System Contents///
Identify all parts before proceeding with installation.
Things to Consider Before Installation/// For best performance, follow these simple guidelines:
*The camera should be aimed accordingly to optimize viewing area. *For best transmission, avoid
installations where there are thick walls or major obstructions between the camera & LCD
monitor.
Installing the Camera (Transmitter)///
1. Unpack the Camera.
2. The Pan&Tilt camera can only stand on desktop. So attach the camera to stand as shown. The
camera can be adjusted by rotating the camera head to the required position.
3. Use the camera power adaptor, connect power jack to the rear of the tabletop base. Make sure
the camera is within reach of an AC power outlet. Once it’s connected with the adaptor, the
camera will rotate one cycle.
4. After the camera rotate one cycle, press “Privacy” button, the lens will rotate to the lowest
position.
5. Select the camera operating channel on the DIP switch on the bottom panel by moving switches
1, 2 or 3 to the down position. Switch is preset to channel 1. 4. After the camera rotate one cycle,
press “Privacy” button, the lens will rotate to the lowest position.
IMPORTANT: In order to access the DIP switch in the bottom of the camera, you need to reverse
the camera and turn to the bottom.
6. The Camera (Transmitter) installation is now complete.
Night vision///
The Camera includes IR LEDs, which allows viewing in the dark when used with the adapter. It
can automatically turn on night vision in low light.
Installing the LCD Monitor///
1. Unpack the LCD monitor.
2. Decide whether the LCD monitor will be wall-mounted or sit on a desk/tabletop. If wall
mounting, refer the drilling size on the back cover of this manual. If using the tabletop base, attach
the camera to the stand as shown.
3. Plug the LCD monitor AC power plug into the power jack on the rear of the LCD base.
4. Turn on the LCD monitor by pressing the top POWER button.
5. If using the rechargeable battery pack (for your option), when changing the LCD bracket with
that, please follow the schematic as below:
6. If using the wired camera with the monitor, you need to use the A/V cable connecting to the
monitor as shown above on the right side. You can use at most 2wired cameras at the same time.
7. The earphone jack is available.
Optimizing the Wireless Camera System///
The 2.4 GHz signal passes easily through walls, but the signal may be reflected by power wires or
plumbing inside the wall. The most common source of interference is microwave ovens. Try to
avoid mounting the LCD monitor near a microwave oven or other source of RF interference.
Multi-Camera Operation///
The Wireless monitoring System is designed to work with up to three cameras. Additional cameras
are sold separately. Important: When using more than one camera, make sure each camera is
assigned to a specific/different channel by moving the DIP switch to the right position.
The LCD monitor’s DIP switch located on the Bottom panel of the LCD monitor should be
adjusted to reflect the channel in use.
Operating Modes///
The wireless system can be set to operate in one of three modes: Scan, Auto or Manual. The
desired operating mode can be selected using the buttons on the front panel of the LCD monitor.
Scan
Pressing the Scan button places the system in Scan mode. The LCD monitor screen blanks into a
standby mode while the system continuously scans the active cameras. If a camera detects motion,
the LCD monitor displays picture from the camera and the beeper will sound. Several minutes
after the last detection, the screen returns to standby mode while the LCD monitor resumes
scanning. Pressing the Manual or Auto button will cancel this mode.
Auto
Pressing the Auto button places the system in Auto mode. In this mode, the system automatically
rotates through all active cameras. When a camera detects motion, the LCD monitor will display
the picture from the camera for a few seconds, and the beeper will sound. To avoid searching
channels that do not have cameras/transmitters assigned to them, set the DIP switches (located on
the bottom panel of the LCD monitor) for those corresponding channels to the off position. The
dwell time (time taken to switch between cameras) is preset to 4 seconds and can be adjusted
between 2 - 30 seconds. To adjust the dwell time, press both the Auto and Manual buttons
simultaneously. Each flash of the LED increases the dwell time by one second.
Manual
To select a specific camera to LCD monitor, press the Manual button. The LCD monitor will
switch to a different camera each time the Manual button is pressed. When a camera detects
motion, the beeper on the LCD will sound. To avoid searching channels that do not have cameras
assigned to them, set the dip switches (located on the bottom panel of the LCD monitor) for those
corresponding channels to the OFF position.
Arm/Disarm
Each camera By using the Cam1, Cam2 and Cam3 buttons, you can arm or disarm each camera
independently. When pressing one of the buttons, it will turn green. This means the camera is
armed and beep sound can be heard. By pressing again, the camera is disarmed.
