  1. Connect the PoE+ connector on the camera cable to the included Ethernet extension cable.
  2. Connect the Ethernet extension cable to one of the PoE+ ports on the back panel of your NVR.

Lorex LNZ44P12B - Option 1: Connecting the Camera to an NVR - 2

NOTE

  • You can use up to a 300ft (91m) CAT5e Ethernet cable to connect the camera to your NVR.
  • The camera is Compatible with the LNR / NR / LNK Series NVRs, excluding the LNR200 and LNR300 Series. For the most up-to-date list of compatible recorders, please visit lorextechnology.com/compatibility.

3.2 Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)

For flexibility, you may also connect the camera to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the camera to the same router as the NVR. For these installations, an external PoE+ switch (sold separately) or power adapter (included) must be used to provide power to the camera. You also must add the camera on the NVR before it will show a 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 PoE 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 this PoE+ rated camera without a power adapter, you must connect it directly to a compatible NVR (Compatible with the LNR / NR / LNK Series NVRs, excluding the LNR200 and LNR300 Series) or a PoE+ switch on the same network as the NVR. PoE+ switches are available for purchase on lorextechnology.com (model #: ACCLPS241B (4-channel model) or ACCLPS281B (8-channel model)).

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:

    F --> G["Internet"]
  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

lorextechnology.com) to your router. Connect the power cable to the PoE+ switch and to a power outlet or surge protector.

Lorex LNZ44P12B - What is PoE+? - 2

NOTE

Terminology may vary depending on the model of PoE+ switch you have.

  1. Connect the camera to the PoE+ switch using the included Ethernet cable (or a CAT5e Ethernet cable of up to 300ft (91m)). The PoE+ switch will provide power and video transmission the same way as your NVR.

Step 1 of 2 — Option B: Connecting the camera to your local network using a power adapter:

9 Troubleshooting

There is no picture at night.

- Camera is capable of seeing in extremely low light conditions (0.1 Lux), but it cannot see in total darkness. It is recommended to install the camera where there is some ambient light (e.g. street lighting, starlight, moonlight, etc.) or leave a light on in the area where the camera is installed.

No image at startup.

  • The camera may take up to 1 minute to power up after being connected to the NVR. Wait 2 minutes before following steps below.
  • Check to ensure your camera is properly connected (see 3 Connecting the Camera, page 4).
  • If you are using a PoE switch, it must be PoE+ rated (PoE class 4). Standard PoE switches are not adequate to power the camera. PoE+ switches are available for purchase on lorextechnology.com (model #: ACCLPS241B (4-channel model) or ACCLPS281B (8-channel model)).
  • Ensure the camera is connected to a router on the same network as the NVR.
  • If the camera is connected to the LAN, you must search your network for cameras using the NVR. See your NVR's instruction manual for details.
  • Make sure that the cable run is within the limitations specified in 3 Connecting the Camera, page 4. All Ethernet cables must be rated CAT5e or higher.
  • If using the included power adapter, connect it to a different outlet.
  • Ethernet cable may be damaged or not connected properly. Check your cable run or try a different cable.
  • Reset the camera to factory default settings. See 10 Inserting the microSD Card (Optional) and Resetting the Camera for details.

No image or camera image is unclear.

- Dome cover is dirty. Clean the dome cover with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use anything other than water to clean the dome cover, as chemicals such as acetone can permanently damage the plastic.

Image is distorted.

- Digital zoom is activated. Activating digital zoom may reduce the resolution of the camera image. Zoom out completely to return to the camera's optimal resolution. See 6.1 Controlling the PTZ Camera for instructions on using the zoom controls.

- Image may become unclear when camera is tilted too close to the camera base (e.g. pointed parallel to the ceiling). Tilt the camera using NVR PTZ controls.

Image is too bright.

- Ensure your camera isn't pointed directly at a source of light (e.g. sun or spot light).

- Check your NVR's brightness and contrast settings.

- Move your camera to a different location.

Image is too dark.

- Check your NVR's brightness and contrast settings.

- Move your camera to a different location.

NVR motion detection is constantly triggering.

- Turn off motion detection on the channel the PTZ camera is connected to. NVRs use video motion detection, which means they detect motion by looking for changes between frames (images) in the video. If the camera is moving, the NVR will detect this as motion.

10 Inserting the microSD Card (Optional) and Resetting the Camera

The camera features a hard reset button that is used to reset all camera settings back to the default values. This is useful in case you want to revert camera image settings back to the default values.

To reset the camera:

  1. Connect the camera as detailed in 3 Connecting the Camera, page 4. Make sure the camera is powered on.
  2. Loosen the service panel screws (4×), but do not remove them. Remove the service panel cover.
