2. Insert the battery, following the arrow on the clip side of the battery.

3. Carefully align the arrow on the battery cover with the unlock symbol on the camera. Twist the cover counterclockwise to lock (See Figure 2).

To charge the battery:

Option A – Charging inside the camera

1. Use the charging adapter and cable to connect to the camera’s power port.
2. Plug into a power outlet until the camera’s LED indicator is solid green.

Option B – Charging battery by itself

1. Remove the battery from the camera.
2. Use the charging adapter and cable to connect to the battery’s power port.
3. Plug into a power outlet until the battery’s status indicator is solid green (See Figure 3).

Placing the Camera

• Place the camera on any flat surface or mount it to a wall.
• Do not place the camera near air conditioners and other air outlets.
• Install the camera at the recommended angle and height to optimize motion detection accuracy.

To optimize motion detection accuracy when:

Mounted on a wall

• Distance: Optimal accuracy for objects within 6.5ft to 32ft (2~10m).
• Angle:   Angle the camera around 15°-30° down from the level position
• Height:   Install the camera between 7-10ft (2~3m) off of the ground

Placed on a shelf

• Distance: Optimal accuracy for objects within 0.5-32ft (2~10m)
• Angle: Place the camera on a flat surface. Make sure the flat surface/shelf is not obstructing the camera’s field of view.
• Height: Place the camera between 4.5ft to 6.5ft (1.5~2m) off of the ground.

Note: Accuracy of person detection will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the person’s distance from the camera, the height of the person, and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also impact the accuracy and distance of detection.

Installing the Camera

To install the camera:

1. Stick the mounting template to the mounting surface or hold it up to mark the holes.
   Optional: Drill holes for the anchors if installing on concrete, stucco, brick, or any other masonry surface. Use a 7/32” or 15/64” drill bit (5.5 – 6mm).

2. Align the mounting plate to the mounting surface and use a Philips head screwdriver to secure the screws.
   Note: Be sure to follow the “UP”/“TOP” directions on the mounting template and mounting plate

3. Align and push in the “UP” side of the mounting bracket to the “UP” side of the mounting plate.

4. Slide the mounting bracket down into place. A “click” sound will indicate that the bracket is locked into the mounting plate.

5. Screw the camera onto the bracket and adjust the camera’s angle as needed

Troubleshooting

1. How to charge the battery.
   See section 5 “Installing the Battery” for more details.

2. The camera runs out of battery too fast.

   • Check to see if the camera is frequently set off by motion. If so, enable “Person Detection” and decrease the motion and person detection sensitivity.

   • Change the performance mode of the camera to “Power Saving Mode”.

   • If the camera is being used in a high traffic area use an optional power adapter, consider obtaining the solar panel accessory, or adjust the angle of the camera to avoid busy area’s like roads or sidewalks.

   • Check to see if the wireless connection between the camera and the Lorex Home Hub is strong.
     The weaker the signal, the higher the power consumption.

   • Make sure the camera is not placed near an air conditioner or an air vent.

   • Cold temperatures affect the battery’s capacity to work. If your camera is outside in cold temperatures, then the battery life might be shorter.

3. The camera is offline.

   • Check to see if the battery has run out of power. Remove the battery and plug it into the charging adapter and cable to check the battery’s status indicator. A solid red status indicator means the battery is nearly empty or empty.
   • Check to see if the Lorex Home Hub is offline. See section 3 “Status Indicator” for more details.

4. The Lorex Home Hub is offline.

   • See section 3 “Status Indicator” for more details.
   • Check that the power adapter is securely connected.
   • Make sure the ethernet cable is properly connected to the Lorex Home Hub and your router (wired connection only).
   • Try to connect to the Internet from another device that is connected directly to your router to make sure you are getting service.
   • Power cycle the Lorex Home Hub.
   • Reset the Lorex Home Hub if necessary. This will not affect recordings stored on the device.

5. Failed to pair the camera to the Lorex Home Hub.

   • Ensure that both the Lorex Home Hub and camera are in pairing mode. Refer to section 3 “Status Indicator”.
   • The distance between the camera and the Lorex Home Hub is too far. Make sure the camera is no more than 3ft from the hub during the set up process.
   • Make sure you are only pairing one camera to the Lorex Home Hub at a time.
   • Reset the camera. Press and hold down on the reset button until you hear the chime then try pairing again.
   • Make sure that the Lorex Home Hub has been added to the app before pairing.

6. The camera is not picking up motion detection and has a strong reflection when recording through glass. The camera’s motion sensor will not work when recording through glass or any other building material. The camera needs to be located outside when trying to monitor motion outdoors.

7. How to reset the camera to factory settings.
   Press and hold down on the reset button until you hear the chime.
