Installing the camera
Example ideal outdoor location
Installation Tips: |
|
|
• 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, have another person check the camera image on the |
|
|
monitor when camera is positioned in the same place it will be permanently installed. |
|
|
• It is recommended to ensure a clear line-of-sight between the camera and receiver and to |
|
|
limit the amount of obstructions, such as walls and tree branches, between the camera and |
|
|
receiver. Walls made of heavy building materials such as brick or concrete will significantly |
|
|
reduce signal range. |
|
|
• If the signal will have to pass through a wall, placing the receiver or camera next to a window |
|
|
will improve the signal strength. |
|
|
• Do not install the camera pointing out of a window. The nighttime picture will be unusable |
|
|
due to reflection from the night vision LED’s. |
|
|
• 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. If you have purchased additional cameras, |
11 |
|
you will need to pair them to the receiver, see “Pairing/adding cameras” on page 33. |
||
|
||
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.
2
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, and plug in the power adapter to an outlet or surge protector. Make sure the power connector is fully pushed in to avoid water getting in the plug.
5Remove the protective film from the front of the camera. If the film is not removed, it will block the built-in microphone and potentially affect the quality of the picture.
Peel protective film off camera

Getting started
Setting up the receiver
Step 1 of 3: Installing the antenna
Twist the antenna clockwise onto the receiver’s antenna jack located on the back of the receiver.
Connect antenna to receiver
Step 2 of 3: Turning 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.
2 Slide the power switch on the rear panel to the "ON" position.
Tips:
•Place the receiver in a location that will have a clear reception to your camera. Try to maintain line-of-sight and minimize the number of obstructions between the camera and receiver.
•Adjust the antenna on the receiver as necessary to provide the clearest reception.
Step 3 of 3: Inserting the SD card
The SD card allows you to store video footage captured by the camera. Push the SD card into the SD card slot on the LCD receiver until you hear a "click." The card will not be flush when completely inserted.
NOTE: The receiver is compatible with most major brands of SD card up to 32 GB. For recording times on SD cards, see “Minimum recording times on SD cards” on page 15.
