INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Before you install the monitor and any cam­eras, carefully plan the location for each and
plan where you will route the connection ca­bles. Keep in mind the following when plan­ning the installation.

• This system is designed for indoor use
only.

• Do not install any camera or monitor
where it will be exposed to high humidity
or rain.

• Select a location for the monitor that will
not be blocked by objects or traffic.
Make sure the selected location is not in
direct sunlight or in line-of-sight with a
direct light source that might make
observing the monitor difficult.

• Do not route any of the connecting
cables close to power or telephone
lines, transformers, or other electrical
equipment that could interfere with your
security syst em or with any nearby sys­tems or devices.

• Select a location for the camera and
monitor so the ambient temperature is
between 14° — 113°F (–10° — 45°C).

CONNECTING A CAMERA

The monitor comes with two cables that let
you connect one or two cameras to the mon­itor. Additional cables for more cameras are
available at your local RadioShack store.
Follow these steps to connect either the Ra­dioShack Cat. No. 49-2512 or 49-2513 mod­el cameras.

Camera
Cat. No. 49-2512

1. Connect the mini-DIN plug at one end of
the supplied 2-foot cable to one of the
four mini-DIN jacks (

CA1

rear of the monitor.

2. The other end of the cable has three
jacks and one barrel plug: a white

to

CA4

) on the

AUDIO (IN), a yellow VIDEO (IN), a
black AUDIO (OUT) and a DC 12V
(OUT) barrel plug. Connect the yellow
jack, the white jack, and the barrel plug
to the long cable that comes with your
camera as follows:

• Connect the yellow AUDIO (IN) jack
to the yellow AUDIO plug.

• Connect the white VIDEO (IN) jack to
the white VIDEO plug.

• For the Cat. No. 49-2512 camera
only, connect the DC 12V (OUT) bar­rel plug to the DC12V 200mA barrel
receptacle on the long cable. The

CA

jacks on the monitor, rather than the
external adapter supplied with the
camera, provide the operating power
to the camera.

• For the Cat. No. 49-2513 camera
only, connect the black AUDIO (OUT)
jack to the the camera’s red audio
input plug.

Warnings:

• Do not connect the Cat. No. 49-2513
camera to the DC 12V (OUT) plug.
Doing so can damage the monitor or
camera. Use only the AC adapter
supplied with the camera.

• To use this m onitor to power cameras
other th an Cat. No. 49- 2512, be sure
the selected camera requires 12V DC
at no more than 200mA and has a
matching connector tha t fits the barrel
plug of the monitor’s provided cable
with the TIP +. If you are not sure, do
not attempt to connect that camera.
Instead, use the power supply pro­vided with the camera.

3. Connect the mini-DIN plug on the end of

1

the 79

/2-foot cable (supplied with Cat.
No. 49-2512) into the mini-DIN jack on
the back o f the Cat. No. 4 9-2512 cam­era, or the distribution box of Cat. No.
49-2513.
