SYSTEM SETUP
Camera Power Supply Options
WARNING – DO NOT OPERATE WIRELESS CAMERA WITHOUT ANTENNA CONNECTED TO
ANTENNA PORT. Failure to do so will result in damage to the unit and
1. Ensure the mini antenna is attached to the transmitter.
2. Power-UP wireless camera either with the included power supply or with a battery and power jumper
input cables. See examples below.
3. Connect the 1.3mm barrel jack into the bottom of camera. RED LED light will confirm power.
4. NOTE: The wireless camera does not have an ON-OFF switch and therefore the moment you connect
a power source to the wireless camera, it is operational. Important if using a battery supply.
5. See specifications for operating voltage range. Higher than 13VDC can permanently damage the
wireless camera. Lower than 8VDC of operating voltage, the camera may not work.
6. Adjust camera focus as required
7. Do Not bend the black part of the antenna
Wireless operation from Battery power source
is dependant on type and quality of batteries.
Call Tech Support for suggestions.
Only use a VideoComm Technologies power supply.

2. This can be done with a small flat-head screw driver or with your fingers.
3. Do not push in the rotary switch knob, permanent damage can occur.
4. Repeat these steps for the receiver. The receiver must have the same and matching channel as the
wireless camera to receive the video signal.
5. Do Not bend the black part of the antenna.

We recommend using wall plugs to support the weight of the camera. ( Not Included )
2. Insert camera between U-type bracket and secure with mini screws - included
3. Pivot camera up-down as required to achieve desired video picture angle. Tighten mini screws for
permanent mount.
4. Plug in power supply source and re-confirm successful video picture. Add optional high gain receiver
antenna to improve distance or eliminate poor video signal reception.
5. Do Not bend the black part of the antenna

TIPS & TROUBLE SHOOTING
Things that block transmission
Things that block transmission are not always obvious. Consider any obstruction that may get in the way or
reduce the wireless signal strength along the way. Here are some of the most common pitfalls:
• Transmitting through walls in an office environment may be limited if the transmitting path has
many desks, computers and other office type equipment in it’s path. Raise the transmitter and
receiver above desks and equipment to minimize obstructions.
• Steel, or anything with steel in it---steel-reinforced concrete (rebar) or metal window screens, or a
tool-room cage. Aluminum siding, and energy-saving foil on the insulation in the walls are sneaky
killers for radio waves. Some metallic paints or metallic wallpapers also block signals.
• Mirrors block transmission, because the “mirror” consists of a metallic backing on the glass.
• Lead windows will kill radio transmission; also windows that are UV coated may have thin metal
energy-saving film.
• Other materials like brick, drywall or wood, will also cut down on the signal, depending on water
content.
Snow on the Monitor
If there is snow or noise on your monitor this is a good indication
that the receiver is receiving a weak signal.
To correct wireless video image :
• Move the transmitter and receiver closer together.
• Eliminate obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.
• Add a high gain antenna to the receiver for increased range
and signal performance.
