Connecting the Camera

NOTE
It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the PTZ controls before permanent instal-
lation. For instructions on how to set up PTZ controls, see 5 Controlling the PTZ Camera with an NVR,
page 13.

3.1 Option 1: Connecting the Camera 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 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 Series. For the most up-to-date list
of compatible recorders, visit www.lorextechnology.com/support.

3.2 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 as the NVR.
For these installations, an external PoE+ switch (sold separately) or power adapter (in-
cluded) 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.
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 camera, as well as video connection to the NVR. PoE+ ports will
provide up to 30W to each connected device, whereas standard PoE (class 3) ports only
provide up to 15W. In order to use this PoE+ rated camera without the included power
adapter, you must connect it directly to a compatible NVR (compatible with all Lorex HD
NVRs except for LNR200 & LNR300 Series. For the most up-to-date list of compatible re-
corders, visit www.lorextechnology.com/support) or a PoE+ switch on the same network
as the NVR. PoE+ switches are available for purchase on
el #: ACCLPS241B).
Complete the following steps to connect the camera to the NVR over the LAN.
