STEP 2: Important Installation Notes

Ensuring Accurate Person & Vehicle Detection:

Please refer to the following installation notes for outdoor mounting locations:

- Angle the camera so that objects of interest appear in the bottom 13 of the camera image. - Choose a location where objects of interest will be between 5-50ft (1.5-1.5m) from the camera.

Thermal image showing a person walking near a car, with red and green color overlays (no text or symbols)

Lower accuracy for objects further away than 500. (-75m) and/or in the top 1/2 of the image.

Optimal accuracy for objects between 5-30 ft (1.5-1.5m) and in the bottom 12 of the image.

- Angle the camera between 30–60° down from the level position - Install the camera between B-15ft (2 h-5m) off of the ground.

NOTE: Accuracy of person and vehicle detection will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the object's distance from the camera, the size of the object, and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also impact the accuracy of detection

Connectivity Guidelines:

- Place the camera as close to your Wi-Fi router or access point as possible.

- Reduce the number of constructive materials between the camera and the router of access point. Concrete, brick, metal and wood are the most common materials in your house that can cause poor signal strength.

- Other electronic devices such as microwaves, TVs, cordless phones, and baby monitors can cause signal interference. It is recommended to install the camera as far away from these devices as possible

Additional Installation Tips:

- Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (e.g., tree branches)

- Install the camera where vendors cannot easily reach - Secure calling so that it is not exposed or easily cut

• This camera is rated for outdoor use, installation in a sheltered location is recommended

Once you have completed initial setup using the Lorex Home app detailed on the front page, and reviewed all installation notices above, select one of the installation methods below.

STEP 3A: Wall Mounting STEP 3B: Ceiling / Tabletop Moun
