The CAM1V Automatic Camera System is a professional, cost-effective solution for a requirement of Camera
surveillanc e and automatic VCR record ing on most domestic VCR s. The system can be used with professional Time Lap sed VCRs and
Monitors. The system is ideal for Domestic and Light Commercial installation.
The system is i d ea l for u s e when t h e prop ert y is u n occup i ed. If the p rop er t y is u n oc cu pi ed over n i ght or even fo r a lon ger p eri od a n d th er e i s
a requirement to record visitors or intruders, simply have the VCR on standby ready to record and CAM1V system will start and stop the
VCR, only when the built in camera PIR detects movement, avoiding the need to review hours of uneventful video tape recording.
When movement is detected, the system will automatically start your VCR recording, and the VCR will continue to record whilst the PIR is
activated, the system will stop the VCR approximately 30 seconds after the last activation is detected and be ready for the next activation.
The CAM1V Camera contains a library of IR codes to control most popular brands of VCRs worldwide. The system is easily set to control
the VCR by selecting the correct code using the dip switches contained in the Camera.
(See the supplementary sheet of List of VCR Brands
and Codes later.)
Domestic use:
The system is triggered by movement within the range of the camera PIR. This is excellent for monitoring a child’s nursery, or an
unoccupied room from whi ch an intruder may gai n entry. The ca mera when sited outside t he property such as garden, garage, an d entrance
will also be triggered by anybody entering the range of the Camera. The PIR operates at 90 degree x 15M at 2.2m mounting height.
Light commercial use:
The system can provide constant view/recording of any area which may be vulnerable to theft, using a standard TV and VCR equipment.
Temporary use:
The quick installa tion makes the system useful for temporary u se in vulnera ble areas. Useful in the work place to protect secure and
restricted areas, i.e. computer r ooms and drug storage areas.
1. We recommend you to fully test the Automatic VCR recording before mounting the Camera outside or in it’s final position.
The system comes with a
Connection Lead Se t
. This lead set enable all cable to be connected at one site.
a) Connect the Scart lead of the
Connection Lead Se t
to the SCART input on the rear of the VCR. (See figure 4.)
b) Plug in the mains adaptor and connect the Jack plug to the mains socket on the
Camera Connection lead Set
.
DO NOT SWITCH THE MAINS ON AT THIS STAGE.
c) Connect the camera cable DIN Plug to the
Connection Lead Se t
camera DIN socket.
d) The final lead of the Connection Lead Set is a 3m Infrared Signal lead. This infra red LED emits the IR signals to your VCR to start or
stop the u nit recordi ng, so it must be aimed at the front of you r V CR where the VCR Infrared Sensor is located or in clear sight of the
VCR.
e) If the camera has already been mounted, place the front of the camera to face the wall so no movements can be detected. If not turn the
unit face down to prevent activation at this time.
f) Plug the transformer to mains to turn the Camera on.
g) Switch the VCR to the AV channel and the TV to the channel normally used to view video tapes. The Camera picture will now be seen on
screen.
Note: You do not (canno t) tune in the camera picture to the TV/VCR, the picture is automatically on the AV channel. Many
VCR/TV remote controls have a specific button marked ‘AV’, others use Channel ‘)’. If you have a Scart socket on your
VCR/TV you definitely have an ‘AV’ button, although it may have a diff erent description, see VCR/TV handbook.
2. Testing the Unit
a) Activate the system by moving in front of the PIR.
b) Wait for approx. 10 seconds for the unit to send the correct infrared codes to start VCR.

INTRODUCTION
ESTING THE SYSTEM
Once the VCR has started turn the Camera/PIR face away from possible activation and after 30 seconds the system will stop the VCR ready
for the next activation.
If your VCR does not start check all connections and settings, and re-test.
It is possible that the unit do es not have your code , please contact the Helpline for further information.
If your VCR started quickly you do not have to change any further settings – go to ‘Installing the Camera’ section.
If the delay between activating the PIR and your VCR starting to record was unacceptably long, it is possible to change the code to your
specific VCR and it will start immediately upon activation, see next section.
