Installing the camera
Installing the camera
Before you install the camera, plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the power adapter.
•Before starting permanent installation, verify its performance by observing the image on a monitorwhencameraispositionedinthesamelocation/positionwhereitwillbepermanently installed
•The cameras are pre-paired so they work out of the box. Each camera has a channel number sticker indicating what channel they are paired to. To manually pair your cameras, see “Appendix C: Adding Cameras” on page 33.
Installation Warnings
•Mount the camera indoors or outdoors. For outdoor installation, mount it in a sheltered place where it is not directly exposed to rain or snow.
•Aim the Cameras to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source or direct sunlight.
•Placethecamerawithin21feet(6.5meters)oftheareayouwishtomonitor for motion during night time. This allows for optimal motion detection.
•Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick walls or obstructions between the Cameras and the Receiver
•Selectalocationforthecamerathathasanambienttemperaturebetween 14°F~122°F (-10°C ~ 50°C)
To install the camera
1Use the included mounting screws to mount the stand to the mounting surface:
•Mark the position of the screw holes on the wall
•Drill holes and insert the drywall plugs as needed
•Firmly attach the stand to the wall using the provided screws
5
Installing the camera
2Twist the antenna clockwise onto the antenna port on the side of the camera.
Connect antenna
3Attach the camera to the mounting stand. Adjust the angle of the camera until the desired view is set. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the desired camera position.
Connect camera stand
Tighten thumb screws
4Connect the black power cable extending from the camera to the cable of the power adapter; plug in the power adapter to an outlet or surge protector.
NOTE:You can installadditional cameras (maximumof 4 cameras). When adding cameras that were not included in the original box, you will need to pair the cameras with the receiver. For details,see “Appendix C: Adding Cameras” on page 33.
6
Installing the camera
Mounting the LCD Receiver
The LCD Receiver can be setup for use on a tabletop, or mounted to a wall or underneath a counter or cupboard.
Table Mounting
To table mount the receiver:
1Attach the Tabletop Stand to the slot on the rear panel and turn counter clockwise until you hear one "click." Continue turning counter clockwise to position the LCD receiver as desired.
Under-the-Counter, Wall, or Ceiling Mounting
1Select a location to mount the receiver, i.e. under a counter or cupboard, wall or ceiling. The location should have a clear reception to your camera. Place the mounting stand in the desired mounting position and mark holes for the screws.
NOTE: Avoid installing in a location which requires the wireless signal to pass through cement, concrete, and metal structures. This will reduce the range of transmission.
2Drill the holes, and then mount the stand to the desired surface using the provided screws. Make sure all three screws are fastened tightly at the connection points.
3Adjust the antenna on the LCD receiver to allow for proper clearance with your mounting surface.
4Attach the LCD receiver to the mounting stand. Adjust the position of the LCD receiver and tighten the bolts with included Allen key.

Connect antenna to receiver
Turning on the receiver
To turn on the receiver:
1Connect the cable from the power adapter to the 5V DC port on the bottom panel of the receiver. Plug in the power adapter to an outlet or surge protector.
2OPTIONAL: To view the receiver on a television, connect the included AV cable to the AV OUT port on the system. Connect the other end of the cable to the television. For details, see “Viewing A/V Output” on page 62.
3Slide the power switch on the rear panel to the "ON" position.
Tip:
•Place the receiver in a location that will have a clear reception to your camera. Rotate the tabletop stand to help position the LCD receiver to your liking.
•Adjust the antenna on the receiver as necessary to provide the clearest reception.
