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 set up PTZ controls, see 5 Controlling
the PTZ Camera with an NVR, page 15.
3.1 Option 1: Connecting the Camera to an NVR
1. Connect the PoE+ connector on the camera cable to the included Ether-
net extension cable.
2. Connect the Ethernet extension cable to one of the PoE+ ports on the
back panel of your NVR.
•
You can use up to a 300ft (91m) CAT5e Ethernet cable to connect the camera to your
NVR.
•
The camera is compatible with all Lorex HD NVRs except for LNR200 & LNR300 Ser-
ies. For the most up-to-date list of compatible recorders, please visit
www.lorextechnology.com/compatibility.
3.2 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 (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.
