INSTALLATION
General Placement Considerations
• The cameras included with your monitor are weatherproof and have an IP65
weather rating. Water can be sprayed on them and they will still work; however,
the cameras cannot be submerged underwater.
• Although the cameras can be exposed directly to the rain, it is recommended
that, if they are used outdoors, they be mounted under some type of cover like
a patio overhang or eave. As rainwater drops start to dry on the camera glass,
it can create spots that will reflect the light from the infrared LEDs used for night
vision, thus causing lower quality video.
• Also, as dust, grime, and cobwebs accumulate on the camera glass, they can
reflect light from the infrared LED and might lower video quality. Periodically,
clean the lens glass with a soft cloth.
Consider the following when placing the camera:
• Clear line of sight video transmission distance is up to 150 meters.
- Walls, especially brick and concrete, shorten the transmission distance.
- Placement next to windows allows better transmission.
• Avoid having a direct light source in view of the camera. This includes street
lights, ceiling or floor lamps, spotlights in the driveway, etc.
• The cameras are equipped with built-in infra-red LEDs so you can use night
vision for 24-hour surveillance. The LEDs automatically activate at night and
the picture viewed turns to black and white. The night viewing range is up to 12
meters. Avoid pointing the amera lens directly at clear glass; the night vision
LEDs will cause a blurred image.
• Optimized motion detection range is up to 12 meters. The farther away an object
is, the less accurate the motion detection.
• Avoid pointing the camera directly at any bushes, tree branches, or moving
objects that might naturally move due to winds. Otherwise, the motion detection
feature may record unnecessarily.
• Out of Range displays when the monitor and camera are too far apart.
Reposition the equipment.
• A Low Battery icon displays when you need to recharge the battery.

Installing the Monitor
1. Flip out the stand on the back of the monitor and position the antennas.
2. Connect the 5V 2A AC adapter to the power input on the rear of the monitor.
Connect the other end of the adapter to a standard indoor power outlet.
# The monitor comes with a partial charge. Plug it in and let it charge for a full 8 -
9 hours before using it.
3. Press and hold the

Installing the Camera
When you are positioning the camera, bring the monitor along; it’s much easier to
get the camera into the right position when you have the display handy.
# The monitor’s battery will last about 1.5 hours on its own when it is fully
charged.
1. Install the antennas (if needed), position the camera where you want it, plug it
into power, and check video on the monitor. Move the camera if the view is not
what you want.
2. Hold the base of the camera stand where you want to mount it and mark the
location of the screw holes.
3. Use the included screws and anchors to attach the base to the wall or ceiling.
4. Tug gently on the stand to make sure it is securely in place.
5. Connect one end of a DC 9V 0.6A for G3700 and DC 9V 2A for G3700L AC
adaptor to the camera’s power pigtail and plug the other end into a standard
indoor power outlet.
6. Cameras provided in the kit are already paired to the monitor. Once they are
powered up, the monitor displays images from that camera.
Adjust the camera viewing position, if needed.

a white image appears at night The camera’s infra-red LED shines due to the
invisible light that reflects off surfaces such as
glass, causing white light. Place the camera
on the other side of windows with the lens side
flush against the surface to improve the night
vision, or place the camera in a well-lit area.
Night Vision
This camera has built-in IR LEDs, which provides the camera with the ability to view
images in no/low light conditions. It is important to use the provided power adaptor
(and not the batteries) when using the camera for prolonged periods in low light
conditions.
