Connecting the Camera
3
It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the PTZ con-
trols before permanent installation. For instructions on how to setup PTZ con-
trols, see 5 Controlling the PTZ Camera with an NVR, page 16.
3.1 OPTION 1: Connecting Cameras 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 a single CAT5e Ethernet cable up to 300ft (91m) to connect the camera to
your NVR.
• Compatible with the LNR / NR / LNK Series NVRs, excluding the LNR200 and
LNR300 Series. For the most up-to-date list of compatible recorders, please visit

3.2 OPTION 2: Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)
For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local Area Net-
work (LAN) as the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to
the same router (not included) as the NVR. For these installations, an external
PoE switch (sold separately) or power adapter (not included) must be used to
provide power to the camera. You must also add the camera on the NVR be-
fore it will show a picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
What is PoE?
PoE is a technology that allows Ethernet cables to carry electrical power to
connected devices. Compatible NVRs use integrated PoE ports to provide
power and PTZ commands to the camera, as well as video connection to the
