2-SETTING UP
Hidden installation
The camera can be concealed in a variety of locations such as behind a thin partition
or inside a suitcase.
Note: Drill a 6.3mm diameter hole in the surface you want to mount the camera
behind. To prevent the camera view from being obscured, the surface
that the camera is behind must not exceed 3 mm in thickness.
The focus on the camera is factory adjusted to allow for viewing through the dome
cover, When used without the dome cover, you must readjust the focus accordingly.
Refer to the following to mount the camera in a hidden location.

The chapter describes the operation of the remote camera.
Operating restrictions
. Only use 9V batteries with the adapter.
.Avoid using the camera in humid locations. If condensation occurs, allow the
camera to dry before operating.
Do not use in temperatures below -10 degrees Celsius or above 55 degrees
Celsius.
.
.Proximity to microwave ovens can cause interference and reduce the quality
of the audio and video signals.
Using two cameras in the same vicinity may result in sound and picture
interference.
.
3-0PERATION
Matching channels
A camera and receiver together form a camera/receiver pair. Set a paired camera and
receiver to the same channel. If you are using two or more camera/receiver pairs be
sure that each pair is set to different channels or there will be interference.
Up to four cameras can be used with one receiver. Each camera must be set to a
different channel. Video from each camera can then be viewed in turn by changing the
channel on the receiver.

Standard always-on operation
Standard operation allows continuous audio and video signals ITomthe camera to the
receiver. The video is monitored on a screen but not recorded. Audio is monitored
through the AV device that is connected to the receiver. (Or through the receiver
speaker when the audio terminator is used.)

REED SWITCH OPERATION
Reed switch operation
A reed switch is a magnetically activated
switch. The reed switch can be used with the
sensor cable for detecting entry through doors
and windows. The sensor cable plugs into the
reed switch and the RlC IN connector on the
camera. The NO NC switch stands for
Normal Open/Normal Closed and refers to
the status of the sensor.

Note: The sensor cable can be attached to other triggers as required.
Reed switch installation
Insert the sensor cable wires into the reed switch and secure them by tightening the
screws.
Set to NO (Normal Open)
Set the NO NC switch to NO and set up the reed switch on a window. When the
window is closed the alarm sounds on the receiver.
Set to NC (Normal Closed)
Set the NO NC switch to NC and set up the reed switch on a window. When the
window is opened the alarm sounds on the receiver.

3--OPERATION
RIC cable operation
The R/Ccableis a relay connectingcable,whichallowsrecordingof audioandvideo
to be triggered by an alann such as the supplied reed switch. This function saves
recording space as recording only begins after an event such as a door opening or
closing.
The R/C cable is connected to the
receiver and to a video recorder. When
the reed switch is triggered at the camera
location, the R/C cable then triggers the
video recorder to begin recording. (For
connecting the R/C cable to a video
recorder, see the recorder's user manual.)
Note: An external alann (not supplied) can be used.
Switching audio output
The audio tenninator forces audio from the microphone and alann to the receiver
speaker. The volume control on the receiver only affects the volume on the receiver
and not a connected TV or other video device.
Plug the red audio RCAjack from the AV
cable into the audio tenninator.
Adjust the volume accordingly.
