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 in-
stalled. 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.
• Make sure there are no live electrical cables in the area where you plan to
mount the camera.

Connecting the Camera
3
It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the PTZ con-
trols before permanent installation. For instructions on how to setup PTZ con-
trols, see 5 Controlling the PTZ Camera with an NVR.
3.1 OPTION 1: Connecting Cameras 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 a single CAT5e Ethernet cable up to 300ft (91m) to connect the camera to
your NVR. Compatible with all Lorex HD NVRs, excluding the LNR200 & LNR300 Ser-
ies. For the most up-to-date list of compatible recorders, please visit www.lorextechnology.
com/support
3.2 OPTION 2: Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)
For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local Area Net-
work (LAN) as the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to
the same
router (not included) as the NVR. For these installations, an external
PoE switch (sold separately) or power adapter (not included) must be used to
provide power to the camera. You must also add the camera on the NVR be-
fore it will show a
picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
What is PoE?
PoE is a technology that allows Ethernet cables to carry electrical power to
connected devices. Compatible NVRs use integrated PoE ports to provide
#LX400075; r.38010/38010; en-US 3

Connecting the Camera
3
power and PTZ commands to the camera, as well as video connection to the
NVR over a single CAT5E cable. In order to use PoE with this IP camera, you
must connect it directly to a compatible NVR or a PoE switch on the same net-
work as the NVR.
For the most up-to-date list of compatible recorders,
please visit www.lorextechnology.com/support
PoE switches are available for purchase on www.lorextechnology.com.
Complete the following steps to connect the camera to the NVR over the LAN.
Step 1 of 2 — OPTION A: Connecting the camera to your local network
using an
optional 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 sepa-
rately on www.lorextechnology.com) to your router. Connect the power ca-
ble to the PoE switch and plug into a power outlet or surge protector.
NOTE
Terminology may vary depending on the model of PoE switch you have.
#LX400075; r.38010/38010; en-US 4

Connecting the Camera
3
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 pro-
vide power and video transmission the same way as your NVR.
Step 1 of 2 — OPTION B: Connecting the camera to your local network
using a power adapter:
1. Connect the camera to a power adapter (not included).
NOTE
For power requirement specification, see 6 Technical Specifications.
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:
CAUTION
The following instructions are based on the Lorex LNR400 Series NVR. See your NVR’s in-
struction manual for instructions on controlling the PTZ camera with your system.
1. Right-click and select Device Search.

4.1 Installation Tips and Warnings
• 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.
• Use the included wall mounting bracket for wall installation.
Otherwise, the camera image will be sideways. You can also refer to the
included
installation diagram guide for wall mounting instructions.
• Camera is capable of seeing in low light conditions (0.1 Lux), but it cannot
see in total darkness.
NOTE
It is recommended to install the camera where there is some ambient light (for exam-
ple, street lighting or starlight, moonlight, etc.) or leave some lighting on in the area
where the camera is installed.
• Mount the camera in a location that can support the camera weight.
• 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 tele-
phone 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 ceiling mounting. Wall mounting requires included wall mount.
4.2 Installation (Indoor/Outdoor)
The camera includes all necessary components for ceiling mounting and wall
mounting. For full instructions on each type of mounting, see 4.2.1 Wall
Mounting or 4.2.2 Ceiling Mounting.
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
dome camera base. This will keep the dome camera base flush to the ceiling
when mounted.
