Installation Tips

• See images to the right

for ideal setup. It is

recommended to place
your camera at least 6ft
(2m) above the ground and
angle it slightly downward
toward the monitoring area,
excluding any busy areas
(e.g., sidewalks or roadways).

• Ensure the camera image
is free of obstructions (i.e.,
tree branches).

• Position the camera no more
than 20ft (6m) away from
the area you wish to monitor.

• For best performance,
position the camera so that objects of interest will move
from side-to-side across the camera image, rather than
moving towards or away from the camera.

• Install the camera within range of the wireless receiver
(noted in the camera’s specifications).

• This camera is weather resistant for outdoor use (IP65
rated). Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.

• Battery life will vary based on temperature, settings and
number of events.

The wire-free cameras use a Passive InfraRed (PIR)
sensor to ensure video is only recorded when motion
is detected. Follow the tips below for more accurate
motion detection and to optimize battery life:

To install the camera:

1. Set the mounting bracket in the
desired mounting position. Mark holes
through the mounting bracket (shown
as orange X’s on the right).

2. Drill holes where marked for the
mounting screws.

3. Insert the included mounting screws
(×3) into the 3 holes closest to the
top of the mounting bracket.

Make sure all screws
are fastened tightly.

NOTES:

• Insert the included drywall anchors if you
are mounting the camera onto drywall.

• The hole at the bottom of the mounting bracket
will be used in step 5, once the camera is attached
to the mounting plate.

5. Insert the security screw
through the fastener on
the camera base to
secure the camera
to the mounting
bracket.
Tighten using the
included Allen key.

6. Insert the included power pack
into the bottom of the camera
base. Push up until the power

pack ‘clicks’ into place.

7. OPTIONAL: Lift up the
rubber seal on the right-side
release button. Insert the
locking screw and tighten
using the included Allen key
to secure the power pack in

place.

NOTE: You will need to loosen the

locking screw to remove the power pack in the future.

8. Twist the adjustment
ring near the camera
base counterclockwise to
loosen and reposition the
camera. Hold the camera
in the desired angle and
tighten the adjustment ring
completely to secure the
camera in place.

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.

ATTENTION:

It is recommended to test the camera and power pack prior to
selecting a permanent mounting location by inserting the power pack,
pairing the camera to your wire-free system and streaming live video
on the Lorex Secure App.

IMPORTANT: To complete the pairing process using the Lorex

Secure App, you must be logged in to the app with the admin
account, and your DVR must be turned on.

IMPORTANT: Remove the power pack

from the camera prior to installation
by pushing both release buttons*, then
pulling down on the power pack.

ATTENTION: Place your hand underneath

the power pack when removing to
prevent it from falling.
