Setup Diagram
Connect the included BNC-to-RCA Adapter (Lorex model # BNCB)
to connect the BNC video connector on 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 / 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 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 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 180ft depending on the cable type
used. See table below:
Extends Cable Type Max Cable
Run Distance
Max # of
Extensions
Power
and
Video
Regular BNC (supplied with
camera) OR ‘RG59’, ‘Coax’, or
‘Coaxial BNC’ (sold separately)
180ft / 55m 3
Audio RCA cable (not included) 180ft / 55m 3
Notes:
1. 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 or audio 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.
