INSTALLATIONGeneral Placement ConsiderationsThe cameras included with your monitor are weatherproof and have an IP65 weather rating. Water can be sprayed on them and they will still work; however, the cameras cannot be submerged underwater.Although the cameras can be exposed directly to the rain, it is recommended that, if they are used outdoors, they be mounted under some type of cover like a patio overhang or the light from the infrared LEDs used for night vision, thus causing lower quality video.from the infrared LED and might lower video quality. Periodically clean the lens glass with a soft cloth.Consider the following when placing cameras:
7xClear line of sight video transmission distance is up to 500 ft.—Walls, especially brick and concrete, shorten the transmission distance.—Placement next to windows allows better transmission.xAvoid having a direct light source in view of the camera. This includes street lights, ceiling or floor lamps, spotlights in the driveway, etc.xThe cameras are equipped with built-in infra-red LEDs so you can use night vision for 24-hour surveillance. The LEDs automatically activate at night and the picture viewed turns to black and white. The night viewing range is up to 40 ft. Avoid pointing the camera lens directly at clear glass; the night vision LEDs will cause a blurred image.xOptimized motion detection range is up to 40 ft. The farther away an object is, the less accurate the motion detection.xAvoid pointing the camera directly at any bushes, tree branches, or moving objects that might naturally move due to winds. Otherwise, the motion detection feature may record unnecessarily. xOut of Range displays when the monitor and camera are too far apart. Reposition the equipment.xA Low Battery icon displays when you need to recharge the battery.Installing Your MonitorOut of the box, your monitor has enough power to be used when you place and install the cameras. You can check the camera placement and angle before you physically screw the camera stands into place.After you have installed the cameras and set up the monitor, plug the AC adapter power output cable into the 5V POWER input of the cradle or monitor. Plug the power plug into a wall outlet or surge protector.If you are powering the monitor through the cradle, insert the monitor into the cradle at this point.Installing the CameraYou can mount the camera with the stand on the bottom (for a flat surface such as a table-top), on the side (for a wall), or on the top (for the ceiling). When you are positioning the camera, you might want to bring the monitor along; it’s much easier to get the camera into the right position when you have the monitor handy.Mount the Camera BaseThe following tools are required:xElectric Drillx5mm Drill BitxNo. 2 Philips Screwdriver1. Hold the base of the camera stand where you want to mount it and mark the location of the screw holes.
82. Drill holes using the 5mm drill bit.3. Insert anchors.4. Use the included screws to attach the base to the wall or ceiling. You can also screw the base into a at surface such as a tabletop if needed.5. Before attaching the camera, tug gently on the stand to make sure it is securely in place.Attach the camera1. For each camera, attach the camera bracket to the mounting screw. You can attach the stand to the top or the bottom of the camera as needed. Tighten it a few turns, then turn the camera to face the direction you want. 2. Tighten the camera brace up against the camera to secure it into place.3. Unlock the mounting post by turning the wingnut to the left a few turns.4. Set the mounting post to the correct angle, then tighten the wingnut until the post is locked into place.5. Attach the antenna to the rear of the camera. Power Up the Monitor1. Press and hold the POWER button on the left side of the monitor for 1 - 2 seconds to turn it on.2. The monitor displays the title screen and then displays the live view.1243Loosen the wingnut to unlock the mountingpost.Attach the camera to the mounting screw and turn it to the desired direction.Adjust the post to the correct angle, then tighten the wingnut to lock the post into place.Tighten the brace against the camera tosecure itin place.
9Power Up the Camera1. Connect one end of an AC adapter to the camera’s power pigtail and plug the other end into a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet.2. Cameras provided in the kit are already paired to the monitor. Once they are powered up, the monitor displays images from that camera.3. Adjust the camera viewing position if needed. If... Try this...there is no camera pictureVerify that the power supply adapter for the camera(s) is plugged in.the picture quality is poor Clean the camera lens.a white image appears at nightThe camera’s infra-red LED shines invisible light that reflects off surfaces such as glass, causing white light. Place the camera on the other side of windows with the lens flush against the surface to improve the night vision, or place the camera in a well-lit area.
