Lorex cameras come in two basic varieties: CCTV (closed circuit television) and IP (Internet protocol) or network cameras. With a few tools you can wire either type camera. CCTV Lorex cameras require an RG-59 coaxial cable to transfer the video and two wires for power. You may want to use Siamese cable for CCTV cameras because the coaxial cable and the power wires are all integrated into one cable. IP cameras require standard CAT 5 or Ethernet cables which are just like the network cables your computer uses to connect to your home or office network. Tips Writer Bio
