Connecting the Camera
What is PoE+?
PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a technology that allows Ethernet cables to carry electrical power
to connected devices. High-powered devices such as PTZ cameras use PoE+ (also known as PoE
class 4 or IEEE 802.3at), which provides more power to connected devices than standard PoE.
Compatible NVRs use integrated PoE+ ports to provide power and PTZ commands to the cam-
era, as well as video connection to the NVR. PoE+ ports will provide up to 30W to each con-
nected device, whereas standard PoE (class 3) ports only provide up to 15W. In order to use this
PoE+ rated camera without a power adapter, you must connect it directly to a compatible NVR
or a PoE+ switch on the same network as the NVR. PoE+ switches are available for purchase on
lorex.com
.
Complete the following steps to connect the camera to the NVR over the LAN.
Step 1 of 2 — Option A: Connecting the camera to your local network using an optional
PoE+ switch:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable of up to 300ft (91m) rated CAT5e or higher (not included) from
the LAN port on an external PoE+ switch (sold separately on
nect the power cable to the PoE+ switch and to a power outlet or surge protector.
NOTE
Terminology may vary depending on the model of PoE+ switch you have.
2. Connect the camera to the PoE+ switch using an Ethernet cable (or a CAT5e Ethernet cable
of up to 300ft (91m) — not included). The PoE+ switch will provide power and video trans-
mission the same way as your NVR.
3. Alarm: Connect the camera to an alarm system using alarm output (blue), alarm communi-
cation (green), alarm ground (yellow and green), alarm input (red and/or brown).
4. Audio: Connect the camera to external audio device using audio output (red), audio input
(white), and audio ground (black).
