Installation Tips

•  See images to the right for ideal setup.

 It is recommended to place 

your camera at least 7ft (2.1m) above the ground and angle it slightly 
downward toward the monitoring area, excluding any busy areas (e.g., 
sidewalks or roadways). 

• Ensure the camera image is free of obstructions (e.g., tree branches).
• Position the camera no more than 20ft (6.1m) away from the area you 

wish to monitor.

• See the “Optimizing Motion Detection” section to customize motion 

settings for each camera on your system.

• For best performance, position the camera so that objects of interest 

will move from side-to-side across the camera image, rather than 
moving towards or away from the camera.

• Install the camera within range of the recorder (noted in the camera’s 

WTIGMƼGEXMSRW

• Test your camera’s connection to the recorder prior to selecting a 

permanent mounting location.

• This camera is weather resistant for outdoor use (IP66 rated). 

Installation in a sheltered location is recommended.

• Live video is being viewed too frequently. Viewing live video often will impact battery 

performance.

• Ensure you have set an active area and distance setting for motion detection to reduce false 

alarms. See “Optimizing Motion Detection” for details.

• Battery life will vary based on temperature, settings and number of events.
• Make sure to fully charge the battery. The LED light will turn from red to green to indicate 

when the battery is full.

STEP 4:

 Pairing the Cameras

Next, you must pair each camera to your recorder. You can pair cameras using the 
Lorex Cirrus app, or with the recorder.

To pair cameras with Lorex Cirrus:

1. From Live view, tap any free 

channel you would like to 
pair a camera to (marked 
with a 

 icon).

2. Tap 

PAIR

. A timer 

for 30 seconds 
appears.

3. Press and hold the pair 

button on the back of the 
camera for 3 seconds. 

 

NOTE:

 

A “pairing successful” message should appear on screen. If you do not see this message, 

repeat the steps above.

U222A Series

To pair cameras using the recorder:

• Hover the mouse pointer near the top of an empty 

channel and click 

• You will then have 30 seconds to press and hold the pair 

button on the back of your camera (shown above).

To install your cameras:

1. Set the mounting bracket in the desired mounting

position. Mark holes through the mounting
bracket (shown as blue X’s on the right).

2. Drill holes where marked for the mounting

screws using the included drill bit (item C in
toolkit).

3. Secure the bracket to the mounting surface

with the included mounting screws (×4).
Make sure all screws are fastened tightly using
the included screwdriver (item A+B in toolkit).

NOTES:

 

• Insert the included drywall anchors if you are 

mounting the camera onto drywall.

• The hole at the top of the mounting bracket 

will be used in step 5, once the camera is attached 
to the mounting plate.

4. Lower the camera base onto the mounting

bracket so the 2 tabs in the mounting bracket
lock into the 2 slots in the camera base.

ATTENTION: 

This camera includes an Auto Mechanical IR Cut Filter. When the camera changes between Day/Night viewing modes,

working.

STEP 5:

 Installing the Cameras

Follow the instructions below to mount the cameras. It is recommended that you 
refer to the “Installation Tips” section to help you select good mounting locations.

5. Insert the security screw through the fasteners

on the top of the camera base and mounting
bracket to secure the camera to the mounting
bracket. Tighten using the included screwdriver
(item A+B in toolkit).

6.

OPTIONAL:

 

To prevent the pre-installed locking screw

from being easily removed, tighten it on the base of
the Power Pack using the included screwdriver (item
A+B in toolkit).

7. Adjust the angle of the camera.

Twist the adjustment ring counterclockwise to
reposition the camera. Tighten the adjustment
