 Camera Installation    10 Camera Installation  Before you install the camera(s), carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the power adaptor or battery adaptor. Installation Warnings: •  Aim the Cameras 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 cameras where there are thick walls, obstructions, or interference (i.e. cement, concrete, metal, transformers, or other electrical equipment) between the Cameras and the Receiver. This will reduce the transmission range. •  Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature between 14°F~113°F (-10°C~45°C) •  Before starting permanent installation, have another person hold the camera for you while you verify its performance by observing the image on a monitor.  •  Audio feedback may occur when the receiver and camera(s) are too close (under 10 feet /3 meters. Night Vision This camera includes IR LEDs, which provide the camera with the ability to view images in low light conditions. It is important to use the provided power adaptor (not the 9V DC Battery Adaptor) when using the camera for prolonged periods in low light conditions, as the LEDs will drain the battery more quickly than regular daytime use.   Multi CAMERA OPERATION    This 900MHz Wireless Color Camera System can support a total of 2 cameras (additional camera is sold separately). When using multiple cameras, set each camera to different channels. The Receiver needs to be set to have 2 cameras switched to ON, to have all attached cameras functioning simultaneously.        NOTE: The LW1001, LW1010, and LW1020 are expandable. To order additional cameras please visit our website at www.lorexcctv.com
 Camera Installation     11Installing the Camera:  1. Carefully unpack the Camera.  2. Decide whether the camera will be permanently wall mounted or sit on a tabletop: •  If you decide to place the camera on a tabletop or other flat surface, the camera can easily be moved to different locations as desired. It is strongly recommended that the camera be affixed to the table top surface to prevent damage to the camera in case of tabletop surface movement or improper handling. •  If you decide to permanently mount the camera to a wall, make sure to select a location close to a power outlet.  NOTE: Wireless cameras require 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 adaptor to prevent interruptions in the image, as the battery adaptor is intended as a temporary power solution.   Wall Mounting Instructions (for the LW1001 and LW1002 ONLY) To mount the camera to a wall:  1.  Measure and mark the positions for the 2 screw holes on the wall with a 0.90” space in between the 2 marks.   2.  For Drywall: •  Drill the 2 holes (1/4” drill bit) and insert the drywall plugs as needed.  3.   Screw in both screws until the base of both screw heads are roughly 3mm from the wall. 4.  Slide the base of the camera onto the screw heads.   NOTE: If the base is not flush with the wall: Remove the base from the screw heads, and adjust the depth of the screws until the camera base is flush with the wall.     5.  Adjust Camera to the desired angle. If desired gently tighten the screw on the neck of the camera until snug. Table Top Mount: The Camera can be placed on any flat surface.  0.90” 5
     12           Wall Mounting Instructions (for the LW1010, LW1012, LW1020, LW1022 ONLY) To mount the camera to a wall:  1.  Loosen the screw located on the side of the camera base using a slot head screwdriver.  2.  Pull the camera free from the Stand.      Mount the stand to the wall:  •  Mark the position of the two screw holes on the wall.  •  Drill holes and insert the drywall plugs as needed.  •  Position the power cable through either slot on the top or bottom of the stand as desired. •  Firmly attach the stand to the wall using the provided screws.              1 23NOTE: Do not allow the camera to come in contact with other objects while it is detached from the stand, as this may cause damage to the camera.
      13     4.   Insert the Camera into the top slot of the stand.         5.   Point the camera in the desired position. Tighten the side screw to secure the camera to the Stand.      6.   Adjust the angle of the camera for a desired view.        Connecting Camera Power  The Camera can be powered either by using the provided Power Adaptor, or using a 9v battery (not included) and the Battery Adaptor Cable:    • POWER ADAPTOR: Connect the Power Adaptor to the Camera. • BATTERY: Connect the battery adaptor cable to the camera. Connect a 9 Volt Battery to the adaptor cable (NOTE: A new 9V Battery should last for approximately 4 hours without the IR LEDs in use).   4 5 6
     14 NOTE: Wireless cameras require 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 adaptor to prevent interruptions in the image, as the battery adaptor is intended as a temporary power solution.                                          Power Adaptor: Connect the Power Adaptor to the Female Barrel Power termination on the camera. Battery: Connect the Camera Battery Adaptor cable to the Female Barrel Power termination on the camera. Connect a battery to the connector.
 Troubleshooting     15Troubleshooting  If you have problems with your System, there is often a quick and simple solution. Please try the following:  Problem (for LW1001, LW1002, LW1010, LW1012, LW1020, and LW1022) Solution (for LW1001, LW1002, LW1010, LW1012, LW1020, and LW1022) There is no picture from a Camera.  •  Check all connections to the Camera. Make sure the adaptor is plugged in. •  Make sure that the Cameras and Receiver are both ON. •  Make sure that the receiver is set to search for the Camera (using the DIP Switch settings). •  Make sure that the camera is in range of the Receiver. •  If using the battery adaptor, try replacing the 9V Battery  There is Interference with the Camera Picture. •  Make sure that each camera (transmitter) is within range, and that there are no large obstructions or interference (i.e. older cordless phones on the 900MHz Frequency). •  Try repositioning the camera, receiver or both to improve the reception.  There are problems with the Audio.  •  Ensure that the volume on the TV is ON •  Make sure that the sound is occurring within range of the Camera Microphone •  If the unit emits a loud screeching noise (feedback), move the camera or receiver farther apart.  Problem (for LW1020 and LW1022 Only)  Solution (for LW1020 and LW1022 Only) There is no image when the Receiver is connected to the computer using the USB Cable. •  Unplug and then plug in the Receiver. •  If the computer prompts you for a device driver, install the provided driver that is located on the CD (included). If the driver was installed and XP or Vista is still giving this prompt, please go to www.lorexcctv.com for customer service options. •  Run Windows Update to obtain the latest fixes for Windows. When update is complete, plug in the receiver to see whether this solved the issue. •  Ensure the computer is operating on Windows XP or Windows Vista. Other Operating Systems are not supported.. Yoics cannot find my camera, or other problems with the Yoics software. •  Ensure the driver is properly installed. •  Ensure only 1 camera is connected through USB. •  Please visit the Yoics website at www.yoics.com  for all technical problems. The 2nd camera is not showing up on Yoics. •  There can only be 1 camera shown at a time using Yoics, and there is no feature to switch between channels with Yoics. To change channels, press the MANUAL button on the receiver.
