CHOOSING A CAMERA MOUNTING LOCATION
The Wireless Add-on Color Camera is desiged to be
mounted to a wall. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor
use. When choosing a mounting location, please be
advised:
• The wireless camera must be used with a GE
Wireless Home Monitoring system. The location
of the GE Wireless Receiver or monitor may affect
where you mount the camera.
• This camera is designed to be reliable for outdoor
use; however its flexible design allows it to be
used indoors as well. It is expecially suited for
viewing large areas in low or no light.
• If using outdoors, take time to first consider
how you will route the cable back the power
adapter. The mounting bracket routes the cable
through the bracket providing a vandal-resistant
design. There is a slot located at the base of the
5
mounting plate so that the cable can exit the
cable ran on the outdoor surface. The cable can
also be routed out the bracket and along a wall
and/or ceiling keeping it hidden/protected.
• The universal multi-axis bracket allows you to
mount at almost any angle.
• DO NOT position the camera so that it points
directly into the sun or any bright light as this
may cause damage to the camera.
• Avoid positioning the camera so that it is viewing
areas where half of the area is in bright sunlight
and the other half is dark, such as the shadow
of a building. All types of cameras have difficulty
“seeing” into areas of such divergent light levels.
• In low light conditions, the camera will
automatically activate its high-powered Infrared
(IR) LED’s and switch the camera to Long Range
Night Vision mode. Long Range Night Vision
viewing distance can be up to 60ft, and will be
viewed in B/W.
• The included AC adapter must be positioned
no farther than 8’ from an AC outlet. Do not use
the supplied adapter outside. If you need to
extend the AC adapter cable, 12 ft. extensions
are available by contacting Technical Support at
800-654-8483.

• The Camera has an unobstructed wireless
transmission range up to 200 ft. from the
receiver. Transmission distance indoors is
reduced due to interior walls, wiring, household
fixtures and metal plumbing.
LONG RANGE NIGHT VISION
The 45245 Wireless Color
Camera features Long
Range Night Vision tech-
nology. Objects and images
can be seen in little or no
light up to 60 ft. The camera
uses a special image
sensor that
automatically detects
available light levels.
It turns on/off the
high-powered Infrared (IR) LEDs on the front of the
camera. These LEDs provide artificial light that
allows the camera to ‘see’ in the dark. Night Vision
will appear as a Black and White image. When the
image sensor detects enough light, color will return
to the images.
MULTI-CAMERA SYSTEMS
The Wireless Add-on Color Camera is designed as
an add-on camera to work only with a variety of GE
20 Infrared
(IR) LEDs
Sensor
7
Wireless Camera Systems - 45234, 45236, 45239,
45246. Each system can accept a maximum of two
cameras.
CAMERA CHANNEL SELECTION
Each wireless camera must be assigned to a specific
channel (1 or 2) through the use of a slide switch
located on the inside of the camera housing.
First slide off the sun shield and then unscrew the lens
from the camera. The receiver or monitor must
have its channel selection set to the same
corresponding number.
In a two camera system, one camera is set to
Channel 1 and the other is set to Channel 2.
The receiver or monitor must be set to the 2 camera
position in order to view both cameras alternately
(see receiver or monitor manuals for specific channel
selection requirements).

INSTALLATION
Wall Mount or Ceiling Mount — you will need:
- Drill
- 3/8" Drill bit (if running cable thru wall or ceiling)
- 1/8" drill bit (for drilling screw pilot holes if mounting
into wood or non-brick material)
- 3/16" drill Bit (for drilling holes for plastic anchor s if
mounting onto drywall or brick material)
- a screwdriver.
- Adjustment wrench (included)
Step 1. Mounting preparation
Once a suitable location for the
camera has been selected and
the cable route has been
determined, you will need to use
the camera’s mounting bracket
as a template to mark holes for
drilling. Mark three holes on the
wall for the anchors or screws as shown. Please take
care to mark the center of the holes.
Note: Before mounting camera permanently,
check to ensure the appropriate channel has been
selected (see Channel Selection) to provide good
reception at the receiver/monitor.

Step 2. Cable routing -IMPORTANT
(a) If running the cable along the wall surface,
position cable through slot at base of mounting
bracket before installing mounting bracket (see
figure A).
(b) If the cable needs to be ran through a wall or
ceiling, then an additional hole will need to be
drilled using the 3/8” drill bit. Drill the hole in the
center of the three mounting screw holes (see
figure B). Fit connector and cable through hole
before securing the mounting bracket.

Step 3. Mounting bracket
(a) If mounting to a stud, wood surface or other
non-brick material, use the 1/8” drill bit to drill pilot
holes; drill holes. Align holes in mounting bracket
to drilled holes, insert screws and screw in until
plate has secure fit. Do not over tighten screws.
(b) If mounting to drywall or brick material, use
plastic anchors (see Figure C). Using 3/16” drill bit
(masonry bit, if drilling into brick), drill holes and
insert anchors into drilled holes for snug fit. Align
holes in mounting bracket to drilled holes, insert
screws and screw in until plate has secure fit. Do
not over tighten screws.
(c) Using included adjustment wrench, slightly loosen
the hex head bracket nuts on camera bracket to
position camera’s multi-axis bracket so camera
is pointed toward desired viewing area. Tighten
bracket nuts. Do not over tighten nuts.

(d) Take care to position the
camera in the correct
orientation. To ensure
the camera image is not
positioned upside down,
you may have to rotate
the camera housing so
the channel slelection
switch is positioned above the lens and the light
sensor is below the lens.
Step 4. Antenna Adjustment
Once mounted adjust
the camera’s antenna to
achieve best reception.
Note if ceiling mounted,
you may not be able to
position the antenna
completely vertical (pointed
up). It is acceptable to
position the antenna
vertically but pointed down.
This typically will not cause
any interference or reduce
the reception ability of the
camera. Do not force the
antenna beyond physical
stops.
