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.
