INTRODUCTION
This manual is applicable for the following products:
MemoCam
MemoCam Plus
MemoCam DVR
MemoCam Plus/S
MemoCam is a complete stand-alone digital CCTV system in a
single device. It is a high performance camera with automatic
digital recording features contained in a single compact
enclosure.
The MemoCam system includes a CCD camera, a video
compression engine, a removable Multimedia card, and a
Passive Infrared (PIR) detector.
The MemoCam unit automatically records events on the
Multimedia card following an alarm trigger. The trigger can be
activated by an external open contact or the internal PIR
detector. Single snapshots can be recorded using the external
remote control unit.
MemoCam Plus supports the use of two additional cameras,
video motion detection (VMD), and video output capability.
Figure 1. MemoCam Plus
¡ 1
MemoCam DVR does not contain a camera or PIR, but can
support up to three external cameras, video motion detection
(VMD), and video output capability.
Figure 2. MemoCam DVR
All images are stored in the Multimedia card. To analyze the
recorded events on a PC, the Multimedia card is removed from
the MemoCam unit and images are downloaded using a
Multimedia card reader and the MemoCam software.
One or more stand-alone units can be placed at different site
locations. The units are configured using the Multimedia card.
The MemoCam is activated using the remote control unit.

Packing List
The MemoCam Kit includes the following items:
MemoCam unit.
16 MB Multimedia card.
Protective card cover (MemoCam Plus only).
Mounting Kit (brackets).
Power Supply.
IR Remote Control Unit and 2 AAA Batteries.
Software CD.
MemoCam Installation Manual (this manual).

Mounting the Device
The MemoCam unit is wall-mounted. However, it is not
necessary to wall-mount the MemoCam DVR.
Begin by selecting a mounting location on the wall. Choose a
location most likely to intercept an intruder. Make sure that
the MemoCam unit’s power cord can reach a nearby power
receptacle. If necessary, an extension cord can be used.
The PIR is most sensitive in detecting sideways motion.
The MemoCam unit performs best in steady light and stable
temperature.
Avoid the following locations:
Facing direct sunlight or light sources.
Facing areas subject to rapid quick temperature changes.
Areas with air ducts or substantial air flows.
Facing areas with high light contrast.
A MemoCam mounting bracket is included with the
MemoCam unit.
Figure 4. Mounting Bracket
¡ 7
To mount the MemoCam unit:
1. Loosen the two pieces of the mounting bracket without
separating them. The two sections of the bracket should
swing freely.
2. Place the wall-mount section of the bracket on the desired
location on the wall, and mark the drill points through the
two fastener holes.
3. Drill the holes (if necessary) and attach the bracket to the
wall with screws.
4. Retighten the two mounting bracket pieces so that the
MemoCam Mount section can still be rotated with slight
pressure.
5. Clip the upper part of the MemoCam unit’s holder (1) to
the bracket and rotate, as indicated in Figure 5, until the
MemoCam unit snaps into place (2).
6. Adjust the position of the MemoCam unit by moving it
slowly up/down and left/right to the desired position.
7. Remove the MemoCam unit carefully from the bracket
without changing the bracket position.
8. Tighten the two mounting bracket pieces firmly to prevent
further movement.
9. Re-attach the MemoCam unit to the bracket as indicated
in step 5 above.

Connecting the Power Supply
Connect the power adapter to the power connector coming
out of the MemoCam unit.
Plug the power supply unit into a wall socket. The MemoCam
status LED indicators illuminate (refer to LED Indicators on
page 18 for details).

Optional Connections (Advanced Features)
Optional security system devices can be connected to the
MemoCam unit. These external elements include cameras,
video monitors (in MemoCam Plus and DVR), battery backups,
detectors, and control panels.
To connect external elements to the MemoCam unit, you must
remove the MemoCam unit’s front cover by unscrewing the
holding screw on the bottom end of the device as shown in
Figure 7.
10 ¡
Figure 7. Removing the MemoCam Front Cover
MemoCam Terminal Blocks
The MemoCam unit’s printed circuit board contains a wireconnection terminal block, six separate terminal blocks and a
jumper as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. MemoCam Plus/DVR Terminal Block
MemoCam does not have the video terminals.
MemoCam DVR has a factory-connected cable for Video In 1.
¡ 11
Terminal Wire Connections
The terminal block wire connections are described in Table 1.
The terminal block can be used to connect the MemoCam
power sources as follows:
Single Power Source – The MemoCam unit is powered by
a 12VDC, 500mA power supply that feeds both the PIR
and the video circuits. The MemoCam DVR is powered by
a 12 VDC, 400mA power supply.
Dual Power Source – The MemoCam unit can be
connected to a normal power supply and a backup power
source. In this configuration, when the ordinary power
supply is not available, the backup battery powers only the
PIR, and thus can still activate an alarm. The MemoCam
cannot record images in backup power mode.
The jumper is used as follows:
Installed (Default) – The MemoCam unit is powered by a
single DC power supply connected between terminals 1
and 2.
Not Installed – In this mode, the MemoCam unit can be
connected to a backup power supply such as UPS or a
battery from an alarm panel, in addition to the main
power supply. The backup power supply is connected
between terminals 1 and 2, feeding the PIR, while the
video circuits can be fed by an ordinary power supply via
terminals 1 and 3.

cameras (internal and external in MemoCam Plus, and all
external cameras in MemoCam DVR).
Connecting an External Device
To connect an external device to the MemoCam unit:
1. Open one of the pre-marked wire access holes (Figure 10)
on the top end of the MemoCam unit.
2. Insert the device wires through the wire access hole.
3. Connect the wires (Figure 11) from the connectors on the
terminal block as shown in Figure 8.
If you are connecting a backup power device, ensure that the
jumper is not connected.
4. Reposition the unit’s cover and fasten the holding screw
(Figure 7).

The MemoCam Plus/S unit has a built-in RS485 serial port
(optional RS-232).
You must allocate a different RS-485 address for each
MemoCam Plus/S unit installed on a parallel RS-485 line.
The RS-485 address range is 0-31. You can install up to 32
MemoCam Plus/S units on the same line. On the
