Connecting the Camera3
It is recommended to connect the camera to your NVR and test the PTZ controls before perma-
nent installation. For instructions on how to setup PTZ controls, see 5 Controlling the PTZ Cam-
era with an NVR, page 14.
3.1 OPTION 1: Connecting Cameras to an NVR
Camera
(may not be exactly as shown)
Extension Cable
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 lorextechnology.com/compatibility.
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 Network (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 in-
cluded) must be used to provide power to the camera. You must also 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 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 NVR over a single CAT5E cable. In order to use PoE with this
IP camera, you must connect it directly to a compatible NVR or a PoE switch on the same net-
work as the NVR.
NOTE
• For the most up-to-date list of compatible recorders, please visit lorextechnology.com/compatibility
• PoE switches are available for purchase on lorextechnology.com.
Complete the following steps to connect the camera to the NVR over the LAN.
