*** Only included in single camera configurations.

Cable Notch

Camera Base

Attach a BNC to RCA adapter** (optional, Lorex model #
BNCB) to connect the extension cable to RCA inputs (i.e. for a TV
connection).

** Only included with single-camera configurations.

BNC to RCA Adapter (Optional)

To Camera: To Monitor/DVR:

Male Power

BNC

Connect the BNC and power
connectors to the camera

Female Power

Connect the BNC connector to
the video input of the monitor /
DVR, and connect the included
power connector to a power
adapter. See Setup Diagram
below for details.

Setup Diagram

Before installing the camera:

• Decide whether to run the
cables through the wall /
ceiling (drilling required)
or along the wall / celing.

• 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 wall / ceiling when mounted.

To install the camera:

1. Rotate the camera base counterclockwise to
separate it from the ball camera and dome
cover.

2. Feed the BNC / power cable through the
camera base. If you are running the cables
against a wall or ceiling, make sure to pass
the cable through the cable notch as shown
above.

3. Connect the video and power cable as
shown in the next section ‘Connecting The
Camera‘.

4. Mount the camera base to the wall or ceiling
using the included screws.

5. Position the dome cover over the camera and
screw it clockwise halfway onto the camera
base.

6. Move the ball camera to the desired position.
While holding the ball camera firmly in
place, screw the dome cover the rest of the
way to secure it to the camera base. Holding
the camera prevents it from moving while
installing the dome cover.

Installing the Camera Connecting the Camera 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.

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 featureing 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

* A “4-in-1” Power Adapter that provides power to four cameras may be substituted for four
