NOTE
Counter / table top mounting is not recommended if you are planning to utilize Person & Vehicle detection
due to limited accuracy. Please refer to 14.1 Ensuring Accurate Person & Vehicle Detection, page 44 for
recommended camera angling to ensure accurate detection.
5.3 Connecting Camera Extension Cables
It is recommended to connect your cameras directly to the NVR. This is because the NVR fea-
tures Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports that are used to transmit video and audio, as well as pro-
vide power to the camera without the need for a power adapter.
You can also connect cameras to a network switch or router (see 4.8 Connecting Cameras to the
Local Area Network (LAN), page 9 for details). If your switch does not support PoE, or you are
connecting cameras to a router, you will require a power adapter for each camera (sold sepa-
rately). Refer to your camera’s documentation at lorex.com for the correct power adapter to use.
1. Connect the camera to the included Ethernet extension cable.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet extension cable to one of the PoE ports on the rear
panel of the NVR.
5.4 Wired / Wireless Fusion™
As part of the Lorex Fusion™ collection, you can pair this NVR with additional Lorex Wi-Fi
products such as, Wi-Fi cameras, doorbells, and floodlights. For more information, please visit
