MODEL VT38A OWNER'S MANUAL
I NTRODUCTION
Your Wireless Motion Activated Camera consists of a Color Video Camera with
built-in 2.4 GHz transmitter. It is activated by its built-in Motion Sensor so that
when someone approaches your home, the camera turns on and also turns on
the attached floodlights to light up the area that the camera sees (bulbs not
included). The camera transmits its picture and sound via a built-in 2.4 GHz
transmitter, to a Video Receiver (sold separately) which you connect to a TV
anywhere in your home. The Camera sends the wireless signals (even through
walls, up to 100 ft.). The Video Receiver converts the signals back to video and
audio signals and feeds them through a cable to your TV's COAX or A/V input
jacks.
You can purchase additional Motion Activated Cameras (up to 4) so you can
have a multiple camera system. You can then set all cameras to the same
channel as the receiver and turn the cameras on and off remotely so as to only
ever have one camera turned on at a time, and displayed on your TV.
FCC CAUTION
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.
OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS:
(1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND
(2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING
INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and
used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions, it
may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and
found to comply with the limits for remote control devices in accordance with the
specifications in Sub-Parts B and C of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by unplugging the equipment, try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures.
• Reorient the antenna of the radio/TV experiencing the interference.
• Relocate the equipment with respect to the radio/TV.
• Move the equipment away from the radio/TV.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet on a different electrical circuit from the radio/TV
experiencing the interference.
• If necessary, consult your local Dealer for additional suggestions.

SSEMBLY
Referring to the diagram below:
You can install the motion activated camera in a wall box that is power at all
times or in a wall box that is controlled by a wall switch, but if it is powered
from a wall switch, make sure you leave the switch on at all times. Turning the
switch off will completely disable the motion activated camera.

UTION
CAUTION
UTION:: To prevent severe damage to the unit, do not connect it to a wall
box that is controlled by any kind of dimmer of remote controlled switch.
WARNING: Before making the following connections, be sure the power to
the junction box you are installing the motion activated camera into is turned
off. If not, a serious shock hazard will exist.
1. Install the gasket (supplied) onto the junctions box, and route the house
wiring through the gasket.
2. Connect the house wiring's bare copper wired to the grounding screw on
the mounting plate.
3. Connect WHITE wire from the motion activated camera to the house
wiring's WHITE wire, using a wire nut.
4. Connect BLACK wire from the motion activated camera to the house
wiring's BLACK wire, using a wire nut.
Make sure no bare whiskers of wire stick out (cover with electrical tape if
necessary).
5. Secure the mounting plate to the junction box using the screws supplied.
6. Secure the insulating ring in each lamp holder and screw in a bulb (max
150W, not supplied) into each lamp holder.
CONTROLS
AND
CONNECTIONS
Your motion activated camera turns on whenever someone approaches your
home and also turns on the connected floodlights to light up the area that the
camera sees. The camera transmits its picture and sound to a 2.4 GHz
receiver (sold separately) which you connect to your TV. Open the lid on the
underside of the motion activated camera to reveal the controls below.
You set the channel switch (A, B, C, or
D) to match the setting on the receiver.

Receiver. Connect the other end to your TV
(use Yellow for video, and either L or R
channel for audio). Note, VR36A receivers
do not have an audio output.
2. Plug the Video Receiver's Power Supply jack
into the Video Receiver and plug the power
supply into a 120 volt wall outlet.
3. Turn the Video Receiver's power switch (on
side of unit) on.
4. Set the channel switch to the same letter as you set on the camera, A, B, C,
or D.
5. Position the Video Receiver in a convenient location such as on top of the TV
and orient the antenna so that the flat side points in the direction where you
set up the Camera.

F INE T UNING
YOUR
SYSTEM
The Wireless Motion Activated Camera usually works best with the flat faces of
the antennas on the Camera and Receiver unit facing each other (see diagram
below). Sometimes, however, reflections and other effects in the home may
affect the signal so that some adjustment of either the Sender or Receiver
antenna may be necessary to get the best the signal.

ROUBLESHOOTING
If you do not see a picture on your TV
TV::
Check that the receiver and the camera are on the same letter channel (A, B,
C, or D). The channel switch on the camera is located under the lid on the
bottom of the unit. Make sure you close the lid and screw it tightly shut
afterwards.
There is a power light on the front of the receiver. Check that the power switch
on the side of the receiver is ON.
Verify that your connections to the TV are correct. If you are using the RCA
jacks, make sure you are using the appropriate input mode for your TV, try
pressing the A-B button or Video button on your TV's remote to change the
input mode (consult your TV's owner's manual, if necessary). If you are using
the Coax cable (VR31A receiver only), verify that the Receiver and the TV are
on the same channel (3 or 4).
If you connected the Receiver to a VCR and then connected the VCR to your TV,
you might need to turn the VCR OFF to see the camera picture on your TV. Or
you might need to turn the VCR on, AND set it to record the picture from the
camera, in order to see the picture on your TV. Or you might need to press the
A-B button on your VCR's remote control. Consult your VCR's owner's manual
from more information.
If you get a picture but the quality is poor:
Take a look at what the video signal is passing through or near to get to the
receiver. Metal objects and electromagnetic fields can distort the signal. Try to
keep the receiver as far away from other devices as the RCA or Coax cables
allow. In most cases, relocating the transmitter or receiver a few feet is enough
to avoid the source of interference.
Try unplugging/turning off any electromagnetic interference producing devices,
such as a microwave oven, baby monitor, computer, wireless LAN, wireless
speakers, cordless phone, cell phone, etc.
Other 2.4 GHz devices can distort the camera's picture and/or cause buzzing
in the audio. If you are experiencing interference between X10 cameras or
Video Senders and some other equipment that uses 2.4 GHz, you might want
to check the other device's owner's manual for the frequencies of each channel
that it uses. X10 cameras and Video Senders use the following frequencies:
Channel A: 2.411 GHz, Chan B: 2.434 GHz, Chan C: 2.453 GHz, Chan D:
2.473 GHz We recommend using a frequency on the other device that is
farthest from channel A or D, depending on which side of the band the other
device is transmitting. Otherwise you will need to discontinue use of the device
while using our video equipment.
If you are having difficulty turning the camera on/off remotely:
Try plugging the transceiver (the module with the antenna) into a different AC
outlet.
How do you focus the camera?
The motion activated camera is shipped preset to be in focus for normal use,
but if you want to change the focus you can remove the clear plastic cover and
rotate the inner portion of the lens. It might be a bit tight. Try turning it
counterclockwise first. If you turn it clockwise do not force or over tighten it.
Replace the clear plastic cover to keep the rain out.
If the motion sensor doesn't see you:
Check the dusk control setting to see if it is set to detect motion at all times or
only at night. Adjust if necessary.
Check that you are walking across the path of the sensor. It is more sensitive in
this direction than if you walk towards it.
