As a world leader in DIY security, Lorex security systems and cameras are always designed to keep the installation process as straightforward as possible. Here's a quick guide to get you up and running.
Lorex products feature simplified installation processes that allow you to set them up yourself.
Lorex products can also be installed using one of our recognized installation service providers.
The connections each system uses follow general patterns to make the installation process easier. Lorex offers several types of security camera systems:
NVR systems utilizing Power-over-Ethernet (POE) technology only require a single Ethernet cable to connect camera and NVR. This cable provides both power and video transmission.
An RG59 siamese BNC cable connects analog cameras to a DVR. This cable is really two cables; one for power and one for data transfer. The power head connects to a power adapter.
Wire-Free cameras are battery-operated and do not need to be physically connected to either a power source or to their designated Hub/DVR. They record on motion and transfer data wirelessly.
Wi-Fi monitoring cameras are easily connected over your personal wi-fi network. Simply plug the camera in, download the App, and follow the instructions to add your camera.
Wired Wi-Fi cameras connect to the existing electrical connections for power. Once powered, connect them over your Wi-Fi network and follow the App instructions.
Many IP Security Camera Systems now include a Fusion NVR, which can incorporate both Wired and Wi-Fi cameras, video doorbells, floodlights, and accessories.
A security system from Lorex includes everything you need to get your system up and running right out of the box. Each camera (whether sold separately or as part of a system) includes the necessary parts to connect and mount your cameras.
Common household tools, such as drills, screwdrivers, and a ladder are also typically required for installation of security cameras, or for making final adjustments and positioning.
