Safety Instructions
1
• Read this guide carefully and keep it for future reference.
• Follow all instructions for safe use of the product and handle with care.
• Use the camera within given temperature, humidity, and voltage levels noted in the
Technical Specifications.
• Camera is rated for outdoor use and is weatherproof when properly installed. Camera
is not intended for submersion in water. Installation under a sheltered environment is
recommended.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
• Do not point the camera directly towards the sun or a source of intense light.
• Use only the supplied regulated power supply. Use of a non-regulated, non-conforming
power supply can damage this product and voids the warranty.
• Make sure to install the camera in a location that can support the camera weight. If
mounting the camera on a drywall surface, you must drill at least 2 of the mounting
screws through a wooden stud. See 4.2 Installation (Indoor/Outdoor), page 7 for com-
plete installation instructions.
• Make sure there are no live electrical cables in the area where you plan to mount the
camera.
• Periodic cleaning may be required. Use a damp cloth only. Do not use anything other
than water to clean the dome cover, as chemicals such as acetone can permanently
damage the plastic.

Connecting the Camera
3
NOTE
It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the PTZ controls before permanent instal-
lation. For instructions on how to set up PTZ controls, see 5 Controlling the PTZ Camera with an NVR,
page 13.
3.1 Option 1: Connecting the Camera to an NVR
1. Connect the PoE+ connector on the camera cable to the included 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 up to a 300ft (91m) CAT5e Ethernet cable to connect the camera to your NVR. The camera
is compatible with all Lorex HD NVRs except for LNR200 & LNR300 Series. For the most up-to-date list
of compatible recorders, visit www.lorextechnology.com/support.
3.2 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 (in-
cluded) 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. High-powered devices such as PTZ cameras use PoE+ (also
known as PoE class 4 or IEEE 802.3at), which provides more power to connected devices
than standard PoE. Compatible NVRs use integrated PoE+ ports to provide power and
PTZ commands to the camera, as well as video connection to the NVR. PoE+ ports will
provide up to 30W to each connected device, whereas standard PoE (class 3) ports only
provide up to 15W. In order to use this PoE+ rated camera without the included power
adapter, you must connect it directly to a compatible NVR (compatible with all Lorex HD
NVRs except for LNR200 & LNR300 Series. For the most up-to-date list of compatible re-
corders, visit www.lorextechnology.com/support) or a PoE+ switch on the same network
as the NVR. PoE+ switches are available for purchase on www.lorextechnology.com (mod-
el #: ACCLPS241B).
Complete the following steps to connect the camera to the NVR over the LAN.
#LX400020; r.35429/35429; en-US 3

Connecting the Camera
3
Step 1 of 2 — Option A: Connecting the camera to your local network using an op-
tional 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 Ethernet 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.

Step 1 of 2 — Option B: Connecting the camera to your local network using power
adapters:
1. Connect the camera to the included power adapter.
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:
1. Right-click and select Device Search .
2. Log in using the admin account (default User Name: admin; default Password:
000000).
3. Click Device Search. The system searches the network for compatible cameras.
4. Check the camera(s) you would like to add.

4.1 Installation Tips and Warnings
WARNING
Make sure to install the camera in a location that can support the camera weight. If mounting the camera
on a drywall surface, you must drill the mounting screws through a wooden stud. See 4.2 Installation (In-
door/Outdoor), page 7 for full installation instructions.
• 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.
• It is recommended to install the camera as high up as possible to get the best possible
image.
• Camera is capable of seeing in low light conditions (0.05 Lux), but it cannot see in total
darkness. It is recommended to install the camera where there is some ambient light (e.
g. street lighting or starlight, moonlight, etc.) or leave some lighting on in the area where
the camera is installed.
• 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.
NOTE
This camera is suitable for wall and ceiling mounting.
4.2 Installation (Indoor/Outdoor)
To install the camera on a wall:
CAUTION
Make sure to disconnect power before installing the camera. Camera will begin moving immediately when
power is connected.
