2 LNZ3522B Features
Note
1. Compatible with Lorex HD NVR LNR100 & LNR400 Series
only.
2. This camera features an ultra-low light sensitive image sensor
and therefore does not feature Infra-Red LEDs. The camera
requires ambient lighting (for example, street/building lighting,
star or moon light) to render a night time image. In total dark-
ness (zero Lux) the camera will not produce a night time im-
age and therefore the camera should not be installed in areas
with complete darkness.
3. Not intended for submersion in water. Installation in a shel-
tered location recommended.

5 Connecting the Camera
Note
It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test
the Pan-Tilt controls before permanent installation. For instructions
on how to setup Pan-Tilt controls, see 7 Controlling the PT Cam-
era with an NVR, page 17.
5.1 OPTION 1: Connecting Cameras to an NVR
1. Connect the Ethernet connector on the camera cable to the in-
cluded Ethernet extension cable.
2. Connect the Ethernet extension cable to one of the PoE ports on
the back panel of your NVR.
Note
You can use a single CAT5e Ethernet cable up to 300ft (91m) to
connect the camera to your NVR. The camera is compatible with
Lorex LNR100 & LNR400 Series NVRs only.
#; r. 1.0/19290/19290; en-US 6

5 Connecting the Camera
5.2 OPTION 2: Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network
(LAN)
For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local
Area Network (LAN) as the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting
the camera to the same router as the NVR. For these installations, an
external PoE switch (sold separately) or power adapter (not included)
must be used to provide power to the camera. You also must add the
camera on the NVR before it will show a picture on the monitor or be
recorded by the NVR.
What is PoE?
PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a technology that allows Ethernet cables
to carry electrical power to connected devices. Compatible NVRs use
integrated PoE ports to provide power and Pan-Tilt commands to the
camera, as well as video connection to the NVR. In order to use PoE
with this IP camera, you must connect it directly to a compatible NVR
(Lorex LNR100 & LNR400 Series only) or a PoE switch on the same
network as the NVR.
PoE switches are available for purchase on www.lorextechnology.com
.
Complete the following steps to connect the camera to the NVR over
the LAN.
#; r. 1.0/19290/19290; en-US 7

5 Connecting the Camera
Step 1 of 2 — OPTION A: Connecting the camera to your local
network using an optional PoE switch:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable of up to 300ft (91m) rated CAT5e or
higher (not included) from the LAN port on an external PoE switch
(sold separately on www.lorextechnology.com) to your router.
Connect the power cable to the PoE switch and to a power outlet
or surge protector.
Note
Terminology may vary depending on the model of PoE switch
you have.
2. Connect the camera to the PoE switch using the included Ether-
net cable (or a CAT5e Ethernet cable of up to 300ft (91m)). The
PoE switch will provide power and video transmission the same
way as your NVR.

5 Connecting the Camera
Step 1 of 2 — OPTION B: Connecting the camera to your local
network using a power adapter (not included):
1. Connect the camera to a 12V DC power adapter (sold separately
on www.lorextechnology.com — model #: CVA4902).
2. Connect the camera to a router in the same network as your NVR
using the included Ethernet cable (or an Ethernet cable of up to
300ft (91m) rated CAT5e or higher).
Step 2 of 2: Add the camera to your NVR:
CAUTION
The following instructions are based on the Lorex LNR400 Series
NVR. See your NVR’s instruction manual for instructions on con-
trolling the PTcamera with your system.
1. Right-click and select Device Search .
2. Log in using the admin account (default User Name: admin; de-
fault Password: 000000).

6 Installation
6.1 Installation Tips and Warnings
• Camera is rated for outdoor use. It is recommended to install the
camera in a sheltered area, such as under the eaves on a roof.
• Camera is capable of seeing in low light conditions (0.1 Lux), but it
cannot see in total darkness. It is recommended to install the cam-
era where there is some ambient light (for example, street lighting
or starlight, moonlight, etc.) or leave some lighting on in the area
where the camera is installed.
• Mount the camera in a location that can support the camera
weight.
• Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense
sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines
or telephone lines.
• Ensure you adhere to local building codes.
• Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible but out of reach.
6.2 Installation (Indoor/Outdoor)
Note
The camera includes all necessary components for ceiling mount-
ing only.

6 Installation
6.2.1 Ceiling Mounting
To ceiling mount the camera:
1. Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the mount-
ing screws and camera cable.
1. Mounting screw holes; 2. Camera cable hole
2. Drill holes for the mounting screws, drywall anchors (optional)
and camera cable.
Note
• Use the included drywall anchors if installing on a drywall
surface.
• If you are planning on running the cables along the mount-
ing surface, there is no need to drill a hole for the camera
cable.

6 Installation
3. Align the metal mounting plate so that the 3 screw holes in the
plate line up with the 3 holes drilled in the ceiling. Attach the flat
side of the metal mounting plate to the mounting surface using
the included mounting screws (3x).
1. Drywall anchors (3x — optional); 2. Mounting screws (3x); 3.
Mounting surface; 4. Metal mounting plate
4. Remove the M2x5 screw from the side of the camera using the in-
cluded Allen key.
5. Connect the camera cables as shown in 5 Connecting the Cam-
era, page 6.
#; r. 1.0/19290/19290; en-US 14

6 Installation
6. Align the 3 notches on the side of the dome camera with the pegs
on the metal mounting plate. Push the camera gently into the
mounting plate until it ‘clicks’.
CAUTION
If you are drilling a hole for
the camera cable, ensure
that you run the cable
through the cable hole in
the metal mounting plate.
See image below for
reference:
If you run the cables along
the mounting surface, you
must run the cable through
the cable notch on the cam-
era base and underneath
the metal mounting plate.
This will keep the camera
base flush to the surface
when mounted. See image
below for reference:
