Setup Diagram
Connect the included BNC-to-RCA Adapter to connect the extension
cable to RCA inputs (i.e. for a TV connection).
Before installing the cameras:
• 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 base.
This will keep the camera base flush
to the surface when mounted.
To install the cameras:
1. Use the included mounting template or the camera
base to mark holes for the mounting screws.
2. Drill the holes, then feed the cable through the
mounting surface or cable notch and mount the
camera stand to the surface using the provided
screws. Make sure all screws are fastened tightly.
Installing the Cameras 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
(sold separately)
180ft / 55m 3
2 ‘RG59’ or ‘Coax’ or
‘Coaxial BNC’
(sold separately)
300ft / 92m 5
3 Lorex Universal Cable
(sold separately)
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 than 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
