Step 5: Connect the IP Cameras

NOTE: Only Lorex IP cameras are supported with the NVR.

Option 1: Direct Connection to NVR (Recommended)

The NVR features integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, which allow you to connect cameras directly to the NVR.

Simply connect the IP cameras to the PoE ports on the rear panel of the NVR using Cat 5e or higher Ethernet cable, and the cameras will appear on the NVR without any additional configuration. The PoE ports will provide power to the cameras and facilitate the transmission of video data to the NVR.

NOTE: The cameras may take up to 1 minute to power on and show an image on the monitor after being connected to the NVR.

Option 2: Connect Cameras to Local Network

Since 16-channel models have only 8 PoE ports, you must connect channels 9~16 to the local network by connecting them to the same router as the NVR. For details, see “Connecting Cameras over the Local Network” on page 9.
