Setup Diagram
Power Adapter Types
Individual Power Adapter 4-in-1 Power Adapter
Connect a BNC-to-RCA Adapter (not included in multi-camera
packs, Lorex model # BNCB) to connect the extension cable to RCA
inputs (i.e. for a TV connection).
Before installing the camera:
• Decide whether to run
the cables through the
wall / ceiling (drilling
required) or along the
wall / celing.
• If you run the cables
along the wall /
ceiling, you must run
the cable through the
cable notch on the
base. This will keep the camera base flush to the wall
/ ceiling when mounted.
To install the camera:
1. Set the camera in the desired mounting
position and mark holes for the screws.
2. Drill the holes, then feed the cable through the
mounting surface or cable notch and mount
the camera stand to the desired surface using
the provided screws. Make sure all three
screws are fastened tightly at the connection
points.
Installing the Camera Cable Extension Options
Extend the cable run for your camera up to 300ft or more
depending on the cable type used. See table below:
Option Cable Type Max Cable
Run Distance
Max # of
Extensions
1 Regular BNC
(supplied with camera)
180ft / 55m 3
2 ‘RG59’ or ‘Coax’ or
‘Coaxial BNC’
(sold seperately)
300ft / 92m 5
3 Lorex Universal Cable
(sold seperately)
300ft / 92m 3
Notes:
1. For optimal performance, consider using option 2 or 3. It is best to use
the same cable type for the entire distance.
2. Cable run recommendation based on typical camera power consumption
(up to 500mA). For specialty cameras with higher current consumption,
maximum cable run may be reduced. Consider providing power to the
camera at the camera side, rather then at the end of the extension cable.
3. Indicators that your cable run may be too long:
• Video is permanently black & white (even during day time)
• Video is distorted
ATTENTION - Test all connections and ensure the camera is working
correctly prior to permanent installation by temporarily connecting the
camera(s) and cable(s) to the viewing / recording solution.
Problem Solution

at a window. Move the camera to a different
location.

not connect to my TV.
•Use a BNC to RCA adapter at the end of the
extension cable.
Troubleshooting
ATTENTION - 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 filter is working.
