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.

Troubleshooting
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
(sold seperately)
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
