non-regulated, non-conforming power supply can damage this product and voids the warranty.
• Use the camera only with compatible Lorex NVRs.
• Read this guide carefully and keep it for future reference.
• Follow all instructions for safe use of the product and handle with care.
• Use the camera within given temperature, humidity and voltage levels noted in the camera’s
specifications.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
• Do not point the camera directly towards the sun or a source of intense light.
• Use only a regulated power supply with the product (optional). Use of a non-regulated, non-
conforming power supply can damage the product and void the warranty.
• Periodic cleaning may be required. Use a damp cloth only. Do not use any harsh, chemical-based
cleaners.
• Check the packaging of the included cable to verify cable grade based on model number.

.
• To ensure that you are viewing camera video in full 4K resolution (4K monitor required), check the
video output resolution of your recorder. For full instructions, see your recorder’s documentation at
lorex.com
.
• Not intended for submersion in water. Installation in a sheltered location recommended.
• This camera includes an Auto Mechanical IR Cut Filter. When the camera changes between Day/
Night viewing modes, an audible clicking noise may be heard from the camera. This clicking is
normal, and indicates that the camera filter is working.
Disclaimers
Additional Installation Tips:
• Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (e.g., tree branches).
• Install the camera where vandals cannot easily reach.
• Secure cabling so that it is not exposed or easily cut.
• This camera is rated for outdoor use. Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.
STEP 1:
Important Installation Guidelines
1A.
Optimizing Person and Vehicle Detection Accuracy:
• Angle the camera so that objects of interest appear in the bottom
⅔
of the camera image.
• Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 50ft (~15m) from the
camera.
1B.
Optimizing Face Detection Accuracy:
High Accuracy Face Detection Vs. Low Accuracy Face Detection
Optimal accuracy for objects within
50ft (~15m) and in the bottom
⅔
of
the image.
Lower accuracy for objects further
away than 50ft (~15m) and/or in the
top
⅓
of the image.
• Angle the camera between 30~60° down from the
level position.
• Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5-5m) off of
the ground.
STEP 2:
Installing the Camera
Level position (i.e., ceiling)
Optimal
angle
range
NOTE:
Accuracy of person and vehicle detection will
be influenced by multiple factors, such as the object’s
distance from the camera, the size of the object, and the
height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also
impact the accuracy of detection.
The optimal installation location including height/angle for your camera will depend on the
type of detection settings that you want to enable. The optimal angle for person and vehicle
detection is different from the optimal angle for face detection. Based on your detection
preference choose between Step 1A or 1B.
• The camera should be installed about 10 feet above the ground so as to ensure that the
full proportion of the face is detected on the screen.
• Angle the camera approximately 15° down from the level position.
• To distinguish facial features the distance from the camera to the face should be
approximately 15 feet.
Accuracy of Face Detection will be influenced by the distance and angle of the face from the
camera. For optimal Face Detection the camera must be positioned head on to capture a
person’s entire face looking straight ahead. Obscured and/or partially or fully covered faces
(i.e. a person’s head tilted down to look at their phone) will not be accurately detected.
During low light conditions the camera will impact color night vision by switching to black &
white to ensure accuracy and improve detection range of Face Detection. If you cannot meet
the above requirements for installation it may be best to use person detection instead.
IMPORTANT:
• You cannot enable both Face Detection and Person and Vehicle Detection at the same time.
• Face Detection is compatible with certain Lorex NVR’s only. For a list of compatible NVR’s
please visit
lorex.com/compatibility
.
• Face Detection is disabled by default. For more information on Face Detection setup and
configuration, refer to the NVR’s manual at
lorex.com

To install your camera:
ATTENTION:
Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the
camera and cable to your NVR.
Before Installing the Camera
• Decide whether to run the cables through the wall / ceiling (drilling
required) or along the wall / ceiling.
• If you run the cables along the wall / ceiling, you must run the cable
through the
cable notch
on the base. This will keep the camera
base flush to the surface when mounted.

1. Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the
mounting screws and camera cable.
2. Drill holes for the mounting screws and camera cable.
3. Feed the camera cable through the camera base. If you are
running the cables against a wall or ceiling, make sure to pass
the cable through the cable notch as shown above.
4. Connect the cables as shown in the section ‘Connecting the
Camera’.
5. Mount the camera base to the mounting surface using the
Drywall Anchors (x3)
Mounting Screws (x3)
included screws and optional drywall anchors.
6. Angle the dome camera as shown above.
7. Use the included Allen key to tighten the dome camera all the way.
