Important Safeguards
Important Safeguards
In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture process of
your video product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. However, safety is
your responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to assure your
enjoyment and proper use of the video product and accessory equipment. Please read them
carefully before operating and using your video product
Installation

and operating instructions should be read
before the video product is operated. Follow
all operating instructions.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and
operating instructions should be retained for
future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings
on the video product and in the operating
instructions.
4. Polarization - Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug.
o A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other.
o A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong.
o The wide blade or the third prong is
provided for your safety.
o If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete
outlet
5. Power Sources - This video product should
be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to
your location, consult your video dealer or
local power company. For video products
intended to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets of
extension cords as this can result in the risk
of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC
outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords,
damaged or cracked wire insulation, and
broken plugs are dangerous. They may result
in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically
examine the cord, and if its appearance
indicates damage or deteriorated insulation,
have it replaced by your service technician.
7. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply
cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the video product.
.
8. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case
are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable
operation of the video product and to protect
it from overheating. These openings must not

similar surface. This video product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or
heat register. This video product should not
be placed in a built-in installation such as a

compliance with your local authority
regulations prior to installation.
10. Attachments - Do not use attachments
unless recommended by the video product
manufacturer as they may cause a hazard.
11. Water and Moisture - Do not use this video
product near water. For example, near a bath
tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in
a wet basement, near a swimming pool and
the like. Caution: Maintain electrical safety.
Power line operated equipment or
accessories connected to this unit should
bear the UL listing mark of CSA certification
mark on the accessory itself and should not
be modified so as to defeat the safety
features. This will help avoid any potential
hazard from electrical shock or fire. If in
doubt, contact qualified service personnel.
12. Accessories - Do not place this video
equipment on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
or table.
The video equipment may fall,
causing serious damage to the

Installing the Camera
Before you install the camera, carefully 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 monitor when camera is
positioned in the same location/position
where it will be permanently installed
Installation Warnings:
• 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
• Avoid installing the cameras where there
are thick walls or obstructions between the
Cameras and the Receiver
• Select a location for the camera that has
an ambient temperature between
14°F~122°F (-10°C ~ 50°C)
Installing the Camera
Figure 2.0 Attach stand to mounting surface
To install the camera:
1. Use 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
Figure 2.1 Attach the camera to the stand and
tighten thumbscrews
2. Screw on the wireless antenna to the rear panel of the camera.
3. Attach 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.
4. Connect the black power cable extending from the camera to the cable of the power
adapter; plug the power adapter to an outlet or surge protector.
NOTE: You can install additional cameras (maximum of 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 49.
