Installing The Camera - Lorex LW2902 Instruction Manual

Installing the Camera

Before you install the camera, carefully plan where and how
it will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that
connects the camera to the power adapter.
•
Before starting permanent installation, verify its
performance by observing the image on a monitor
when camera is positioned in the same
location/position where it will be permanently
installed
•
The cameras are pre-paired so they work out of the
box. Each camera has a channel number sticker
indicating what channel they are paired to (figure
2.0). To manually pair your cameras, see Appendix C
on page 57.
Installation Warnings
•
Mount the camera indoors or outdoors. For outdoor
installation, mount it in a sheltered place where it is
not directly exposed to rain or snow.
•
Aim the Cameras to best optimize the viewing area:
Select a location for the camera that provides a
clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is
free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong
light source or direct sunlight
•
Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick
walls or obstructions between the Cameras and the
Receiver*
•
Select a location for the camera that has an ambient
temperature between 14°F~122°F (-10°C ~ 50°C)
To install the camera:
1. Use the included mounting screws to mount
the stand to the mounting surface:
• Mark the position of the screw holes on the wall
• Drill holes and insert the drywall plugs as needed
• Firmly attach the stand to the wall using the provided screws
2. Screw on the wireless antenna to the rear panel of the camera.
3. Attach the camera to the mounting stand. Adjust the angle of the camera until the desired
view is set. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the desired camera position.
4. Connect the black power cable extending from the camera to the cable of the power
adapter; plug in the power adapter to an outlet or surge protector.
NOTE: You can install additional cameras (maximum of 4 cameras). When adding cameras that were not included in the
original box, you will need to pair the cameras with the receiver. For details, see "Appendix C: Adding Cameras" on page 57.
