Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola homesight™ Wired Camera. A high-resolution color video
camera, it includes a built-in motion detector and an audio microphone. These features enable you to monitor
an area. This Quick Start Guide describes how to set up and troubleshoot your Wired Camera.
Controlling Your Camera
Using your computer and the Wireless System Controller, you locally manage your home environment with
the Motorola homesight software. When configured, the system can notify you of any new events by sending
an e-mail when your Wired Camera detects an event. An event is defined as motion in the field of view of the
camera's motion sensor.
How It Works
The Wired Camera surveys an area up to 16 feet (6 m) at a viewing angle of 80 degrees. If armed, motion
triggers the camera to turn on automatically and begin capturing a still image or a video clip of a prescribed
length. The camera transmits the video back to the Wireless System Controller and your computer. This
enables you to view the image or watch the video to determine the cause of the triggered event.

Installation Hints
Please consider the following points when mounting the camera:
• The camera must be aimed so that it does not directly face the sun or any bright light; otherwise, this
may cause 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 Wired Camera is constructed of UV-resistant ABS plastic. Do not install the camera where it
is subjected directly to the elements.
