SAFETY AND INSTALLATION TIPS

Installation Notes
Always follow manufacturer’s advice when using power tools, steps, ladders, etc and wear protective equipment (e.g, safety goggles and gloves) when drilling holes, etc.
When using ladders ensure they are positioned on a firm stable surface at an angle and suitably secured. Check for hidden electricity wires or water pipes before drilling any holes. If in doubt use a cable/pipe locator. It is recommended to avoid exposing the camera to extreme weather conditions (e.g, under a gutter which is prone to water leaks). After drilling any holes through an external wall for a cable, ensure the hole is sealed up using a suitable sealant to prevent drafts.
To prevent a fire or electrical shock hazard, do not attempt to open the housing while the camera is exposed to rain water or wet conditions. Do not expose any wiring connections to weathering. If terminating any wiring connections outdoors then use a suitable weathering box to insulate the connections.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
LCD Touch Screen Monitor
keep away from heat sources and high temperature places Avoid direct sunlight Avoid humid places Avoid vibration Install in a ventilated environment The supplied SD card can be replaced with up to a 32GB SD card if required
Camera Installation
Avoid positioning the camera so that it is facing directly at the sun as this will impair
the picture quality viewed.
Avoid pointing the camera lens directly through clear glass as the night vision LEDs
will cause a blurred image at night.
Avoid pointing the camera directly at any bushes, tree branches or moving objects that
might naturally move due to winds. This is also because if you need to use the motion detection feature in the PC software to record movement the software might record unnecessarily.
7
NOTE: The camera has an open field RF operating range of up to 150m.
8

Camera Installation

Secure camera stand on the stable surface
Loosen up the Thumb screw
Adjust proper view angle then secure the joint with T-bolt.
9
Pairing the Camera to Monitor
Follow the steps in Camera Setup section to setup or change the channel of the camera. If
you are adding another camera to link with the supplied monitor in this kit, then ensure its channel is set to a different channel to the existing camera(s).
Pairing Button
Note: If the camera is located within 1m to 1.5m from the monitor and the camera's volume of the monitor is turned on, then you may hear a whistling noise on the monitor which is the feedback picked up by the microphone. In this case please locate the camera further away from the monitor to prevent this noise. If the power connection to the camera is kept outdoors, ensure the connection is suitably protected.
