Camera Installation

The following chapter provides general setup instruction and installation tips for security came. Ensure that you review 5.2 Ensuring Accurate Person/Vehicle Detection, page 11 for channels you are planning to use Person/Vehicle detection on.

NOTE

Cameras differ in terms of mounting instructions. Please see your camera's documentation at lorex.com for specific installation instructions.

5.1 Installation Tips

General camera installation tips that apply to all camera models. Please review before selecting permanent mounting location for your cameras.

• Test the cameras before permanent installation. Plan where you will route the wiring for a camera and where you will aim the camera.
• Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (e.g., tree branches).
• Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines or telephone lines.
• Secure cabling so that it is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible, but out of reach.
• Avoid pointing the camera at a glass window to see outside. This may result in a bright ring in the night vision image, as the light from the night vision LEDs may reflect off
• Adjust the camera angle so that it covers an area with high traffic.
• In "high-risk" locations, have multiple cameras point in the same area. This provides came redundancy if a vandal attempts to damage one of your cameras.
• For outdoor rated cameras, installation in a sheltered location is recommended to ensure the camera lens remains clear of rainwater and other precipitation.

5.2 Ensuring Accurate Person/Vehicle Detection

The following are important camera installation notes to ensure accurate Person/Vehicle detecti For full camera mounting instructions, see your camera's documentation at lorex.com.

- Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 50ft (\~15m) from the camera.

• Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5-5m) off of the ground.

NOTE

Accuracy of Person/Vehicle detection will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the object's distance from camera, the size of the object, and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also impact the a of detection.

5.3 Installing Cameras

1. Mount the cameras to the desired mounting surface according to the instructions that cam with the cameras (visit lorex.com for the most up-to-date documentation). Choose a firm mounting surface that can support the full weight of the camera.

NOTE

If you wish to mount cameras to drywall, it is recommended to use the included drywall anchors.

Recording8

1. Configure the following settings. Except where noted, options for Main Stream and Sub Stream are the same:

- Super Codec: (Main Stream only) Click to create (i) / disable (j) Super Codec. This setting will help reduce system requirements for unimportant recordings to maximize hard drive storage.

- Video: (Sub Stream only) Click to enable ( ) / disable ( ) Substream video.

CAUTION

Disabling Substream video will prevent you from viewing the system remotely over the Internet. You should disable the Substream only if you plan on viewing and configuring the system locally.

• Type: For the Main Stream, you can set different recording quality settings for Continuous, MD (Motion Detect), and Alarm recording. Select the type of recording you want to
• Resolution: Select the resolution the selected camera will be recorded at. Higher resolutions create a more detailed image, but take up more hard drive space to record and more bandwidth to stream to connected computers or mobile devices.
• Frame Rate (FPS): Select the frame rate in Frames Per Second (FPS) that each stream record at. A higher frame rate provides a smoother picture, but will require more stop and bandwidth.
• Bit Rate Type: Select CBR (Constant Bit Rate) or VBR (Variable Bit Rate) to determine the bit rate type. If you select VBR, select the Quality from 1 (lowest) to 6 (highest).
• Bit Rate (Kbps): Select the bit rate for each recording stream. Higher hit rates provide ter image quality, but will require more storage and bandwidth.
