6.12 Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)

For flexibility, you may also connect IP cameras to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as
the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the cameras to the same router as the NVR.
For these installations, an external PoE switch (sold separately) or power adapter (sold
separately) must be used to provide power to each IP camera. You also must add the cam-
eras on the NVR before they will show a picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
Follow the steps below to connect the cameras to the NVR over the LAN.
NOTE
You must use Lorex IP cameras. Visit
with this system.
Step 1 of 2 — Option A: Connecting cameras to your local network using a PoE
switch:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on an external PoE switch (sold sepa-
rately on www.lorextechnology.com) to your router using a CAT5e or higher Ethernet
cable. Connect the power cable to the PoE swtich and to a power outlet or surge
protector.
NOTE
Terminology may vary depending on the model of PoE switch you have.
2. Connect the IP cameras to the PoE switch using the Ethernet extension cables. The
PoE switch will provide power and video transmission the same way your NVR.
