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

Connecting the Camera
3
It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the PTZ controls before
permanent installation. For instructions on how to setup PTZ controls, see 5 Controlling
the PTZ Camera with an NVR, page 14.
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 the LNR / NR / LNK Series NVRs, excluding the LNR200 and LNR300 Series. For
the most up-to-date list of compatible recorders, please visit www.lorextechnology.com/compatibility.
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 Network (LAN) as
the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to the same router (not in-
cluded) 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 before 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 de-
vices. Compatible NVRs use integrated PoE ports to provide 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 network as the NVR.
NOTE
• For the most up-to-date list of compatible recorders, please visit
www.lorextechnology.com/compatibility
• PoE switches are available for purchase on www.lorextechnology.com.
Complete the following steps to connect the camera to the NVR over the LAN.
#LX400075; r.41474/44665; 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 plug into 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 a
power adapter:
#LX400075; r.41474/44665; en-US 4

Connecting the Camera

1. Connect the camera to a power adapter (not included).
NOTE
For power requirement specification, see 8 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:
• For instructions on adding the PTZ camera to the LNR / NR Series NVRs , see 3.3 Add-
ing the PTZ Camera to the LNR / NR Series NVRs, page 5
• For instructions on adding the PTZ camera to the LNK Series NVRs, see 3.4 Adding

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 im-
age 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 example, 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 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 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.
1. Cable Notch
4.2.1 Wall Mounting
CAUTION
Make sure to install in a location that can support the combined weight of the wall mounting bracket and
the camera.
#LX400075; r.41474/44665; en-US 8

Installation4
To wall mount the camera:
1. Use the Allen key (S3.0) included with the wall mounting bracket kit to loosen the hex
lock on the bottom of the wall mounting bracket. Once loose, remove the back plate of
the mounting bracket.
1. Wall Mount
2. Hex Lock
3. Back Plate
2. Use the Allen key included with the camera mounting kit to loosen the dome camera
cover screws (x3). Remove the dome camera cover.

#LX400075; r.41474/44665; en-US 9

Installation4
4. Ensure that the cable notch on the dome camera base is aligned with the cable notch
on the wall mounting bracket. Align the 3 mounting holes on the dome camera base
with the 3 corresponding mounting holes on the wall mounting bracket.
1: Cable Notch
2: Mounting Holes
NOTE
The wall mount you received may have more or less mounting holes than the one depicted in this
guide. The mounting holes (3x) on the dome camera base will align with the corresponding mounting
holes on the wall mount.
5. Use the Hex Bolt M4x10 (x3) screws included with the wall mounting bracket kit to se-
cure the position of the dome camera base.
6. Holding the flat side of the back plate against the mounting surface, mark holes for the
mounting screws ST4 (x4) and the camera cable. Remove the back plate and drill
where marked.
NOTE
You do not need to mark holes for the camera cable if you plan to run it along the wall / ceiling.
1: Mounting screw ST4 (x4) holes, 2: Camera cable hole
