Multi-Camera Systems
How does it work?
XCam2 cameras are designed so that you can use more than one camera together with one wireless video receiver. You select different cameras using a remote control. The cameras should be set in groups of four, i.e., A1, A2, A3, and A4, or A5, A6, A7, and A8. You change the setting by turning the dials on the camera’s power supply. Ensure all of your cameras are set to the same Housecode, e.g. A.

3.Plug in the transceiver module and extend the antenna.
4.Remove the battery cover and put four AAA batteries into the remote. Make sure to match the batteries to the + and – marks inside the battery case.
