Connecting the Camera

It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the PTZ controls before
permanent installation. For instructions on how to setup PTZ controls, see 5 Controlling
the PTZ Camera with an NVR.

3.1 OPTION 1: Connecting Cameras to an NVR

1. Connect the PoE 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.
NOTE
You can use a single CAT5e Ethernet cable up to 300ft (91m) to connect the camera to your NVR. Com-
patible with all Lorex HD NVRs, excluding the LNR200 & LNR300 Series. For the most up-to-date list of
compatible recorders, please visit www.lorextechnology.com/support

3.2 OPTION 2: Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)

For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as
the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to the same
router (not included) 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 must also add the camera on the NVR before it will show a
picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
What is PoE?
PoE is a technology that allows Ethernet cables to carry electrical power to connected de-
vices. Compatible NVRs use integrated PoE ports to provide power and PTZ commands
to the camera, as well as video connection to the NVR over a single CAT5E cable. In order
to use PoE with this IP camera, you must connect it directly to a compatible NVR or a PoE
switch on the same network as the NVR.
