INTRODUCTION

Your EVERSPRING 2.4GHz PIR ACTIVATED
LIGHTING CAMERA SYSTEM is a unique
surveillance system for your home or business
operating at 2.4GHz. The system includes a PIR
LIGHTING CAMERA and a Wireless Receiver. Using
the Wireless Receiver as a bridge to connect to TV
will see and hear real-time video images at all times.
At night, the built-in passive infrared (PIR) motion
sensor turns on the floodlight when it detects motion in
its coverage area, so that camera images can be
clearly seen on the TV for improved night time vision.
During the day, the built-in photocell sensor saves
electricity by deactivating the floodlight. A 4-position
time adjustment switch lets you select how long the
floodlight will stay on after activation. Adjustable

CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION

z For the best results, fix your PIR LIGHTING

CAMERA on a solid surface, 2M above the
ground.

z For outdoor installation, a location under eaves is

preferable.

z Avoid aiming the motion sensor at pools, heating

vents, air conditioners or objects that may
change temperature rapidly.

z Do not allow sunlight to fall directly on the front of

unit.

z Try to avoid pointing the unit at trees or shrubs or

where the motion of pets may be detected.

z The transmission range to the Wireless Receiver

is up to 100m in clear line of sight.

z Prior to mounting, keep in mind that the motion

sensor is more sensitive to the motion, which is
across the detection field and less sensitive to
the motion, which moves directly towards the
detector (FIGURE 6).

on for about 1 minute to warm up. Then it turns

off.
z Walk through the detection area. The floodlight

turns on when you move and turns off when you

stop. Wait for the floodlight to turn off before

moving again to test the sensor.
z Adjust the motion sensor to cover the desired

detection area. See Installation for details.

(2) TIME ADJUSTMENT

The TIME adjustment controls how long the floodlight
will stay on after the motion has been detected.

A 4-position slide switch provides you with four
intervals (5 second, one, five and 10 minute). Before
connecting it to the power source, set the 4-position
slide switch to 5 second. After the elapse of warm-up
period, adjust the switch to the period you desired.
(FIGURE 18).

(3) LUX ADJUSTMENT

The LUX adjustment determines at what light level the
floodlight will start operating when you set the sensor
to automatic operation.

Provisionally turn the Motion Sensor LUX control knob
to the edge at the moon (dusk) position (FIGURE 19).
In this provisional setting mode, the Motion Sensor
remains inactive during daylight. At dusk when you
find it is the LUX level desired for operation, simply set
the LUX control knob to the position which will
become active as daylight declines.

override the Automatic Operation. Turn the wall switch
off and on twice within 4 seconds. The interval
between the first and second operation must be within

0.5 - 2 seconds.

In Manual Override mode, the light will remain on for
around 4 ~ 6 hours despite no motion; then the light
will turn off and the motion sensor will be back to Auto
Operation mode automatically.

Users can also set the motion sensor back to Auto
Operation by turning off the wall switch for at least 10
seconds and then turn it back on.

WIRELESS RECEIVER

The 2.4 GHz Wireless Receiver is designed to
connect to TV, VCR, VCD R/W or DVD R/W, serving
as a medium to receive the radio signal from the PIR
Lighting Camera. There are four selectable channels
that can be manually operated if needed. By
connecting it to the TV, the camera images can be

8

viewed from the TV at all times. It is so user-friendly
that you can complete the installation in a few
minutes.
