Connecting the Camera
It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the Pan-Tilt controls before
permanent installation. For instructions on how to setup Pan-Tilt controls, see 6 Controlling
the PT Camera with an NVR, page 21.
4.1 OPTION 1: Connecting Cameras to an NVR
1. Connect the Ethernet connector on the camera cable to the included
Ethernet extension cable.
2. Connect the Ethernet extension cable to one of the PoE ports on the back
panel of your NVR.
•
You can use a single CAT5e Ethernet cable up to 300ft (91m) to connect the camera to
your NVR.
•
The camera is compatible with Lorex NVRs only. For a full list of compatible recorders,
visit www.lorextechnology.com/compatibility.
4.2 OPTION 2: Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)
For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local Area Net-
work (LAN) as the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to
the same router as the NVR. For these installations, an external PoE switch
(sold separately) or power adapter (not included) must be used to provide
power to the camera. You also must add the camera on the NVR before it will
show a picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
