Connecting the Cameras

• You can use a RJ45 coupler or switch (not included) to connect male
ends of Ethernet cable together.

• To extend the cable run beyond 300ft (92m), a switch will be required
(sold separately).

To install your camera:

1. Set the camera in the desired mounting position and mark
holes for screws through the camera base.

2. Drill the holes, then feed the cable through the mounting
surface or cable notch.

NOTE: Insert the included drywall anchors if you are

mounting the camera onto drywall.

3. Mount the camera stand to the mounting surface using
the provided screws. Make sure all screws are fastened
tightly.

4. Adjust the camera as shown below:

Problem Solution

No picture / signal • Ensure the camera is connected to a compatible

NVR. For full camera compatibility, visit

lorextechnology.com/compatibility.

• The camera may take up to 1 minute to power
up after being connected to the NVR. Wait two
minutes before following the steps below.

• Ensure the camera is connected to your NVR or
to your local network.

• If you are not using PoE, you must connect
the camera to a 12V DC power adapter (not
included).

• If the camera is connected to the LAN, you must
search your network for cameras using the NVR.
See the NVR’s instruction manual.

• Ensure your NVR is properly connected to a TV/
monitor.

• There may be an issue with your extension cable
run. Connect the camera to the NVR using a
different Ethernet cable.

Picture is too bright • Ensure your camera isn’t pointed directly at a

source of light (e.g., sun or spot light).

• Move your camera to a different location.

• Check the brightness and contrast settings on
the NVR.

Picture is too dark • Check the brightness and contrast settings on

the NVR.

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.

Picture is in color in
dark conditions

• This camera comes with an image sensor that is
extra sensitive to light, meaning that the camera
stays in color mode at low-light conditions. For
instructions on how to make your camera switch
to night mode, visit lorextechnology.com, and
search for “How do I make my camera switch to
night mode?”

Troubleshooting

A. ROTATING THE ARM: Use the included Allen key to loosen the

adjustment screw closest to the camera base. Rotate the arm of the
camera as needed, then tighten the screw.

B. BENDING THE ARM: Use the Allen key to loosen the middle
adjustment screw. Bend the arm of the camera up to 90°, then
tighten the screw.

C. LEVELING THE CAMERA: Use the Allen key to loosen the
adjustment screw furthest from the camera base. Rotate the camera
until it is level with the viewing area, then tighten the screw.

ATTENTION:

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

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 other end of the
Ethernet cable to a router or
switch on your network. See
your NVR manual for details on
connecting the camera to your
NVR using a switch or router.
