Important Safeguards
In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacturing process of your product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. However,
safety is your responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to ensure your enjoyment and proper use of the product and accessory equipment. Please read
them carefully before operating and using your product.
1.1 General Precautions
1. All warnings and instructions in this manual should be followed.
2. Remove the plug from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid aerosol detergents.
Use a water-dampened cloth for cleaning.
3. Do not use this product in humid or wet places.
4. Keep enough space around the product for ventilation. Slots and openings in the storage cabinet should not be blocked.
5. It is highly recommended to connect the product to a surge protector to protect from
damage caused by electrical surges. It is also recommended to connect the product to
an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which has an internal battery that will keep the
product running in the event of a power outage.
CAUTION
Maintain electrical safety. Power line operated equipment or accessories connected to this product
should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not be modified so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from electrical shock or
fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.
1.2 Installation
1. Read and Follow Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be
read before the product is operated. Follow all operating instructions.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings on the product and in the operating
instructions.
4. Polarization - Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug.
A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet.

Important Safeguards
5. Power Sources - This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
location, consult your video dealer or local power company. For products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in the
risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power
cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They
may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service
technician.
7. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the product.
8. Surge Protectors - It is highly recommended that the product be connected to a
surge protector. Doing so will protect the product from damage caused by power
surges. Surge protectors should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.
9. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) - Because this product is designed for continuous, 24/7 operation, it is recommended that you connect the product to an uninterruptible power supply. An uninterruptible power supply has an internal battery that will
keep the product running in the event of a power outage. Uninterruptible power supplies should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.
10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must
not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the
product manufacturer’s instructions have been followed.
11. Attachments - Do not use attachments unless recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause a hazard.
12. Water and Moisture - Do not use this product near water — for example, near a bath
tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool
and the like.
13. Heat - The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
14. Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table.
The product may fall, causing serious damage to the product. Use this product only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold
with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
15. Camera Extension Cables – Check the rating of your extension cable(s) to verify
compliance with your local authority regulations prior to installation.
16. Mounting - The cameras provided with this system should be mounted only as instructed in this guide or the instructions that came with your cameras, using the provided mounting brackets.

Important Safeguards
17. Camera Installation - Cameras are not intended for submersion in water. Not all cameras can be installed outdoors. Check your camera environmental rating to confirm if
they can be installed outdoors. When installing cameras outdoors, installation in a
sheltered area is required.
1.3 Service
1. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
2. Conditions Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Ad-
just only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance. This indicates a need
for service.
3. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify that the replacements used have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use of replacements specified by the product manufacturer can prevent fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks recommended by the manufacturer to determine that the product is in safe operating condition.
1.4 Use
1. Cleaning - Unplug the product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
2. Product and Cart Combination - When product is installed on a cart, product and
cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
3. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or “short-out” parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
4. Lightning - For added protection of this product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due

6.11 Connecting Cameras
6.11.1 About Lorex HD Wired Cameras
Lorex HD wired cameras transmit high-definition video over BNC cable (such as RG59).
They use analog signals and can transmit video signals over long cable runs.
Lorex HD wired cameras use a proprietary analog standard that only works with Lorex HD
wired DVRs. HD wired cameras and HD wired DVRs are not compatible with older analog
or HD-SDI equipment.
6.11.2 Installing Cameras
CAUTION
Cameras differ in terms of installation or mounting instructions. Please see the documentation that came
with your camera(s) for specific installation instructions.
Installation Tips
• Test the cameras before permanent installation. Plan where you will route the wiring for
the camera and where you will aim the camera.
• Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines or telephone lines.
• Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible, but out of reach.
• Avoid pointing the camera at a glass window to see outside. This may result in a bright
white ring in the night vision image, as the light from the night vision LEDs may reflect
off the glass.
• Adjust the camera angle so that it covers an area with high traffic.
• In "high-risk" locations, have multiple cameras point in the same area. This provides
camera redundancy if a vandal attempts to damage the camera.
To install the cameras:
1. Mount the camera(s) to the desired mounting surface according to the instructions that
came with the camera(s). Choose a firm mounting surface.
Note
If you wish to mount cameras to drywall, it is recommended to use drywall anchors (not included).
