Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola homesight™ Wireless Day/Night Camera. A high-resolution color
video camera, it includes a built-in heat/motion detector and an audio microphone. These features enable you to
secure an area, rain or shine, day or night. This Quick Start Guide describes how to set up and troubleshoot your
Wireless Motion Sensor 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 Wireless Motion Sensor Camera detects an event. An event is defined as motion in the field of view of the
camera's heat/motion sensor.

How It Works

The Wireless Motion Sensor Camera surveys an area up to 12–14 feet (3.5–4 m) at a viewing angle of 80 degrees. If
armed, heat/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, which in turn feeds your
computer. This enables you to view the image or watch the video to determine the cause of the triggered event.

table mount, slide the power switch on the base to On.

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 Wireless Motion Sensor Camera is constructed of UV-resistant ABS plastic. If installing the
Wireless Motion Sensor Camera outside, it should be shielded from the elements, such as underneath a porch
roof. Do not install the camera where it is subjected directly to the elements.

• Typically, the camera's wireless reception is good to up to 60–80 feet from the Wireless System Controller,
depending on the number of obstacles. These can include metal framing, thick walls, and other wireless devices
operating at 2.4 GHz. It is recommended that different positions be tried.
