Installing the Camera

ATTENTION:
Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your NVR.

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 surface when mounted.

To install your camera:

1. Rotate the camera base counterclockwise to separate it from the ball camera, adjustment ring, and dome cover.
2. Use the included mounting template to mark and drill holes for the included mounting screws.
3. Feed the cable through the camera base. If you are running the cables against a wall or ceiling, make sure to pass the cable through the cable notch as shown above.
4. Connect the cables as shown in the section ‘Connecting the Camera’.
5. Mount the camera base to the mounting surface using the included screws and drywall anchors (optional).
6. Place the adjustment ring over the dome cover, then place both over the ball camera. Twist the adjustment ring clockwise halfway onto the camera base. Do not tighten all the way.
7. Move the ball camera to the desired position. While holding the ball camera firmly in place, twist the adjustment ring the rest of the way to secure it to the camera base. Holding the camera prevents it from moving while securing the adjustment ring.

Connecting the Camera

Camera
Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera.

NOTE: A 12V DC power adapter (model#: CVA4902 , not included) is only required if connecting the camera’s Ethernet cable to a router or switch that does not support PoE.

NVR
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the NVR’s PoE ports. The camera may take a minute to power up after being connected.

ATTENTION:

• This camera is only compatible with select NVRs. For a list of compatible recorders, visit lorex.com/compatibility.
• You must connect the camera to a supporting H.265 NVR to take advantage of H.265 compression. For instructions on enabling H.265 compression, visit lorex.com, and search for “How do I enable H.265 compression?”.

Cable Extension Options

Extend the Ethernet cable run for your camera up to 300ft (92m). See table below. It is recommended to use UL CMR approved cables available at lorex.com.

Cable Type| Max Cable Run Distance| Max # of Extensions
---|---|---
CAT5e (or higher) Ethernet cable| 300ft (92m)| 3

• You can use a RJ45 coupler or switch (not included) to connect male ends of Ethernet cable together.
• To extend the cable run beyond 300ft (92m), a switch will be required (sold separately).

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the camera is connected to a compatible NVR. For full camera compatibility, visit lorex.com/ compatibility.
• The camera may take up to 1 minute to power up after being connected to the NVR. Wait two minutes before following the steps below.
• Ensure the camera is connected to your NVR or to your local network.
• If you are not using PoE, you must connect the camera to a 12V DC power adapter (not included).
• If the camera is connected to the LAN, you must search your network for cameras using the NVR. See the NVR’s instruction manual.
• Ensure your NVR is properly connected to a TV/ monitor.
• There may be an issue with your extension cable run. Connect the camera to the NVR using a different Ethernet cable.
