INSTALLATION
General Placement Considerations
The 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:
7
xClear 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.
x
Out 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 Monitor
Out 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 Camera
You 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 Base
The following tools are required:
xElectric Drill
x5mm Drill Bit
xNo. 2 Philips Screwdriver
1. Hold the base of the camera stand where you want to mount it and mark the location
of the screw holes.
8
2. 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 camera
1. 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 Monitor
1. 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.

3
Loosen the
wingnut to
unlock the
mounting
post.
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 to
secure it
in place.

Power Up the Camera
1. 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...

a white image appears at
night
The 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.

MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM
MONITOR
As you use your monitor, keep the screen clean by wiping it with a microfiber cloth to
remove fingerprints, dust, etc.
CAMERAS
When dust and grime builds up on the camera lens and glass, it affects night vision
capability. The infrared light reflects off of the dust and grime, limiting the camera’s
“vision.” Use a microfiber cloth to regularly clean the cameras or when night vision video is
cloudy or unclear.
