4-channel surveillance
controller
Thank you for purchasing your 4-Channel Surveillance
Controller from RadioShack. Your controller lets you
use as many as four indoor/ourdoor security cameras, a
TV or monitor, and your VCR (none supplied) as a fully
functional surveillance system. It is designed to provide
black and white or color camera observation systems at
your home or workplace. And, you can even set up the
controller so the VCR records only when the cameras
detect motion using the PIR (passive infrared) feature.
Its features include:
4-Channel Input of Camera – lets you connect up to
4 cameras to the controller.
On-Screen Setup – lets you set the PIR, alarm, scan
time, alarm time, dwell time, remote learn, and
clock’s date and time on the menu using the TV/
monitor’s display.
Automatic VCR Record – automatically actives
when PIR has been triggered.
Intercom Function – enables 2-way communication
between cameras and your controller (through TV/
monitor speaker).
Auto and Manual Scan Function – automatically
scans and displays each channel after you power
the controller each time, and you also can scan the
channels manually.
Inline Audio Buzzer Warning – activates the buzzer
when the unit is triggered if you set the alarm on.
