INTRODUCTION
Your First Alert 2.4GHz MOTION ACTIVATED
LIGHTING CAMERA SYSTEM is a unique surveillance
system for your home or business. The system includes
a PIR LIGHTING CAMERA and a Wireless Receiver.
Using the Wireless Receiver as a bridge to connect to
your TV, you will see and hear rea l-time vide o 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 the camera images can
be 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
4-channel wireless system avoids interference. Two
operation options let you choose: Automatic Operation
or Manual Override.
Note: Read this entire manual before
you start to install the system.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
z Do not install the PIR LIGHTING CAMERA when it
is raining.
z Be sure to switch off the power at the power source
before installing.
z Make sure that the power wiring comes from a
circuit with an external 16A miniature circ uit brea ker
for the short circuit protection or a suitable fuse.
z Do not remove the adjusting screw. Tighten the
connection of the floodlight head assembly and
motion sensor to the base to avoid any rotation.
The unit is wall and ceiling mountable. (FIGURE 1)

IMPORTANT
Skilled technicians who are informed about the
standards and technical requirements of t he
appliance and its proper installation must perform
installation.
A qualified electrician or techni ci an shall do
maintenance or repairing work such as replacing
current fuse.
Before proceeding with the installation, TURN OFF
THE POWER TO THE LIGHTING CIRCUIT AT THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BOX TO AVOID
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION
z For best results, install your PIR LIGHTING
CAMERA on a solid surface, 6.5ft. above the
ground.
z For outdoor installatio n, 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 hit direct ly on the front of
the unit.
z Try to avoid pointing the un it at trees or shrubs
where the motion of pets or animals may be
detected.
z The transmission range to the Wireless Receiver is
up to 300ft. in clear line of sight. *Quality of picture
will deteriorate as the distance increases.
z Prior to mounting the light fixture, remember to
position the motion sensor so that a moving object
cuts “across its beams, not directly towards them.”

INSTALLATION
Avoid pointing the camera directly at a lig ht source.
When installing the camera outdoors, you should ensure
that the camera lens will not become dusty and the
camera does not point directly at a light source (i.e.
direct lighting or sun light), as the pict ur e quality will be
impaired. Additionally, the camera must be positioned so
that it will not point directly to the sun (sunrise or sunset)
or any bright lights as this may cause damage to the
camera. The best viewing angle is achieved at greater
heights (i.e. 8 to 9 ft) with the camera pointing down.
Also, avoid viewing areas where ha lf the area is in bright
sunlight and the other half is dark.
The ideal position for your camera will vary greatly
depending upon your application. If you are installing
the camera adjacent to your front door , bear in mind not
to position it too far away, as you may not be able to
hear any speech or sound.

OPERATION
By using the wall switch connected to your motion
sensor, you can easily select one of two modes of
operation: Automatic Operation and Manual Override.
(1) AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Turn on the wall switch. The light will be automatically on
when the motion sensor detects motion and will be off
after the motion is stopped or out of detection range.
The unit is active only from dusk to dawn.
(2) MANUAL OVERRIDE
To keep the light on regardless of the motion, you can
override the Automatic Operation. Turn the wall switch
off and on twice within 4 sec onds. The interval betwe en
the first and second operation must be within 0.5 - 2
seconds.
In Manual Override mode, the light will remain on for
about 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, or DVR, serving as a medium to receive the
radio signal from the PIR Lighting Camera. There are
four selectable channels th at can be manually operated
if needed. By connecting it to the TV, the camera images
can be viewed on the TV at all times. It is so
user-friendly that you can complete the installation in a
few minutes.

up to 4 cameras by setting the channel switch. P lea se
note the channel used between the Receiver unit and
camera should be the same. The channel selection
switch can be found on the left side of the Re ceiver unit.
Set the channel on the Receiver unit according to the
following suggestions:
(1) Single camera connection:
Channel 1, 2, 3 & 4 can be chosen. Set one of the
channels to ‘on’ correspondin g to the channel you
set on the camera and the rest of the channels to
‘off’.
(2) 2 cameras connection:
Recommend setting the Receiver unit ‘channel’
switch 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 to ‘on’ which camera will
follow. For example, if you choose t he Receiv er unit
channel switch 1 & 3, then set the channel switch 1
to “on” on one of the cameras, and set the cha nnel
switch 3 to “on” on the other camera.
(3) Multiple cameras connection (more than 3
cameras):
