• Periodic cleaning may be required. Use a damp cloth only. Do not use any harsh, chemical-based
cleaners.
• The supplied cable is rated for surface and in-wall mounting only. Cables for
floor-to-floor installations are sold separately (CMR type). These and other cables are available
at
lorex.com

ATTENTION:
Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the camera and cable
to your NVR.
For ceiling installation:
1. Remove the pre-inserted silicon plugs (4×) from the base (see
Figure 2
).
2. Set the ceiling mount in the desired mounting position and mark
holes for screws and cables through the mounting base (or use
the included mounting template).
NOTE:
Adjusting the angle of the camera is limited with this
installation. Ensure you angle the ceiling mount towards the
desired viewing area.
3. Drill holes where marked. If required, insert the included drywall anchors (4×).
4. Mount the ceiling mount to the mounting surface using the provided screws (4×).
Make sure all screws are fastened tightly.
For table top:
NOTES:
• You may choose to use the included wall mount for ceiling installation. Using the wall
mount for ceiling installation will provide more side-to-side angle adjustment but has
limited up/down adjustment. Prior to installation, ensure you test the camera view to
see which installation is the most appropriate based on your desired camera viewing
area. See “
Wall mount installation
” for more information.
• If the camera comes pre-attached with the ceiling mount/table top stand, detach it
from the camera.
1. With the adjustment ring securely fastened to the
bolt on the table top stand, screw the camera onto
the table top stand (see
Figure 5
).
NOTE:
Skip this step if your camera has the ceiling
mount/table top stand pre-attached.
2. Connect cables as shown in the section “
Connecting
the Camera
