Before installing the camera:

• Make sure to install the camera in an area that can support
the camera’s weight.

• Decide whether to run the cables through the wall (drilling
required) or along the wall. The supplied extension cable is
rated for surface mounting only. Cables for in-wall / floor-to­floor installations are sold seperately.

To install the camera:

1. Use the included mounting template to mark holes
for the mounting screws.

Note: This camera is not intended for ceiling mounting. If you
mount the camera to a ceiling, the camera will have to point
downwards for adequate clearance.

2. Loosen the camera stand screws using the large
allen key. Adjust the stand into a straight position
and then re-tighten the camera stand screws.

Cable Extension Options

Extend the cable run for your camera up to 300ft or more depending
on the cable type used. See table below:

Option Cable Type Max Cable

Run Distance

Max # of

Extensions

1 Regular BNC

(supplied with camera)

180ft / 55m 3

2 ‘RG59’ or ‘Coax’ or ‘Coaxial

BNC’
(sold seperately)

300ft / 92m 5

3 Lorex Universal Cable

(sold seperately)

300ft / 92m 3

Notes:

1. For optimal performance, consider using option 2 or 3. It is best to use the
same cable type for the entire distance.

2. Cable run recommendation based on typical camera power consumption
(up to 500mA). For specialty cameras with higher current consumption,
maximum cable run may be reduced. Consider providing power to the
camera at the camera side, rather then at the end of the extension cable.

3. Indicators that your cable run may be too long:

• Video is permanently black & white (even during day time)

• Video is distorted

ATTENTION - Test all connections and ensure the camera is working

correctly prior to permanent installation by temporarily connecting the
camera(s) and cable(s) to the viewing / recording solution.

Problem Solution

No picture / signal •Ensure your TV is on the correct input channel.

Common terms of an input channel: INPUT, AV
CHANNEL, LINE1, LINE2, AUX.

•If your camera is connected to a
VCR / DVR, ensure it is properly connected to
your TV / Monitor.

•Ensure connections are properly connected.

•Ensure the camera power supply is plugged in.

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

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

•Slide the sunshade (bullet cameras featuring
adjustable sunshades only) forward to block
excess light.

•Move your camera to a different location.

Picture is too dark •If using during the day, the camera may not

be getting enough light. Slide the sunshade
(bullet cameras featuring adjustable
sunshades only) backwards to let in more light.

•Check the brightness and contrast settings
of the device your camera connects to (TV /
Monitor / DVR).

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
at a window. Move the camera to a different
location.

BNC connection does

•Use a BNC to RCA adapter at the end of the
extension cable.

Troubleshooting

Installing the Camera (Continued)

After mounting and connecting the camera:

4. Loosen the camera stand screws and adjust the camera
into the desired position. Re-tighten the camera stand
screws.

Tip: Have a second person verify the image on the DVR or monitor.

If running the cables along the wall:

3a. Run the cable through the cable

notch on the base of the camera.
This will keep the camera base
flush to the wall when mounted.

3b. Mount the camera to the wall using

the included mounting screws.

If running the cables through the wall:

3a. Loosen the fastening screw on the camera base

using the small allen key and rotate the camera
base counterclockwise to separate it from the
camera.

3b. Mount the camera base to the wall using the

included mounting screws.

3c. Feed the BNC / power extension cable through the

camera base. Connect video and power cables
as described in the next section ‘Connecting the
Camera’.

3d. Screw the camera clockwise onto the camera base.

Do not tighten all the way.

3e. Turn the adjustment ring on the camera stand

clockwise to tighten. Tighten the fastening screw.
