PAIR Button-The pairing button is located on the back of the camera behind the stand mount 6. DC 9V Power-Connect the DC 9V Power Adaptor to the Camera. NOTE: The camera can also be powered by the optional rechargeable battery pack. If the camera is plugged in with the AC adapter, the battery pack will not be used. the battery pack is intended for short term, potable camera use. Camera Installation Before you install the camera, carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the power adaptor. Before starting permanent installation, verify its performance by observing the image on the receiver when camera is positioned in the same location/position where it will be permanently installed and the receiver is places in the location where it will be used most of the time. Installation Warnings Aim the Camera to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source or direct sunlight. Avoid installing the camera where there are thick walls, or obstructions between the Camera and the Receiver. Night Vision This camera has built-in IR LEDs, which provides the camera with ability to view images in no/low light conditions. It is important to use the provided power adapter (and not the battery pack) when using the camera for prolonged periods in low light conditions ,as the built-in IR LEDs will drain the battery more quickly than regular daytime use. Adjust EV to get the best image while the IR LEDs is on. - 5 -

Sound Trigger When the sound detected by the camera is above preset level*, the monitor will be triggered to alarm. This will happen in two circumstances, 1) the monitor is in P/S mode, 2) the monitor is in MUTE** mode. *The level is preset by manufacturer, can not be adjusted by users. **When the sound detected by camera is under a preset level(preset by manufacturer only, a very low level), the monitor will shut down the speaker so that you won’t get disturbed by environmental noise. This is MUTE mode. Install the Camera 1. Carefully unpack the Camera. 2. Mount the camera to the wall: Mark the position of the screw holes on the wall. Drill holes and insert 2 screws. Firmly attach the camera to the wall by placing the stand over the installed screws and pushing the base downwards to secure. NOTE: The camera can also be placed on a flat surface, such as a Table or Shelf, and no mounting hardware is required. 3. Adjust the Viewing angle of the Camera. Connecting Camera Power The Camera can be powered either by using the provided Power Adapter, or using rechargeable battery pack(not included). NOTE: Wireless camera requires a power source (either an electrical outlet or battery power) to operate. If you plan to permanently mount the camera in a location, it is recommended to use the included Camera Power adapter to prevent interruptions in the image, as using battery power is intended as a temporary power solution. Camera Positioning The Camera can be placed on a flat surface, or wall mounted. The versatile stand allows for several different mounting options. - 6 -