We recommend you adjust the settings and test the unit before mounting the Camera in an external position.
NOTE: Many UK brands are manufactured by one or more of the manufacturers listed. If your VCR operated correctly but your
brand of VCR is not listed contact the Helpline for further information.
We recommend you do not fit the Camera in the final position until you have checked and/or adjusted the system to operate with your VCR.
z
Ensure the camera is not facing direct sunlight.
z
The Camera must not be installed above radiators or in an area where rapid changes of temperature may take place.
z
Prepare the Camera for installation, running the cable between the VCR site and the place where the Camera is to be installed.
z
The cable is normally pre-connected. If not, then connect it to the Camera as per the wiring diagram. (see figure 1). An ideal
mounting height is between 2.2 – 2.5 metres.
z
At this stage, do not fix the camera into it’s final position. The final mounting position will be decided once it is possible to view
the picture on the TV. See above for pa ssive Infrared detection range.
z
Mark and drill out the camera screw holes and fix the camera to the wall using the plugs and screws provided. After positioning
the front of the camera at an optimum direction allowing maximum coverage, turn the locking nut clockwise to lock the camera
in position. (see figure 3).
z
Connect the camera cable mini DIN plug to the
Connection Lead Se t
camera socket.
z
Switch the mains.
z
Switch both the VCR and the TV to the AV channel. The Camera picture will now be on screen.
The Camera has built in audio so you can record sound as well as the picture. B&W Camera also have built in Infrared light which should
give facial recognition in complete darkness within and up to 3M distance.
The operati on is very simple. The VCR should be left on the AV chann el, to view the Camera pict ure turn the TV to the AV channel. To
automatically record the Camera picture the VCR must be left in standby, and on the AV channel with a blank tape inserted. Always ensure
the Infrared signal LED has clea r line of site of the VCR.
Note: If you have the CAM1VC colour camera system, you should be aware that colour cameras require more light to ensure a good
quality picture.
When purchased, the CAM1V Camera is factory set with dip switch 8 at the ON position at the rear of the Camera. (see Figure 2.)
DO NOT
TOUCH ANY PART OF THE CAMERA PCB NOR REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE COVER.
It is recommended to use this mode unless there is an absolutely unacceptable delay time in the VCR starting. Exactly how long it takes for
the CAM1V system to activate your VCR, after the PIR is activated, depends on the brand of your VCR. For almost immediate VCR
recording you must set the switches to the code for your specific brand of VCR.
The unit is supplied with a waterproof seal to cover the dip switches, this should be inserted only after adjusting and testing the unit f or VCR
activation.

IMPORTANT: When inserting the waterproof seal, place the Camera face down and carefully push the edge of the rubber seal in all the way
round.
DO NOT PRESS AGAINST THE PIR LENS WHILE FITTING THE SEAL.
See the list of VCR codes sheet to find the brand and code for your VCR. Note down the code or codes that correspond to your VCR
brand. Please note that some brands have more than one code, therefore, you may have to repeat the following steps to set the
correct code.
Step-1 Ensure the Camera mains power is switched off. (
Ensure the VCR is in Standby and on the ‘AV channel’
.)
Step-2 Using a thin terminal screw driver, set the dip switches to your VCR code.
Note: Dip switch number 8 must be left in the ‘ON’
position.
For example, if the VCR code is 146, only switches 1, 4, 6 & (8) must be in the ‘ON’ position.
Before testing ensure the Camera PIR is not being activated, then:-
Step-3 Turn on Camera power at mains.
Step-4 Activate PIR.
Step-5
If your VCR both starts and stops, then the setting is correct for your VCR. Otherwise, if your VCR does not
start or starts
but does not stop, try alternative codes until you find the correct code.
REMARK: If you falied to findt acceptable code for your VCR, it might be helpful for you to try other codes under other VCR brands
(this may be possible sometimes) one by one as well.
Step-6 Fit the waterproof seal and, install the camera in it’s final permanent position.
