Motorola homesight™ System Overview

Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola homesight Easy Start Kit. This guide describes how to set up and get started with homesight using the Wireless System Controller, Day Camera, and Door/Window Sensor supplied in the Easy Start Kit.

The Motorola homesight system helps you monitor activities in and around your home with a range of devices that can be controlled and monitored on your PC. Additionally, with a broadband Internet connection you can receive information from your system by e-mail or SMS (subject to contract terms and service availability), triggered by particular events, such as motion outside a door being monitored by a camera.

Installation Hints

Please consider the following points when mounting the Day Camera:

• The camera must be aimed so that it does not directly face the sun or any bright light to avoid causing

damage to the camera.

• Avoid viewing areas where half of the area is in bright sunlight and the other half is dark. All types of

cameras have difficulty seeing wide variations of light.

• The Motorola Day Camera is constructed of UV-resistant ABS plastic. Do not install the camera wh

subjected directly to the elements.

•

The sensor's range is up to 60 feet (18 m) from the Wireless System Controller in a typical home, depending on the number of obstacles. These can include metal framing, thick walls, and devices operating at 2.4 GHz. It is recommended that different positions be tried for optimal results.
