Test your cameras prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily
connecting the cameras and cables to your DVR.
NOTES:
• The extension cable must be a single stretch of cable between the recorder and camera.
You cannot connect multiple extension cables to each other.
• This guide covers connecting cameras to your security recorder only. For full instructions on
installing your cameras, please refer to your camera's documentation at lorex.com.

Connect the recorder to a monitor using the included HDMI cable or a VGA cable (not
included). The HDMI port supports up to 4K resolution, and VGA supports up to 1080p.
IMPORTANT: The system will automatically match the resolution of the connected monitor the first
time you use the recorder. If you need to switch monitors, make sure you set the recorder to an
output resolution supported by the new monitor before switching. See Changing the Recorder's
Output Resolution on the rear for details.
STEP 5: Connect power
