Yes, the camera supports ePoE technology. With ePoE, you can connect the camera up to 600 m (2000 ft) away using just one Ethernet cable, compared to the standard 100 m (328 ft) limit. This technology enables both power and data transmission through the same cable. The NVR it connects to must also be equipped with an ePoE port, essential for providing power and ensuring effective communication with the camera.

Can I connect the camera to a PoE switch instead of directly to the NVR?

Yes. You can connect the camera to a PoE switch and then connect the switch to the NVR. Ensure your switch is properly powered and supports PoE.

How do I view footage from my phone?

How can I update my camera’s firmware?

1. Contact Lorex Technical Support to request the firmware (for security reasons, it must be provided by Lorex).
2. Save the firmware to a USB drive.
3. Insert the USB into your NVR.
4. Go to Main Menu > Camera > Device Registration > Firmware, select the camera, and choose Update Firmware.

How do I reset the camera?
