing modes, an audible clicking noise may
be heard from the camera. This clicking is normal, and indicates that the
camera filter is working.

Connect the female power
head to the included power
adapter.

NOTES:

1. The extension cable must be a single stretch of cable between the
DVR and camera. You cannot connect multiple extension cables to
each other.

2. For cable runs above 300ft (91m), you must connect the power
adapter directly to the camera, rather than at the end of the
extension cable.

3. If using a balun, ensure it is rated for the maximum supported
resolution of the camera (e.g., a 4MP camera requires a balun rated
for 4MP or above).

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

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

• Video is unclear, soft, or distorted.

5. For more information on extension cables, visit lorextechnology.com.

adjustment screw.
