• Accesso all'alimentazione: Ensure a power outlet is within reach of the camera's power adapter cable.
• Fattori ambientali: While weatherproof, avoid direct exposure to extreme weather conditions if possible to prolong the camera's life.

5.2 Montaggio della telecamera

1. Choose a suitable mounting surface (wall or ceiling).
2. Use the included mounting template (if provided) or mark the screw holes using the camera base as a guide.
3. Drill pilot holes for the screws. If mounting on drywall or masonry, insert the provided wall anchors.
4. Fissare la base della telecamera alla superficie utilizzando le viti.
5. Adjust the camera's angle and orientation to achieve the desired view.

5.3 Collegamento dell'alimentazione

Connect the camera's power adapter to the camera's power input port, then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The camera will power on automatically.

5.4 Pairing with a Receiver (if applicable)

If your system requires manual pairing, refer to your Lorex receiver's manual for specific instructions. Typically, this involves activating a pairing mode on both the camera and the receiver within a short timeframe.
