To install your cameras:

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 using
the included drill bit (item C in toolkit).

3. Secure the bracket to the mounting surface
with the included mounting screws (×4). Make
sure all screws are fastened tightly using the
included screwdriver (item A+B in toolkit).

NOTES:

• Insert the included drywall anchors if you are

mounting the camera onto drywall.

• The hole at the top of the mounting bracket

will be used in step 5, once the camera is attached

4. Lower the camera base onto
the mounting bracket so the 2
tabs in the mounting bracket
lock into the 2 slots in the
camera base.

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.

STEP 4: Installing the Cameras

Follow the instructions below to mount the cameras. It is recommended that
you refer to the “Installation Tips” section to help you select good mounting
locations.

5. Insert the security screw
through the fasteners on the
top of the camera base and
mounting bracket to secure
the camera to the mounting
bracket. Tighten using the
included screwdriver (item A+B
in toolkit).

6. OPTIONAL: Tighten the pre-installed locking
screw on the base of the Power Pack using the
included screwdriver (item A+B in toolkit).

Installation Tips

• See images to the right for ideal setup. It is recommended

to place your camera at least 7ft (2.1m) 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 (6.1m) away from

the area you wish to monitor.

• See the “Optimizing Motion Detection” section to customize

motion settings for each camera on your system.

• Ensure you have configured the active area for motion

detection so that only areas of interest are selected. See
the “Optimizing Motion Detection” section for details.

• 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 recorder (noted in the

camera’s specifications).

• This camera is weather resistant for outdoor use (IP66

Follow the tips below for more accurate motion detection and to optimize battery life:

Pairing the Camera

Your cameras should be paired to the recorder and ready to use out of the
package. If a camera becomes unpaired, or if you have purchased a wire-free
add-on camera (max. 6 cameras per system), follow the instructions below.

Problem Solution

No picture / signal • Ensure the camera is connected to a compatible recorder. For full camera compatibility,

visit lorex.com/compatibility.

• Ensure the Power Pack is properly inserted into the camera base.

• Ensure you have removed the PLEASE REMOVE label from the Power Pack.

• Connect the power adapter to your Power Pack to ensure it is charged. The LED on the
Power Pack glows green for full charge, or red for less than full charge.

• Remove obstructions between the recorder and camera. Materials such as brick,
concrete and wood can significantly impact the wireless signal strength.

• Try repositioning the camera, recorder, or both to improve the reception.

Battery life is too
short

• Ensure the camera is not pointing at a high-traffic area. Position the camera so it only
captures areas of interest with no high-traffic areas (e.g., a busy sidewalk or roadway)
visible in the image.

• Live video is being viewed too frequently. Viewing live video often will impact battery
performance.

• Ensure you have set an active area and distance setting for motion detection to reduce
false alarms. See “Optimizing Motion Detection” for details.

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

Picture is dropping • Move the camera closer to the recorder.

• Try repositioning the camera, recorder, or both to improve the reception.

Picture is or has
become choppy

• Change camera resolution to 720p using the Lorex Cirrus app or the recorder to increase
the frame rate.

• Move the camera closer to the recorder.

• Remove obstructions between the recorder and camera.

Camera is not
detecting motion

• Your camera may be too far away from the area of interest. Try to keep the camera within
20ft (6.1m) of the area you want to monitor.

• Review the “Installation Tips” and “Optimizing Motion Detection” sections to ensure your
camera is installed in an optimal location and motion detection is properly configured.

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.

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.

• Too much environmental interference will affect picture clarity. Move your camera to a
different location.

Bright spot in video
when viewing at night

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

4. Configure the following as needed:

a. Sensitivity: The amount of motion needed

to trigger recording (e.g., higher sensitivity
requires less motion to trigger recording).

b. Area Selection: Set the active area for

motion detection. Video appears with a red
grid overlayed, meaning the whole image is
active. Tap red squares to disable motion
detection in those areas (see example image
to the right). Tap Save when finished.

TIP: Disable areas that will trigger unwanted

motion events, like busy streets or trees and shrubs that will move in the wind.

c. Distance Setting: Configure distance setting for motion detection. While watching

the camera’s video on your mobile device, recreate a motion event in front of your
camera. The icon will change from to when motion is detected by the camera.
Change the distance setting if motion detection is being triggered by unwanted
events.

NOTE: Distance will be affected by temperature.

d. Buzzer: Set the recorder to sound an alarm when motion is detected.
