1 This camera features an ultra-low light sensitive image sensor and therefore does
not feature Infra-Red LEDs. The camera requires ambient lighting (for example,
street/building lighting, star or moon light) to render a night time image. In total
darkness (zero Lux) the camera will not produce a night time image and therefore the
camera should not be installed in completely dark areas.
2 Wall mount required for outdoor installation. Not intended for submersion in water.
Installation in a sheltered location recommended.
As our products are subject to continuous improvement, Lorex reserves the right to
modify product design, specifications and prices, without notice and without incurring
any obligation. E&OE

Connecting the Camera
3. Use a Philips screwdriver (not included)
to loosen the 2 screws on the RS485
connection block furthest from the
pre-attached wires.
Loosen screws Insert wires
Insert the RS485
wires into the RS485 connection block
(red to red, black to black). Tighten the
screws on the RS485 connection block to
secure the wires in place.
4. Connect the BNC female connector on the 3ft cable to the BNC male
connector on the 100ft extension cable.
5. Connect the power connector on the 100ft extension cable to the
included power adapter. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
6. Connect the RS485 connectors to the RS485 ports on the alarm block
on your DVR. The layout of the alarm block may differ depending on
your DVR model (common terms include RS485, RS422, or PTZ).
• The RS485 connectors are a pair
of bare 24-gauge wires. The red
wire is positive (+) and is
connected to the +port on the
RS485 section of the alarm
block, and the black wire is
negative (-) and is connected to
the -port.

• Most DVR’s either use screws or
a spring loaded lock to hold the
RS485 wires in place. For a
spring loaded lock, insert a
screwdriver or small object into
the lock, insert the wires, and
then remove the screwdriver to
lock the wires in place.

5
Connecting the Camera
English
• If the wires can be easily removed, they may become disconnected
and affect control of the camera. Use wire strippers (not included) to
expose more of the wires if needed.
7. Connect the male BNC connector on the 100ft extension cable to an
available Video IN port on the DVR.

Connecting the Camera
2.1 DEFAULT PROTOCOL INFORMATION
Unlike standard security cameras, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras require
special protocol information to enable a Security DVR to control the
camera movement.
Input the following information into your DVR to enable PTZ controls.
• Default ID: 1
• Default Baud Rate: 2400
• Default Protocol: Pelco-D
For details on setting up your DVR with the PTZ camera, see “Controlling
the PTZ Camera with your DVR” on page 16.
You will not need to change the default protocol information on your
camera unless you are using multiple PTZ cameras or if your DVR does
not support the default settings (see your DVR’s instruction manual for
details). If you need to change the PTZ protocol information, see
“Changing Protocol Information” on page 21.

Installation
English
3. INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTALLATION TIPS AND WARNINGS
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.
• Camera is rated for outdoor use and is weatherproof using included
wall mount only. For indoor installations, camera may be directly
attached to a ceiling.
• Before installing, connect the camera to the DVR and configure the
PTZ protocol information as needed to ensure that you can control
the camera once installed. It is very difficult to change the protocol
information once the camera is installed.
• Camera is capable of seeing in extremely low light conditions (0.02
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.
• To extend the length of the cable, see “Extension Cables” on page 8.
• 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 that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible but out of reach.

8
Installation
3.2 EXTENSION CABLES
• Included extension cable is 100ft / 30m long.
• Because this is a high-powered PTZ camera, the power cable cannot
be extended beyond 100ft.
• Alternatively, you may connect the included power adapter
directly to the camera’s power connector and plug the adapter into
a power outlet near the camera. Use the included 100ft extension
cable to connect RS485 and BNC cables to your DVR or use the
guidelines below to extend the RS485 signal.
• BNC video and PTZ control (RS485) wires can be extended an
additional 250ft / 76m up to a maximum length of 350ft / 106m. Video
quality may decrease if your extension cables are too long.
• To extend BNC video cable beyond 100ft, purchase RG59 coaxial
extension cables. It is recommended to use video cables with the
following specification: RG59U 95% Braid 20AWG or better.
• To extend the PTZ control (RS485) wires beyond 100ft, purchase a pair
of 24-gauge wires.
• Both RG59 coaxial cable and 24-gauge wires should be available from
your local building supply store.

3.3 WALL MOUNT INSTALLATION (INDOOR/
OUTDOOR)
Make sure to disconnect the power adapter before installing
the camera. Camera will begin moving immediately when
power adapter is connected.
Camera can be installed to a wall using the included wall mount. This
method is suitable for indoor or outdoor installations.
To install the camera:
1. Make sure the O-rings (3x) are
attached to the top of the pendant
cap (spares are included). Firmly
insert the pendant cap on to the
wall mount bracket and twist to
tighten all the way. Insert the
bracket screws (3x) to secure
pendant cap to wall mount
bracket.
1
2. Use the back of the wall mount to
drill holes for the mounting
screws. If you are running cables
through the wall, also drill a hole
for the cables. Run the single end
of the cable through the wall
mount and attach the wall mount
to the wall using the wall
mounting screws (4x) supplied
with the wall mount.

NOTE: Use the included drywall anchors if installing in drywall.
