Installing the Camera(s)4CAUTIONCameras are suitable for outdoor installation, but are weather resistant, not weatherproof. Cameras arenot intended for direct exposure to rain or snow. For outdoor applications, install under shelter pro-tected from the elements, such as beneath roof eaves. The diagram below shows an example of an ideallocation for outdoor placement.4.1 Installation Tips• Before you install the camera, plan where and how it will be positioned, and where youwill route the cable that connects the camera to the power adapter.• Before starting permanent installation, check the camera image on the receiver whencamera is positioned in the same place it will be permanently installed.• It is recommended to ensure a clear line-of-sight between the camera and receiver andto limit the amount of obstructions, such as walls and tree branches, between the cam-era and receiver. Walls made of heavy building materials such as brick or concrete willsignificantly reduce signal range.• If the signal will have to pass through a wall, placing the receiver or camera next to awindow will improve the signal strength.• Do not install the camera pointing out of a window. The nighttime picture will be unus-able due to reflection from the night vision LED’s.• The cameras are pre-paired so they work out of the box. Each camera has a channelnumber sticker indicating what channel they are paired to. If you have purchased addi-tional cameras, you will need to pair them to the receiver, see 12 Pairing AdditionalCameras, page 30.4.2 Mounting PositionsYou may mount your cameras on a wall or ceiling. See the images below for recommendedconfigurations of the camera stand and antenna.#LX400030; r.16602/16610; en-US 6

Pairing Additional Cameras12NoteIf you have purchased additional cameras, it is highly recommended to pair the cameras to the receiverbefore permanent installation."Pairing" is an electronic handshake between wireless devices. Wireless devices andcomponents need to be paired in order to communicate with each other.The camera(s) provided with the system have already been paired to the receiver. By de-fault, the camera(s) included are automatically paired to channels 1 & 2 on the receiver.See the channel label on the camera to check which channel it has been set to.If you have purchased additional accessory cameras, you will need to pair them to the re-ceiver. When pairing cameras, you can select the channel you would like the cameras tobe assigned to. You can also use the steps below to reassign your existing cameras to dif-ferent channels.NoteAccessory cameras (model# LW1741AC1) are available from www.lorextechnology.com.To pair an additional camera:1. Connect the new camera to a power outlet. Place the camera and the receiver within1ft of each other.2. Press , then select the Camera Setting icon. PressOKto confirm.3. Select Pairing and pressOK.#LX400030; r.16602/16610; en-US 30
Pairing Additional Cameras124. Use the arrow keys on the receiver to select the channel you want to pair the camerato. Channels that are paired to an existing camera show the statement PAIR OK, whileopen channels show NO PAIR. PressOKon the desired channel to begin pairing.• If you pair a new camera to a channel that is already being used by an existing cam-era, the new camera will be connected to that channel. The old camera will auto-matically be disconnected.5. Following the on-screen prompt (the selected channel shows the statement PAIRING),press the Pair button behind the camera. You have 10 seconds to press the Pair but-ton on the camera. If pairing was successful, the pairing channel shows the statementPAIR OK.6. Press until you have exited all menus. You can now view live video from the cam-era by selecting the channel using the arrow keys on the receiver.Note• If pairing was unsuccessful, the pairing channel shows the statement TIME OUT. Repeat steps 2~5 totry the pairing process again.• If the speaker begins squealing, move the camera and receiver away from each other.#LX400030; r.16602/16610; en-US 31

Frequently Asked Questions15Q: Does a wireless camera require power?A: Yes. Wireless cameras require two power sources: one connected to the camera, andthe other to the receiver. The term "wireless" refers to the lack of a video cable betweenthe camera and the receiver.Q: How far can a wireless camera transmit a video signal?A: In an open field (with line of sight), a typical wireless camera has a range between 250 -500 feet. 'Line-of-sight' means that there are no obstructions between the camera and re-ceiver. Obstructions include walls, buildings, trees, and certain electronic devices. Materi-als containing moisture (for example, leaves) may also act as an obstruction. Cubicalwalls, drywall, glass, and windows generally do not degrade wireless signal strength.In a closed environment—such as the interior of a house—the wireless camera range isbetween 100 - 165 feet. The signal range varies depending on the type of building materi-als or objects the wireless signal must pass through.The signal range also depends on whether there are competing signals using the samefrequency as the camera. For example, signals from cordless phones or routers may affectsignal strength. Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology fea-tured in the latest Lorex models greatly reduces signal interference.Range Limiting Factors1Reflection Scattering Refraction Diffraction AttenuationThe signal reflectsbackThe signal scat-ters back into mul-tiple new signalsThe signal bendsas it travelsthrough an object(e.g. glasswindow)The signalchanges directionas it passesaround an objectThe signalstrength weakensas it passesthrough an objectNote1. Source: Xirrus (2010). "Wi-Fi Range Dynamics". Retrieved online at http://xirrus.gcsmarket.com/pdfs/Xirrus_Wi-Fi_Range.pdfSignal Reduction Through MaterialsSignal strength decreases as it passes through different types of material. The table belowshows how signals become reduced when passing through different materials:Material Signal Reduction (%)Plaster & Wood 10 - 30%Brick 30 - 50%Concrete Cinder Blocks 50 - 70%Metal & Metal Cladding 70 - 90%NoteSignals that must pass through wet or moist materials (e.g. shrubs and trees) may be significantlyreduced.#LX400030; r.16602/16610; en-US 35
Frequently Asked Questions15The stronger the signal strength, the higher the video frame rate. The lower the signalstrength, the lower the video frame rate.Full signal strength(high frame rate)Low signal strength(low frame rate)Q: Are digital wireless camera signals secure?A: Yes. Lorex digital wireless products feature a wireless transmission method called Fre-quency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). This type of signal is highly resistant to eaves-dropping as it generates a channel hopping sequence using an algorithm generated bythe receiver, which only the camera can follow through the "pairing" function.Pairing is an electronic handshake between digital wireless devices. Digital wireless cam-eras can only be paired to one receiver. This is to prevent interception by third parties, andprevents any other device from picking up the signal—this also means that you cannot pairone camera to multiple receivers.Q: How many frames per second should I expect from a digital wireless camera?A: Current Lorex digital wireless cameras offer 10 - 30 FPS (Frames Per Second) perform-ance. Actual frame rate depends mainly on signal strength (see the chart in sectionabove).#LX400030; r.16602/16610; en-US 36
