Lorex Home Overview

Ensuring Accurate Person & Vehicle Detection:

 

Optimal accuracy for objects between 

5-50ft (1.5-

15m)

 and in the bottom 

 

of the image.

Lower accuracy for objects further away than 50ft 
(~15m) and/or in the top 

 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.

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.

• Angle the camera so that objects of interest appear in the bottom 

 

of the camera image.

• Choose a location where objects of interest will be between 5-50ft (1.5-15m) from the camera.

STEP 2: 

Important Installation Notes

• Other electronic devices such as microwaves, TVs, cordless phones, and baby monitors can cause signal interference.    

  It is recommended to install the camera as far away from these devices as possible.

• Place the camera as close to your Wi-Fi router or access point as possible.

• Reduce the number of obstructive materials between the camera and the router or access point. Concrete, brick,  

 

  metal and wood are the most common materials in your house that can cause poor signal strength.

• 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.

1.  Unplug the camera.
2.  Use the included mounting template 

to mark holes for the mounting screws 

(×2) and cable (see 

Figure 1

).

3.  Drill holes where marked. If required, 

insert the included drywall anchors 

(×2).

4.  Set the mounting plate over the screw 

holes with the 

TOP

 indicator pointing 

up. Secure the mounting plate in place 

using the included screws (see 

Figure 

2

).

5.  Twist the camera clockwise onto the 

wall mount (see 

Figure 3

).

6.  Feed the camera cable through the 

cable notch in the wall mount, as well 

as the mounting surface (see 

Figure 

4

).

7.  

Use a flathead screwdriver (not 

included) to unlock the wall mount to 

move the adjustment arm. Adjust the 

camera angle as needed, then lock the 

adjustment arm (see 

Figure 5

).

8.  Position the wall mount over the wall 

mounting plate so the cable notch lines 

up with the unlocked position marked 

on the wall mount base (see 

Figure 

6

).

9.  Twist the wall mount cover clockwise 

to lock the camera in place.

10.  Reconnect the camera to the included 

power adapter using the optional 

weatherproof USB extension cable if 

desired (see 

Figure

 

7

).

1.  Unplug the camera.
2.  Use the included mounting template to mark holes for 

the mounting screws (×4) and cable (see 

Figure

 

8

).

3.  Drill holes where marked. If required, insert the included 

drywall anchors (×4).

4.  Remove the pre-inserted silicon plugs (4×) from the 

mounting stand (see 

Figure

 

9

).

5.  Twist the camera clockwise onto the mounting stand 

(see 

Figure 10

)

6.  Set the mounting stand over the screw holes. Secure 

the mounting stand in place using the included screws 

(see 

Figure 11

).

7.  Feed the camera cable through the hole in the mounting 

stand base, as well as the mounting surface (see 

Figure 

12

).

8.  Twist the adjustment ring on the mounting stand 

counterclockwise to adjust the camera angle as needed. 

Tighten the adjustment ring when finished (see 

Figure 

13

).

9.  Reconnect the camera to the included power adapter 

using the optional weatherproof USB extension cable if 

desired (see 

Figure 14

).
