STEP 1: Important Installation Guidelines
The optimal installation location including height/angle for your camera will depend on the type of detection settings that you want to enable. The optimal angle for person and vehicle detection is different from the optimal angle for face detection. Based on your detection preference choose between Step 1A or 1B.
1A. Optimizing Person and Vehicle Detection Accuracy:
- Angle the camera so that objects of interest appear in the bottom ⅔ of the camera image.
- Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 50ft (~15m) from the
camera.
Lower accuracy for objects further away than 50ft (~15m) and/or in the top ⅓ of the image.
Optimal accuracy for objects within 50ft (~15m) and in the bottom ⅔ of the image.
- Angle the camera between 30~60° down from the level position.
- Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5-5m) off of the ground.
NOTE: Accuracy of person and vehicle detection will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the object’s distance from the camera, the size of the object, and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also impact the accuracy of detection.
Additional Installation Tips:
- Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (e.g., tree branches).
- Install the camera where vandals cannot easily reach.
- Secure cabling so that it is not exposed or easily cut.
- This camera is rated for outdoor use. Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.
1B. Optimizing Face Detection Accuracy:
- The camera should be installed about 10 feet above the ground so as to ensure that the full proportion of the face is detected on the screen.
- Angle the camera approximately 15° down from the level position.
- To distinguish facial features the distance from the camera to the face should be approximately 15 feet.
High Accuracy Face Detection Vs. Low Accuracy Face Detection
Accuracy of Face Detection will be influenced by the distance and angle of the
face from the
camera. For optimal Face Detection the camera must be positioned head on to
capture a person’s entire face looking straight ahead. Obscured and/or
partially or fully covered faces
(i.e. a person’s head tilted down to look at their phone) will not be
accurately detected.
During low light conditions the camera will impact color night vision by
switching to black &
white to ensure accuracy and improve detection range of Face Detection. If you
cannot meet
the above requirements for installation it may be best to use person detection
instead.
IMPORTANT:
-
You cannot enable both Face Detection and Person and Vehicle Detection at the same time.
-
Face Detection is compatible with certain Lorex NVR’s only. For a list of compatible NVR’s
please visit lorex.com/compatibility. -
Face Detection is disabled by default. For more information on Face Detection setup and
configuration, refer to the NVR’s manual at lorex.com.
STEP 2: Installing the Camera
ATTENTION:
- Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your NVR.
- Review the section “STEP 1: Important Installation Guidelines” above before choosing a
permanent mounting location.
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:
-
Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the screws.
-
Drill holes for the mounting screws.
NOTE: Insert the included drywall anchors if you are installing the camera in drywall. -
Connect cables as shown in the section “Connecting the Camera”.
-
Feed the cable through the mounting surface or cable notch and mount the camera stand to the surface using the provided screws.
-
Use a Philips head screwdriver (not included) to loosen the adjustment screw shown below. Adjust the camera position as needed:
-
Tighten the adjustment screw to secure the position.
-
Remove the vinyl film from the camera lens when your installation is complete.
Connecting the Camera
Using the RJ45 Cable Gland (Optional)
The pre-attached RJ45 cable gland covers the camera’s Ethernet connector and the RJ45 plug to provide weather-resistance and protection from dust, dirt and other environmental contaminants.
To use the RJ45 cable gland:
Twist the RJ45 cable gland barrel securely onto the camera Ethernet connector.
NOTE: The RJ45 cable gland is weather-resistant. Seal the cap with silicone and/or electrical tape for additional sealing if it will be exposed to precipitation regularly.

Cable Extension Options
Extend the Ethernet cable run for your camera up to 300ft (91m). See table below. It is recommended to use UL CMR approved cables available at lorex.com.
- You can use a RJ45 coupler or network switch (not included) to connect male ends ofEthernet cable together.
- To extend the cable run beyond 300ft (91m), a switch will be required (sold separately).
