• For a full list of compatible recorders, visit lorex.com/compatibility.
• To ensure that you are viewing camera video in full 4K resolution (4K monitor required), check the
video output resolution of your recorder. For full instructions, see your recorder’s documentation at
lorex.com.
• Not intended for submersion in water. Installation in a sheltered location recommended.
• This camera includes an Auto Mechanical IR Cut Filter. When the camera changes between Day/
Night viewing modes, an audible clicking noise may be heard from the camera. This clicking is
normal, and indicates that the camera lter is working.
Disclaimers
ATTENTION:
• Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the
camera and cable to your NVR.
• Review the section “STEP 1: Important Installation Guidelines” above before choosing a
permanent mounting location.
Before Installing the Camera
• Decide whether to run the cables through
the wall / ceiling (drilling required) or along
the wall / ceiling.
• 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 ush to the surface when
mounted. Cable Notch
To install your camera:
1. Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the screws.
2. Drill holes for the mounting screws.
NOTE: Insert the included drywall anchors if you are installing the camera in
drywall.
3. Connect cables as shown in the section “Connecting the Camera”.
4. Feed the cable through the mounting surface or cable notch and mount the
camera stand to the surface using the provided screws.
5. Use a Philips head screwdriver (not included) to loosen the adjustment screw
shown below. Adjust the camera position as needed:
• Tilt the camera
on the stand up
to 90°.
• Twist the camera
around the stand
360°. Adjustment Screw
6. Tighten the adjustment screw to secure the position.
7. Remove the vinyl lm from the camera lens when your installation is complete.
Additional Installation Tips:
• Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (e.g., tree branches).
• Install the camera where vandals cannot easily reach.
• Secure cabling so that it is not exposed or easily cut.
• This camera is rated for outdoor use. Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.
STEP 1: Important Installation Guidelines
1A. Optimizing Person and Vehicle Detection Accuracy:
• Angle the camera so that objects of interest appear in the bottom ⅔of the camera image.
• Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 50ft (~15m) from the
camera.
1B. Optimizing Face Detection Accuracy:
High Accuracy Face Detection Vs. Low Accuracy Face Detection
Optimal accuracy for objects within
50ft (~15m) and in the bottom ⅔of
the image.
Lower accuracy for objects further
away than 50ft (~15m) and/or in the
top ⅓of the image.
• Angle the camera between 30~60° down from the
level position.
• Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5-5m) off of
the ground.
STEP 2: Installing the Camera
Level position (i.e., ceiling)
Optimal
angle
range
NOTE: Accuracy of person and vehicle detection will
be inuenced by multiple factors, such as the object’s
distance from the camera, the size of the object, and the
height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also
impact the accuracy of detection.
The optimal installation location including height/angle for your camera will depend on the
type of detection settings that you want to enable. The optimal angle for person and vehicle
detection is different from the optimal angle for face detection. Based on your detection
preference choose between Step 1A or 1B.
2.76”

• The camera should be installed about 10 feet above the ground so as to ensure that the
full proportion of the face is detected on the screen.
• Angle the camera approximately 15° down from the level position.
• To distinguish facial features the distance from the camera to the face should be
approximately 15 feet.
Accuracy of Face Detection will be inuenced by the distance and angle of the face from the
camera. For optimal Face Detection the camera must be positioned head on to capture a
person’s entire face looking straight ahead. Obscured and/or partially or fully covered faces
(i.e. a person’s head tilted down to look at their phone) will not be accurately detected.
During low light conditions the camera will impact color night vision by switching to black &
white to ensure accuracy and improve detection range of Face Detection. If you cannot meet
the above requirements for installation it may be best to use person detection instead.
IMPORTANT:
• You cannot enable both Face Detection and Person and Vehicle Detection at the same time.
• Face Detection is compatible with certain Lorex NVR’s only. For a list of compatible NVR’s
please visit lorex.com/compatibility.
• Face Detection is disabled by default. For more information on Face Detection setup and
conguration, refer to the NVR’s manual at lorex.com.

Problem Solution
No picture / signal • Ensure the camera is connected to a compatible NVR. For full
compatibility, visit lorex.com/compatibility.
• The camera may take up to 1 minute to power up after being
connected to the NVR. Wait two minutes before following the steps
below.
• Ensure the camera is connected to your NVR or to your local network.
• If you are not using PoE, you must connect the camera to a 12V DC
power adapter (not included).
• If the camera is connected to the LAN, you must search your network
for cameras using the NVR. See the NVR’s instruction manual.
• Ensure your NVR is properly connected to a monitor.
• There may be an issue with your extension cable run. Connect the
camera to the NVR using a different Ethernet cable.
Picture does not appear
to be 4K
• To ensure that you are viewing camera video in full 4K resolution (4K
monitor required), check the video output resolution of your NVR. For
full instructions, see your NVR’s documentation at lorex.com.
