4K IP Wired Dome Security Camera with Smart Deterrence: Installation

This article provides instructions on how to install and connect 4K Smart Deterrence IP Dome Camera with Smart Motion Detection Plus (E893DD Series) to the NVR.

Before Installing

• Test your camera prior to selecting a permanent mounting location by temporarily connecting the camera and cable to your NVR.

• Decide whether to run the cables through the wall/ceiling (drilling required) or along the wall/ceiling. If you run the cables along the wall/ceiling, you must run the cable through the cable notch located on the camera base (see figure below). This will keep the camera base flush to the surface when mounted.

Installing 4K Smart Deterrence IP Dome Camera

1.Use the included mounting template to mark holes for the screws and camera cable.

2.Drill holes for the screws and camera cable. Insert the optional anchors if installing in drywall.

3.Feed the camera cable through the camera base. If you are running cables along a wall/ceiling, make sure to pass the cable through the cable notch.

4.Connect cables as shown in “Connecting the camera”, pages 10-11.

5.Use a Philips screwdriver and the screws to attach the camera base to the mounting surface.

6.Angle the dome camera and cover as shown in the figure below.

7.Use the included Allen key to tighten the dome camera firmly onto the camera base.

8.Remove the vinyl film from the camera lens once your installation is complete.

Connecting 4K Smart Deterrence IP Dome Camera

Connect the cameras and cables to your NVR using one of the following two setup methods.

1. Connect cameras directly to the NVR (recommended)

Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera and then connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the NVR’s PoE ports. The camera may take a minute to power on after being connected.

Note: A 12V DC power adapter (model#: ACCPWR12V1, not included) is only required if connecting the camera’s Ethernet cable to a router or switch that does not support PoE.

Notes:

• The smart deterrence camera is only compatible with select NVRs. For a list of compatible NVRs, visit lorextechnology.com/compatibility.

• You must connect the camera to a supporting H.265 NVR to take advantage of H.265 compression. For instructions on enabling H.265 compression, visit How do I enable H.265 compression?

2. Connect cameras to a PoE switch or router on your network (not included)

Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera and then connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a router or switch on your network. See your NVR manual for details on connecting the camera to your NVR using a router or switch.

Using the RJ45 cable gland (optional)

The pre-attached RJ45 cable gland covers both the camera’s Ethernet connector and the RJ45 plug to provide weather-resistance and protection from dust, dirt and other environmental contaminants.

To use the RJ45 cable gland, twist the RJ45 cable gland barrel securely onto the camera’s Ethernet connector.

Tip: The RJ45 cable gland is weather-resistant. Seal the cap with silicone and/or electrical tape for additional sealing if it will be exposed to precipitation regularly.

Cable extension options

You can extend the Ethernet cable run for your camera up to 300ft (91m). To extend the cable run beyond 300ft (91m), a switch will be required (sold separately). Use an RJ45 coupler or a network switch (not included) to connect male ends of Ethernet cables together. We recommend using UL CMR approved cables available at lorex.com.

• Cable type: CAT5e (or higher) Ethernet cable

• Max. cable run distance: 300ft (91m)

• Max. number of extensions: 3

4K IP Wired Dome Security Camera with Smart Deterrence: Getting Started

This article provides instructions on how to setup the 4K Smart Deterrence IP Dome Camera with Smart Motion Detection Plus (E893DD Series).

Important Installation Guidelines

The optimal installation location, including the height and angle of your camera, will depend on the type of detection settings that you want to enable. Since the optimal angle for person and vehicle detection is different from the optimal angle for face detection, you will need to select one approach.

Note: You cannot enable both face detection and person and vehicle detection at the same time.

Based on your detection preference choose between:

1. Optimizing person and vehicle detection accuracy

• Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 50ft (15m) from the camera.

• Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5-5m) off the ground.

• Angle the camera between 30-60° down from the level position.

• Optimal accuracy for objects of interest appear in the bottom 2/3 of the camera image.

• Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (i.e. tree branches).

Accuracy of person and vehicle detection

Accuracy will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the object’s distance from the camera, the size of the object, and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will also impact the accuracy of detection.

2. Optimizing face and mask detection accuracy

• Install in a bright area and avoid facing direct sunlight with strong backlights and dark shadows.

• Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 15ft (4.5m) from the camera.

• Position the camera 10ft (3m) off the ground to detect the full proportion of a face.

• Angle the camera around 15° down from the level position.

• Point the camera directly where objects of interest will be facing.

Note: Facial recording without consent is illegal in certain jurisdictions. Lorex Technology does not assume liability for any use of its product that fails to conform with local laws.

High accuracy Vs. low accuracy face detection

Accuracy will be influenced by lighting conditions and the distance/angle of a person’s face to the camera.

• To distinguish facial features, the camera must be positioned head on with a clear view of a person’s face. Obscured and partially/fully covered faces will not be accurately captured.

• To improve the range of face detection in low light conditions, color night vision will switch to black & white. If you cannot meet these requirements for installation, it may be best to follow the guidelines for person and vehicle detection instead.

Mask detection

With face detection enabled, you can set the alarm type to detect if a person is not wearing a mask. A person not wearing a mask or improperly wearing a mask will be captured in the face preview sidebar and a notification will be sent through the Lorex App.

• Enable Mask Detect and Auto-response to remind a non-mask wearer to: “Please wear your face mask”.
