Connecting the Camera
NOTE
It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the Pan-Tilt controls before
permanent installation. For instructions on how to setup Pan-Tilt controls, see 6 Controlling
the PT Camera with an NVR, page 21.
4.1 OPTION 1: Connecting Cameras to an NVR
1. Connect the Ethernet connector on the camera cable to the included
Ethernet extension cable.
2. Connect the Ethernet extension cable to one of the PoE ports on the back
panel of your NVR.
NOTE
• You can use a single CAT5e Ethernet cable up to 300ft (91m) to connect the camera to
your NVR.
• The camera is compatible with Lorex NVRs only. For a full list of compatible recorders,
visit www.lorextechnology.com/compatibility.
4.2 OPTION 2: Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)
For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to
the same router as the NVR. For these installations, an external PoE switch
(sold separately) or power adapter (not included) must be used to provide
power to the camera. You also must add the camera on the NVR before it will
show a picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
What is PoE?
#LX400043; r. 2.0/40122/40365; en-US

Connecting the Camera
PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a technology that allows Ethernet cables to carry
electrical power to connected devices. Compatible NVRs use integrated PoE
ports to provide power and Pan-Tilt commands to the camera, as well as video connection to the NVR. In order to use PoE with this IP camera, you must
connect it directly to a compatible NVR (visit
www.lorextechnology.com/compatibility for full compatibility details) or a PoE
switch on the same network as the NVR.
PoE switches are available for purchase on www.lorextechnology.com.
Complete the following steps to connect the camera to the NVR over the LAN.
Step 1 of 2 — OPTION A: Connecting the camera to your local network
using an optional PoE switch:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable of up to 300ft (91m) rated CAT5e or higher
(not included) from the LAN port on an external PoE switch (sold separately on www.lorextechnology.com) to your router. Connect the power ca-
ble to the PoE switch and to a power outlet or surge protector.
NOTE
Terminology may vary depending on the model of PoE switch you have.

Connecting the Camera
2. Connect the camera to the PoE switch using the included Ethernet cable
(or a CAT5e Ethernet cable of up to 300ft (91m)). The PoE switch will provide power and video transmission the same way as your NVR.
Step 1 of 2 — OPTION B: Connecting the camera to your local network
using a power adapter (not included):
1. Connect the camera to a 12V DC power adapter (sold separately on
www.lorextechnology.com — model #: CVA4902).
2. Connect the camera to a router in the same network as your NVR using
the included Ethernet cable (or an Ethernet cable of up to 300ft (91m)
rated CAT5e or higher).
Step 2 of 2: Add the camera to your NVR:
CAUTION
The following instructions are based on the Lorex LNR400 Series NVR. See your NVR’s instruction manual for instructions on controlling the PTcamera with your system.
1. Right-click and select Device Search .
2. Log in using the admin account (default User Name: admin; default Password: 000000).

Installation
5.1 Installation Tips and Warnings
• Camera is rated for outdoor use. It is recommended to install the camera in
a sheltered area, such as under the eaves on a roof.
• Use the included wall mounting bracket for wall installation. Otherwise, the
camera image will be sideways.
• Camera is capable of seeing in low light conditions (0.1 Lux), but it cannot
see in total darkness. It is recommended to install the camera where there
is some ambient light (for example, street lighting or starlight, moonlight,
etc.) or leave some lighting on in the area where the camera is installed.
• Mount the camera in a location that can support the camera weight.
• 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 tele-
phone lines.
• Ensure you adhere to local building codes.
• Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible but out of reach.
5.2 Installation (Indoor/Outdoor)
The camera includes all necessary components for ceiling mounting and wall
mounting. For full instructions on each type of mounting, see 5.2.2 Ceiling
Mounting, page 17 or 5.2.1 Wall Mounting, page 9.
