Placing the Camera
6
• Place the camera on any at surface or mount it to a wall.
• Do not place the camera near air conditioners and other
air outlets.
• Install the camera at the recommended angle and height
to optimize motion detection accuracy.
Optimize motion detection accuracy:
Distance
Angle
Height
Distance
Angle
Height
Optimal accuracy for objects within
6.5ft to 32ft (2~10m).
Angle the camera around 15°-30°
down from the level position.
Install the camera between 7-10ft
(2~3m) off of the ground.
Optimal accuracy for objects within
0.5-32ft (2~10m).
Place the camera on a at surface.
Make sure the at surface/shelf is not
obstructing the camera’s eld of view.
Place the camera between 4.5ft to
6.5ft (1.5~2m) off of the ground.
Note: Accuracy of person detection will be inuenced by multiple factors, such as the
person’s distance from the camera, the height of the person, and the height and angle of the
camera. Night vision will also impact the accuracy and distance of detection.

3. Secure the mounting plate using a Philips
head screwdriver and the screws.
4. Match the arrow side of the mounting
bracket to the arrow side of the
mounting plate (see Figure 2).
5. Insert the four tabs from the mounting
plate into the mounting bracket and push
down. A “click” sound will indicate that
the bracket is locked in (see Figure 2).
Note: To detach the mounting bracket
from the mounting plate, simply push
the bracket up to unlock it.
6. Position the bracket’s adjustable screw to the desired
angle. If necessary, loosen the 3 screws on the bottom

1. How to charge the battery.
See section 5 “Installing the Battery” for more details.
2. The camera runs out of battery too fast.
• Check to see if the camera is frequently set off by motion. If so, enable “Person Detection”
and decrease the motion and person detection sensitivity.
• Change the performance mode of the camera to “Power Saving Mode”.
• If the camera is being used in a high trac area use an optional power adapter, consider
obtaining the solar panel accessory, or adjust the angle of the camera to avoid busy area’s
like roads or sidewalks.
• Check to see if the wireless connection between the camera and the Lorex Home Hub is strong.
The weaker the signal, the higher the power consumption.
• Make sure the camera is not placed near an air conditioner or an air vent.
• Cold temperatures affect the battery’s capacity to work. If your camera is outside in cold
temperatures, then the battery life might be shorter.
3. The camera is oine.
• Check to see if the battery has run out of power. Remove the battery and plug it into the charging
adapter and cable to check the battery’s status indicator. A solid red status indicator means the
battery is nearly empty or empty.
• Check to see if the Lorex Home Hub is oine. See section 3 “Status Indicator” for more details.

• See section 3 “Status Indicator” for more details.
• Check that the power adapter is securely connected.
• Make sure the ethernet cable is properly connected to the Lorex Home Hub and your router (wired
connection only).
• Try to connect to the Internet from another device that is connected directly to your router to make
sure you are getting service.
• Power cycle the Lorex Home Hub.
• Reset the Lorex Home Hub if necessary. This will not affect recordings stored on the device.
5. Failed to pair the camera to the Lorex Home Hub.
• Ensure that both the Lorex Home Hub and camera are in pairing mode. Refer to section 3 “Status
Indicator”.
• The distance between the camera and the Lorex Home Hub is too far. Make sure the
camera is no more than 3ft from the hub during the set up process.
• Make sure you are only pairing one camera to the Lorex Home Hub at a time.
• Reset the camera. Press and hold down on the reset button until you hear the chime then try pairing
again.
• Make sure that the Lorex Home Hub has been added to the app before pairing.
6. The camera is not picking up motion detection and has a strong reection when recording through
glass.
The camera’s motion sensor will not work when recording through glass or any other building material.
The camera needs to be located outside when trying to monitor motion outdoors.
7. How to reset the camera to factory settings.
Press and hold down on the reset button until you hear the chime.
