Problem Solution
No picture / signal • Ensure the camera is connected to a compatible DVR. For full camera
compatibility, visit lorextechnology.com/compatibility.
• Ensure the wireless receiver is properly connected to the DVR.
• Ensure the power pack is properly inserted into the camera base.
• Ensure you have removed the PLEASE REMOVE label from the power pack.
• Connect the power adapter to your power pack to ensure the power pack is
charged. The LED indicator on the power pack glows green for full charge, red
for less than full charge.
• Remove obstructions between the receiver and camera. Materials such as
brick, concrete and wood can signicantly impact the wireless signal strength.
• Try repositioning the camera, receiver, or both to improve the reception.
The receiver can be wall mounted using the included double-sided tape or
mounting screws.
Battery life is too
short
• Ensure the camera is not pointing at a high-trac area. Position the camera
so it only captures areas of interest with no high-trac areas (e.g., a busy
sidewalk or roadway) visible in the image.
• Live video is being viewed too frequently. Viewing live video often will impact
battery performance.
• Battery life will vary based on temperature, settings and number of events.
Picture is dropping • Move the camera closer to the receiver.
• Try repositioning the camera, receiver, or both to improve the reception.
Picture is or has
become choppy
• The picture may become choppy when experiencing a lower frame rate (e.g.,
6 frames per second vs. a higher 15 frames per second). This may be related
to signal strength or the camera’s resolution.
• Ensure the camera resolution is set to 720p using the Lorex Secure app or the
DVR.
• Try moving the camera closer to the receiver.
• Remove obstructions between the receiver and camera.
Camera is not
detecting motion
• Your camera may be too far away from the area of interest. Try to keep the
camera within 20ft (6.1m) of the area you want to monitor.
• Review the “Installation Tips” section to ensure your camera is installed in an
optimal location.
Picture is too bright • Ensure your camera isn’t pointed directly at a source of light (e.g., sun or spot
light).
• Move your camera to a different location.
Night vision is not
working
• The night vision activates when light levels drop. The area may have too much
light.
Picture is not clear • Check the camera lens for dirt, dust, spiderwebs. Clean the lens with a soft,
clean cloth.
Bright spot in video
when viewing at
night
• Night vision reects when pointing a camera through a window. Move the
camera to a different location.

mounting the camera onto drywall.
• The hole at the bottom of the mounting bracket
will be used in step 5, once the camera is attached

Installation Tips
• See images to the right for ideal setup. It is recommended
to place your camera at least 7ft (2.1m) above the ground
and angle it slightly downward toward the monitoring area,
excluding any busy areas
(e.g., sidewalks or roadways).
• Ensure the camera image is free of obstructions (i.e., tree
branches).
• Position the camera no more than 20ft (6.1m) away from
the area you wish to monitor.
• For best performance, position the camera so that objects
of interest will move from side-to-side across the camera
image, rather than moving towards or away from the
camera.
• Install the camera within range of the wireless receiver
(noted in the camera’s specications).
• This camera is weather resistant for outdoor use (IP65
rated). Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.
• Battery life will vary based on temperature, settings and
number of events.
The wire-free cameras use a Passive InfraRed (PIR) sensor to ensure video is only recorded
when motion is detected. Follow the tips below for more accurate motion detection and to
optimize battery life:
7. OPTIONAL: Lift up the rubber seal on the right-
side release button. Insert the locking screw
and tighten using the included Allen key to
secure the power pack in place.
8. Twist the adjustment ring near the camera base
counterclockwise to loosen and reposition the
camera. Hold the camera in the desired angle and
tighten the adjustment ring completely to secure the
camera in place.
Charging the Power Pack
Use the included power adapter to charge the power
pack. Connect the power adapter to the micro USB port
on the power pack. The LED indicator on the power pack
