BEFORE YOU INSTALL

When choosing the best location for the placement
of the camera and LCD monitor, it is best to avoid
any sources of possible RF interference such as
microwave ovens and cordless phones. Proximity
to these and other sources of RF interference can
inhibit the proper functioning of the receiver.

The 900MHz video signals pass easily through
your home’s interior walls, but the signal may be
refl ected by power wires or plumbing inside those
walls. Usually a slight adjustment to the position
of the Monitor/Receiver and/or Camera antenna
will improve reception. Take care not to force the
antennas past their lock positions.

CHOOSING A CAMERA MOUNTING LOCATION

The 45233 Wireless Color Camera can be positioned
on a desktop, or mounted to a wall. It is suitable for
indoor or outdoor use. When choosing a mounting
location, please be advised:

Do not use in wet locations. If using outside,

•
position camera in a sheltered location.

Do not position the camera so that it points

•
directly into the sun or any bright light, as this
may cause damage to the camera.

Avoid viewing areas where half the area is in

•
bright sunlight and the other half is dark, such as
in the shadow of a building. All types of cameras
have diffi culty “seeing” into areas of such
divergent light levels.

In low light conditions, the camera will

•
automatically activate the Infrared (IR) LED’s and
switch the camera to Night Vision mode. Night
Vision viewing distance is up to 10 feet.

If using the included AC adapter to power the

•
camera, it must be positioned no farther than
8’ from an AC outlet. Do not use the supplied
adapter outside or run the cord through walls.
Note: If additional cord length is required, 15 ft.
extensions for the AC adapter are available by
contacting Customer Service at 800-654-8483.

If using the optional rechargeable NiMH battery
(sold separately), the operational time is up to 5
hours, depending on usage.

The Camera has an unobstructed wireless

•
transmission range up to 200 ft. from the
receiver. Transmission distance indoors is
reduced due to interior walls, wiring, household
fi xtures and metal plumbing.

CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO THE PORTABLE
LCD MONITOR

Before beginning installation, we recommend that
you temporarily “connect” the 45233 Color Wireless
Camera to the 2.5” LCD Color Monitor to help
familiarize yourself with the camera system and
select the best location for installing the camera.
The 45233 Camera and the 45236 Portable LCD
monitor will connect wirelessly and automatically
when both are powered on and within 200 ft. of
each other (unobstructed view).

1. Set the channel
selection switch
located on the

1 2

underside of the camera
housing. Select either
1 or 2 for the camera.

2. Similarly, set the slide switch located inside the
battery compartment area of the Portable LCD
monitor to match the channel used by the camera.

also charges the LCD monitor’s battery.

4. Turn on the LCD monitor by pressing the POWER
button on the front of the monitor. Adjust the
volume to the midpoint position.

5. Be sure to charge the Portable LCD Monitor for
at least 3 hours before removing from the charging
cradle in order to suffi ciently charge the battery.
Battery Standby time: up to 5hrs., continuous
