Congratulations
With the GE branded IntelliCorder, you can monitor the entrance
of any home or business and safely answer your door before
opening. The internal Digital Video Recorder (DVR), can capture
the video/audio of any visitor even when you are not present.
The IntelliCorder is a high-quality, battery-operated security
monitoring device. It uses a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor
to detect guests/intruders at your front or back door and projects
an on-screen image onto the internal monitor screen. If set into
record mode, it will activate a video recording, storing it in the
internal memory or onto a SD memory card.
This instruction manual explains in simple steps how to install,
use and care for your new IntelliCorder in your
home, office or business.
