D --> E["Network Rack with 6 ports and 10x network connection"]
-
Connect the PoE+ connector on the camera cable to an Ethernet extension cable.
-
Connect the Ethernet extension cable to one of the PoE+ ports on the back panel of yo NVR.

NOTE
- You can use up to a 300ft (91m) CAT5e Ethernet cable to connect the camera to your NVR (not included).
• For the most up-to-date list of compatible NVRs, please visit lorex.com/compatibility.
-
Alarm: Connect the camera to an alarm system using alarm output (blue), alarm communication (green), alarm ground (yellow and green), alarm input (red and/or brown).
-
Audio: Connect the camera to external audio device using audio output (red), audio input (white), and audio ground (black).
3.2 Option 2: Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)
For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local Area Network (LAN) a NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to the same router as the NVR. For installations, an external PoE+ switch (sold separately) or power adapter (included) must be 1 to provide power to the camera. You also must add the camera on the NVR before it will picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
What is PoE+?
PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a technology that allows Ethernet cables to carry electrical power to connected devices. High-powered devices such as PTZ cameras use PoE+ (also known as class 4 or IEEE 802.3at), which provides more power to connected devices than standard PoE+ Compatible NVRs use integrated PoE+ ports to provide power and PTZ commands to the camera, as well as video connection to the NVR. PoE+ ports will provide up to 30W to each connected device, whereas standard PoE (class 3) ports only provide up to 15W. In order to use PoE+ rated camera without a power adapter, you must connect it directly to a compatible N or a PoE+ switch on the same network as the NVR. PoE+ switches are available for purchasing lorex.com .
Complete the following steps to connect the camera to the NVR over the LAN.
Step 1 of 2 — Option A: Connecting the camera to your local network using an optional PoE+ switch:

flowchart
graph TD
A["Internet"] --> B["Router"]
B --> C["NVR"]
C --> D["IP Cameras"]
C --> E["POE Switch"]
E --> F["PTZ Camera"]
- Connect an Ethernet cable of up to 300ft (91m) rated CAT5e or higher (not included) from the LAN port on an external PoE+ switch (sold separately on lorex.com) to your router. Connect the power cable to the PoE+ switch and to a power outlet or surge protector.

NOTE
Terminology may vary depending on the model of PoE+ switch you have.
- Connect the camera to the PoE+ switch using an Ethernet cable (or a CAT5e Ethernet c of up to 300ft (91m) — not included). The PoE+ switch will provide power and video mission the same way as your NVR.
- Alarm: Connect the camera to an alarm system using alarm output (blue), alarm communication (green), alarm ground (yellow and green), alarm input (red and/or brown).
- Audio: Connect the camera to external audio device using audio output (red), audio input (white), and audio ground (black).
Step 1 of 2 — Option B: Connecting the camera to your local network using a power adapter:

Auto Tracking6
Auto Tracking is an advanced function on the PTZ camera that allows it to cover a large and to automatically detect, follow, and record moving objects, such as a person or vehicle.
The auto tracking technology is composed of both AI detection and tracking. When an object triggers the smart motion plus rule, the PTZ camera will automatically use its pan/tilt rotatic and zoom feature to lock in the moving object in the center of the screen and continue to it without missing any details.
