Basic System Setup4
4.1 STEP 1: Connect cameras
NOTE
This step is for verification of the camera image only. It is recommended to connect cameras to a nearby power
adapter for this step. The Lorex Setup Wizard that runs at startup will assist you in naming and organizing your
cameras, so it is also recommended to leave cameras connected until the wizard asks you to install cameras in their
permanent mounting location.
Option 1: Direct Connection to NVR
Test your cameras prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the
cameras and cables to your recorder. Connect the cameras to the recorder using the RJ45 Ethernet
extension cables provided with your cameras.
Option 2: Connect Cameras to Local Network
You can also connect your IP cameras to your local network for flexible installations. For details,
see 4.8 Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN), page 10.
NOTE
Before selecting a permanent mounting location for your cameras, see 5 Camera Installation, page 13 for impor-
tant notes and installation tips.
4.2 STEP 2: Connect router
Connect the recorder to your router using the included Ethernet cable.
NOTE
To receive automatic firmware updates and enable remote viewing with mobile apps, a high speed Internet connec-
tion is required (minimum upload speed of 5Mbps required for 4K viewing; 3.5Mbps for lower resolutions). All
other system features can be used without an Internet connection.
4.3 STEP 3: Connect mouse
Connect the included mouse to a USB port on the recorder.
