2. NIGHT VISION FEATURES

This camera is equipped with special features that make it more effective at deterring and identifying nighttime intruders.

2.1 Night Vision

This camera is equipped with IR (Infrared) LEDs, which allow it to see at night up to a range of 60 ft. (18m). It has a built-in light sensor that activates night vision when it is dark. The camera sees in black and white when night vision is on.

2.2 Motion Detection / White Light LEDs

This camera is also equipped with White Light LEDs. At night, the White Light LEDs are set to turn on automatically when the camera detects motion within a range of 9 ft. (3m).

9ft Motion Detection (Triggers White Light LEDs) 30ft Color (White Light LEDs) 60ft Black & White (Infrared LEDs)

How it Works: During nighttime, the camera's night vision sees up to 60 ft. in black and white. When an object comes within a 9 ft. range, the White Light LEDs turn on, and the Infrared LEDs turn off. White light projects up to 30 ft., allowing the camera to view close by objects in color (depending on lighting conditions). After 15 seconds, the White Light LEDs turn off, and the Infrared LEDs turn back on.

This helps deter / identify intruders by:

• Alerting them to the presence of the camera, after they have already been spotted.
• Providing a better view of the intruder's face. The white lights on the camera turn on instantly to surprise intruders, drawing their eyes to the camera.

White Light LEDs draw attention to help identify faces

- Providing color images at night. When the white lights are activated, the camera can view close by objects in color. Color images help identify the intruder's face and clothing.

NOTE: White Light LEDs remain on for 15 seconds after the camera detects motion.

IMPORTANT:

The camera detects motion using a built-in light sensor. Avoid installing the camera in areas where the lighting conditions are likely to change frequently, as lighting changes may trigger the sensor even if there is no motion.

3. INSTALLATION TIPS

• Test the camera before installing to ensure that there are no problems with the camera.
• To maximize the range of the motion sensor and White Light LEDs, mount the camera around 7 ft. (2.2m) off the ground.

CAMERA 7 ft. / 2.2m 9 ft. / 3m 9 ft. / 3m 9 ft. / 3m

• Avoid installing the camera in locations overlooking a public road or sidewalk, as motion or lighting changes from these locations will trigger the camera's White Light LEDs
• Mount the camera where the lenses are away from direct and intense sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines or telephone lines.

• Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.

• Adjust the camera angle so that it provides a satisfactory view of the area you would like to monitor.

• In "high-risk" locations, have multiple cameras point in the same area. This provides camera redundancy if a camera malfunctions, or if a vandal attempts to damage the camera.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible but out of reach.

3.1 Suggested Install Locations

This camera is ideal for entrances and other areas where intruders are likely to come in close proximity to the camera.

Good locations to install the camera are:

• Home entrance.
  • Office / warehouse entrance.
• Stairwells.
• Hallways.

Avoid installing the camera:

• Overlooking a road, street, sidewalk, or other location where normal nighttime traffic is likely to trigger the motion sensor.
• In a location where people or objects are unlikely to come within 9 ft. (3m) of the camera (for example, mounted to a high ceiling in a warehouse).
• Where lighting conditions change frequently.
• In a location that is lit at night (such as a parking lot), as existing lighting may prevent the camera from turning on night vision.

4. INSTALLING THE CAMERA

4.1 Before Installing the Camera

Decide if you are going to run the cables through the wall / ceiling (drilling required) or along the wall / ceiling.

• If you are running the cables through the wall / ceiling, connect the power and BNC video cables to the camera before installing. See “Connecting the Camera” on page 12 for details.
• If you are running the cables along the wall/ceiling, follow the instructions below before connecting the camera power and BNC video cables.

4.2 To Install the Camera

1 Use the included allen key to loosen the base screws (Figure 1). Twist the mounting base until it loosens; then, separate the camera from the mounting base.

Figure 1: Figure 2:

Base screws (1 on each side)

Camera Mounting base Twist the base until it loosens; then, pull to separate.

2 Run the cable through the base (Figure 3) and secure it by pushing the rubber bumper on the cable through the slot on the base (Figure 4). This prevents the camera from falling during installation.

- If you are running the cables along the wall / ceiling, make sure to run the cable through the cable notch on the base. This will keep the camera base flush to the wall / ceiling when mounted.

8. CABLE EXTENSION OPTIONS

You can extend the cable run for your camera up to 300 ft. depending on the cable type used. See table below:

Option Cable Type Max Cable		Run Distance	Max. # of Extensions
1 Regular BNC(supplied with camera)		180 ft. / 55m 3
2 'RG59' or 'Coax' or 'Coaxial' BNC (sold separately)		300 ft. / 92m 5
3 Lorex Universal Cable(sold separately)		300 ft. / 92m 3

Notes:

1 For optimal performance, consider using option 2 or 3. It is best to use the same cable type for the entire distance.
2 Cable run recommendation based on typical camera power consumption (up to 500mA). For specialty cameras with higher current consumption, maximum cable run may be reduced. Consider providing power to the camera at the camera side, rather than at the end of the extension cable.
3 Indicators that your cable run may be too long:

• Video is permanently black & white (even during day time).
- Video is distorted.
