Frequently Asked Questions - LNZ81P25 Lorex

How to connect the LNZ81P25 camera to an NVR?

Connect the camera's Ethernet cable directly to a PoE+ port on the NVR (up to 300 ft/91 m with CAT5e cable). The camera is powered and transmits video over this same cable. Ensure the NVR is PoE+ compatible.

Can I use this camera without an NVR, only on a local network?

Yes, connect it to a PoE+ switch or use the included power adapter. Then add the camera manually to the NVR via the network interface (device discovery) or via a third-party ONVIF-compatible app.

How to zoom in precisely on an object?

Use the Zoom + command in the NVR's PTZ menu. The 25x optical zoom provides clear magnification without quality loss. You can also click and drag on the image to define a zoom area.

The camera does not turn on, what should I do?

Check that the Ethernet cable is properly connected and that the NVR or PoE+ switch delivers PoE+ (24 W) power. If using the power adapter, plug it into an active outlet. Wait up to 2 minutes after powering on.

How to configure automatic motion tracking?

In the Events > Smart Plan menu, enable Smart Motion Plus for the camera. Then create a detection rule (area, person/vehicle targets) and set the tracking duration. The camera will automatically track detected objects.

Is night vision in color?

Yes, the camera provides color night vision up to 46 m (150 ft). For best results, install it in a location with some ambient light.

How to reset the camera to factory settings?

Loosen the screws on the service panel and remove the cover. Press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds. The camera will restart with default settings.

Which microSD card can I use for local storage?

Insert a microSD card (up to 128 GB, class 10 or higher) into the slot under the service panel. SanDisk or Kingston brands are recommended.

Can the camera be mounted on ceiling or wall?

Yes, the included wall mount allows wall mounting. Use the safety tether to prevent falls. The camera supports -15° to 90° tilt and continuous pan rotation.

How to clean the camera dome?

Use a soft damp cloth (water only) to clean the dome. Never use chemicals like acetone as they can permanently damage the plastic.

1. Connect the PoE+ connector on the camera cable to an Ethernet extension cable.

2. 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.

1. 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).

2. 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:

1. 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.

1. 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.
2. 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).
3. 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.
