Safety precautions
• Read this guide carefully and keep it for future reference.
• Follow all instructions for safe use and handling of the product.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
• Use the camera only with compatible Lorex NVRs.
• Use the camera within given temperature, humidity and voltage levels noted in the camera’s specs.
• Do not point the camera directly towards the sun or a source of intense light.
• Install the camera where vandals cannot easily reach.
• This camera is rated for outdoor use. Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.
• Periodically clean the camera lens with a soft cloth and warm water.
• Check the packaging of the included cable to verify the cable grade based on the model number.
CBL605U: The supplied cable is rated for surface and in-wall mounting. CBL100C5: The supplied cable
is rated for surface mounting only. Cables for in-wall and oor-to-oor installations are sold separately
(CMR type). These and other cables are available at lorex.com.
Disclaimers
• For a full list of compatible NVRs, visit lorex.com/compatibility.
• 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.

ATTENTION: It is recommended to connect the camera to the NVR or an external PoE switch.
If using a DC power adapter (not included) with the camera, a REGULATED power supply is REQUIRED
for use with this camera. Use of a non-regulated, non-conforming power supply can damage this
product and voids the warranty.

Important installation guidelines
The optimal installation location, including the height and angle of your camera, will depend on
the type of detection settings that you want to enable. Since the optimal angle for person and
vehicle detection is different from the optimal angle for face detection, you will need to select one
approach.
1. Optimizing person and vehicle detection accuracy, see page 4.
2. Optimizing face and mask detection accuracy, see pages 5-7.
3
Based on your detection preference choose between:
Note: You cannot enable both face detection and person and vehicle detection at the same time.

3
8-16ft
30-60° down
50ft
1. Optimizing person and vehicle detection accuracy
• Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 50ft (15m) from the camera.
• Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5-5m) off the ground.
• Angle the camera between 30-60° down from the level position.
• Optimal accuracy for objects of interest appear in the bottom 2/3 of the camera image.
• Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (i.e. tree branches).
4
Accuracy 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.
Accuracy of person and vehicle detection

2. Optimizing face and mask detection accuracy
• Install in a bright area and avoid facing direct sunlight with strong backlights and dark shadows.
• Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 15ft (4.5m) from the camera.
• Position the camera 10ft (3m) off the ground to detect the full proportion of a face.
• Angle the camera around 15° down from the level position.
• Point the camera directly where objects of interest will be facing.

ATTENTION: Facial recording without consent
is illegal in certain jurisdictions. Lorex Technology does
not assume liability for any use of its product that fails
to conform with local laws.

5 6
Accuracy will be inuenced by lighting conditions and the distance/angle of a person’s face
to the camera. To distinguish facial features, the camera must be positioned head on with a
clear view of a person’s face. Obscured and partially/fully covered faces will not be accurately
captured. To improve the range of face detection in low light conditions, color night vision will
switch to black & white. If you cannot meet these requirements for installation, it may be best to
follow the guidelines for person and vehicle detection instead.
High accuracy Vs. low accuracy face detection

7
With face detection enabled, you can set
the alarm type to detect if a person is not
wearing a mask. A person not wearing a
mask or improperly wearing a mask will be
captured in the face preview sidebar and a
notication will be sent through the Lorex
Home App. Enable Mask Detect and
Auto-response to remind a non-mask
wearer to: “Please wear your face mask”.
Mask detection
Notes:
• You can enable face detection without using mask detection.
• Face detection is disabled by default. For more information on face detection setup and
conguration, refer to your NVR’s manual at lorex.com.
• Face detection and mask detection are compatible with certain Lorex NVRs. For a list of
compatible NVRs, please visit lorex.com/compatibility.

• Test your camera prior to selecting a
permanent mounting location by
temporarily connecting the camera
and cable to your NVR.
• Review “Important installation
guidelines”, page 3 before choosing a
permanent mounting location.
• 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 located
on the camera base (see Figure 1). This
will keep the camera base ush to the
surface when mounted.

IMPORTANT!
Before Installing
Figure 1: Cable notch

1. Use the included mounting template to mark
holes for the screws and camera cable.
2. Drill holes for the screws and camera cable.
Insert the optional anchors if installing in drywall.
3. Feed the camera cable through the camera base.
If you are running cables along a wall/ceiling,
make sure to pass the cable through
the cable notch.
4. Connect cables as shown in “Connecting the
camera”, pages 10-11.
5. Use a Philips screwdriver and the screws to
attach the camera base to the mounting surface.
6. Angle the dome camera and cover as shown in
Figure 2.
7. Use the included Allen key to tighten the dome
camera rmly onto the camera base.
8. Remove the vinyl lm from the camera lens once
your installation is complete.

Connecting the camera
1. Connect cameras directly to the NVR (recommended).
Connect the cameras and cables to your NVR using one of the following two setup methods.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera and then connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to the NVR’s PoE ports. The camera may take a minute to power on after being
connected.
NVR’s PoE ports
Camera’s Ethernet connector
Notes:
• The smart deterrence camera is only compatible with select NVRs. For a list of compatible
NVRs, visit lorex.com/compatibility.
• You must connect the camera to a supporting H.265 NVR to take advantage of H.265
compression. For instructions on enabling H.265 compression, visit lorex.com, and search
“How do I enable H.265 compression?”.

11
2. Connect cameras to a PoE switch or router on your network (not included).
OR
Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera and then connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to a router or switch on your network. See your NVR manual for details on connecting
the camera to your NVR using a router or switch.
Router’s LAN portPoE switch
12V DC power
ATTENTION: A 12V DC power adapter (model#: ACCPWR12V1, not included) is only required
if connecting the camera’s Ethernet cable to a router or switch that does not support PoE.
Camera’s Ethernet connector

Using the RJ45 cable gland (optional)
Cable extension options
The pre-attached RJ45 cable gland covers both the camera’s Ethernet connector and the RJ45 plug
to provide weather-resistance and protection from dust, dirt and other environmental contaminants.
You can extend the Ethernet cable run for your camera up to 300ft (91m). To extend the cable run
beyond 300ft (91m), a switch will be required (sold separately). Use an RJ45 coupler or a network
switch (not included) to connect male ends of Ethernet cables together. We recommend using
UL CMR approved cables available at lorex.com.
To use the RJ45 cable gland, twist the RJ45 cable gland barrel securely onto the camera’s
Ethernet connector.
12
Tip: The RJ45 cable gland is
weather-resistant. Seal the cap
with silicone and/or electrical tape
for additional sealing if it will be
exposed to precipitation regularly.
