INTRODUCTION Section 1

The Response Wireless Colour Camera CCTV System is a monitoring system designed

to help protect your home or office.

SAFETY AND INSTALLATION TIPS:

Do not attempt to open the units with the power adaptor plug connected to avoid any risk

of personal injury.

When installing CCTV camera(s), always follow manufacturer’s advice when using power
tools, steps, ladders, etc. and wear suitable protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles) when
drilling holes. Before drilling holes through walls check for hidden electricity cables and
water pipes. The use of a cable/pipe detector is advisable.

When installing the wireless camera(s) on an external wall, pass the power cable through
the wall as close as possible to the camera to prevent/reduce the chances of the cables
being tampered with. After drilling any hole though an external wall for cable(s), ensure
the hole is sealed up around the cable using a sealant to prevent drafts.

To prevent a fire or electrical shock hazard, do not attempt to open the housing while the
unit is exposed to rain, water or wet conditions. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

DEVICE OPERATING RANGE:

The wireless camera is capable of transmitting up to 100m in open field conditions. However,

when installed around your property, any solid objects (e.g. walls, ceiling, reinforced PVC
doors, etc.) placed between the camera and receiver will reduce the range. For best
transmission, avoid installations where there are very thick walls or major obstructions
between the wireless camera and receiver. Avoid installing the camera or receiver next to a
metal radiator, wireless router, or microwave oven.

If at any stage this kit is used with a Digital Video image Recorder (DVR) to record/ viewed
video on the TV, ensure the signal reception is the best possible reception (i.e, no interference
lines viewed on the TV) between the camera and receiver. If necessary reduce the distance
between the camera and receiver to prevent any interference on the picture. This is important
to prevent the DVR from capturing any unnecessary recordings of interference when set to
motion record. You may find that if the wireless camera is installed outside the property, the
maximum operating range without interference may be no more than 10m (provided only
single brick wall acts as a barrier between the camera and receiver).

3.3 Wireless Camera Installation

Mount the camera in a selected location using the fixing screws and plugs supplied. If the

camera is installed outdoors on an external wall you will need to drill a cable entry hole of
around 15mm for the cable to pass through the wall. Feed the camera’s cable through the
cable entry hole into the property, so that all connections are made inside.

Ensure that there is a mains power socket internally located near to the camera for power.
After installing the camera, seal the cable hole using a suitable sealant to prevent drafts.

Loosen this nut by hand and
unscrew the bracket if ceiling
mounting is desired

Note: in this mounting position,
the Camera body needs to be
slightly tilted to prevent the
antenna from touching the wall

3. Turn ON your TV and VCR or DVR.

4. Playback a tape on the VCR or recorded video on the DVR to confirm your TV is on
the correct channel.

5. Tune the input viewing channel of the VCR or DVR until your camera appears on
screen. If you are unable to tune the VCR or DVR, consult the VCR /DVR instruction
manual or contact its manufacturer*.

*To tune the TV or VCR/DVR to view the camera, press the button associated with,
Source, Line In, L1, L2, AUX, A/ V, channel 0 etc. Consult the TV or VCR/DVR instruction
manual for details about changing the input channel on the device.

Note: By default the camera and receiver will be set to channel 1. If poor reception is

received by any camera set to a specific channel and adjusting the orientation of the
receiver’s antenna doesn’t help, then set the camera to another unused channel. See below.

4.3 Setting the Camera Channel (Optional)

The wireless camera has 4 selectable channels to avoid any interference from any other

wireless devices. Follow the steps below to set or change the frequency channel of the
camera. If you are adding another camera to an existing system, then ensure it’s channel
is set to a different channel to the existing camera(s).

1. Pull open the rubber flap on the camera’s power cable.

2. Locate the 2 dip switches under the rubber flap.

3. Set the camera channel as per the switch configuration
below using the DIP switch tool provided. Do not set
multiple cameras on the same channel or interference
may appear on screen.

Note: It is possible to link up to 4 wirefree cameras to the receiver; however you may need

to adjust the orientation of the antenna on the receiver depending on the reception of the
channel being viewed.

4.4 Setting the Receiver Channel (Optional)

The wireless receiver is capable of receiving up to 4 separate channels. The front of the

wireless receiver has 4 LEDs representing the 4 channels of the receiver. When lit, the
LED will indicate which channel is currently being displayed. In the diagram below CH1
is lit up indicating channel 1 will be displayed on the screen.

The wireless receiver allows you to manually switch between active channels by pushing
the SET button. (The orientation of the channels when pressing the ‘SET’ button each
time is CH1 to CH2 to CH3 to CH4 and back to CH1).

4.5 Night Vision

The Camera has built-in Infra-red LEDs to allow you to view up to a distance of 7m at night

for 24hrs surveillance. The LEDs will automatically activate at night and the picture
viewed will turn to black and white.

4.6 Camera and Interference

The wireless camera operates on the 2.4GHz frequency. Some devices such as wireless

broadband routers, microwaves, cordless phones can cause interference and affect picture
quality as they use the same frequency. If you are experiencing interference or poor image
quality try the following steps:

-move or orient the camera in a different location.

- adjust the receiver’s antenna.

- limit the number of walls, floors between the camera and receiver as this can
dramatically alter picture quality.

- dense materials such as concrete or metal will impede the wireless signal; move the
camera and/or receiver away from dense materials. A metal radiator is an example.

-ifpossible keep the camera and receiver away from or move conflicting devices such
as wireless routers, microwaves, cordless phones.

- make sure all Cameras are set to different channels.

- disconnect all other wireless devices to find out which is causing the problem and
adjust your setup accordingly.

- some wireless signals may originate from nearby homes or businesses; in this case a
wired camera may be necessary.

-ifusing the wireless camera kit with a DVR which is set to motion record, ensure that
the best possible reception can be viewed from the wireless camera. If necessary
move the camera closer to the receiver to prevent any interference from being viewed.
Interference will cause the DVR to trigger and record the interference unnecessarily.

TROUBLE SHOOTING Section 5

PROBLEM SOLUTION

I can’t see the Camera Ensure the camera and receiver are plugged in.
on my TV and the TV/ VCR/ DVR is tuned to the correct input

channel as described on page 9.

A white image appears The camera’s infra-red LEDs shine invisible light
at night that reflects of surfaces such as glass causing white

light. Place the camera on the other side of windows
or place the lens flush against the surface to try to
improve the night vision or place in a well lit area.

I keep getting interference The wireless camera operates on the 2.4GHz
in my home or business frequency like many devices such as wireless

routers, cordless phones, and microwaves.
If possible keep the camera(s) and receiver
away from these devices.
