Setting up the LOREX Monitor
This section will help you in setting up and configuring your LOREX Monitor to be able
to view the video images from within your Local Area Network (LAN).
Step 1A:
Connect one or more cameras to the Monitor's video input sockets.
Step 1B:
Connect your LOREX Monitor to a spare LAN port on your Broadband Router or
network switch using the network cable supplied with the device ( or an equivalent cat5
network cable).
Step 1C:
Connect the power cable into the Monitor and plug the other end into a 110V AC socket.
Press the on/off button on the front panel to turn the unit on.
You should verify a few things at this point:
•The Screen lights up.
•The Video images appear on the screen.
•The yellow and/or green leds under the network socket are flashing
If these are not correct, check your cabling and power connections.

computer. Wait for the CD to start automatically.

This screen will display the IP address of the LOREX Monitor. Click on the item in the
left-hand pane and the details will be displayed to the right. To change any of the
parameters, enter in the new values and click 'Submit'.
Changing the IP Address and Gateway
You must have a valid IP address for the Monitor to work properly. However, if you are
not sure which numbers to use and the current configuration appears to be working then
leave the configuration as it is.
If required, you can set the static IP address and gateway parameters to match your
network configuration. If you only have a static IP network (i.e. there is no dhcp server)
, then you must assign a unique IP address to the unit or contact your network
administrator to have one assigned. The gateway address, which is set by the network
gateway/router, is used by outgoing messaging features like DDNS and e-mail
notification, and is required for these features to work.
Changing the port numbers
The port numbers are defined for web access and video streaming access. It is
advisable to leave these unchanged unless you have a very good reason to change
them. In that case the numbers should be changed to values above 1024.
Before you Exit the program, make a note of the IP address and port numbers.

DDNS
Residential broadband Internet services assign IP addresses that are dynamic, and
change from time to time. Therefore, in order to access the Lorex Monitor from the
Internet this dynamic IP address must be registered with a Dynamic Domain Name
Server (DDNS). In addition, a DDNS account must be set up with the DDNS Service
Provider, ddns.lorexcctv.net, before configuring DDNS.
