CHOOSING A CAMERA MOUNTING LOCATION The Wireless Color Camera is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. When choosing a mounting location, please be advised: • This camera is designed to be reliable for outdoor use; and its flexible design allows it to be used indoors as well. • If using outdoors, take time to first consider how you will route the cable back to the power adapter. The AC adapter must be used in a dry location.
• 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.
RECEIVER CHANNEL SELECTION The receiver system can monitor up to 2 wireless cameras. You can operate the receiver in either Manual or Auto mode. To view more than one camera, locate the camera channel selection switch (1 2 1/2) on the rear panel of the receiver. The receiver must be set to the ‘1/2’ position to allow two cameras to be monitored. The next step will be to set the channel selection switch on both cameras. See Camera Channel Selection.
channel (1 or 2) LED will turn on. The receiver will switch to a different channel each time the MANUAL button is pressed. The video image for the channel with an active camera selected will appear on the monitor. Each camera must be assigned to a specific channel; both cameras cannot be on the same channel or the signals will interfere with each other. AUTO MODE (two camera operation) To have the receiver automatically switch between two active channels, first check the receiver is set to 1/2 position.
CYCLE TIME SETTING (Time interval between camera selections) The default cycle time for the receiver to switch between cameras in auto mode is preset to 4 seconds. To change the cycle time, press and hold both of the buttons (Auto and Manual) on top of the receiver simultaneously. The receiver will beep, pause and then sound a beep for each second of the cycle time, up to 30 seconds.
Channel Selection Switch 2 1 The camera will be set to channel 1 from the factory. To change the camera to channel 2, you will need to remove the sun shield and unscrew the lens cover. Locate the channel selector. Slide the switch to channel 2 and screw on the lens cover back on until it’s snug. Each camera must be assigned to a specific channel; both cameras cannot be on the same channel or the signals will cancel out.
CONNECTING TO A TV OR MONITOR To prepare for installation of the system, we recommend that you temporarily connect the Wireless Receiver to a TV or Monitor to help you choose the best location for installing the camera. The camera connects wirelessly and automatically to the receiver when both are powered on and are located within 200 ft (unobstructed view) of each other. This system will accommodate up to two cameras. NOTE: There are two AC adapters. One is labeled ‘Receiver’ at the end of the cable.
1. Plug the AC adapter for the Wireless Receiver (labeled ‘Receiver’) into the power jack (marked ‘DC 9V’ on the back of the receiver), then into an AC outlet.

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. Long Range Night Vision will appear as a Black and White image. When the image sensor detects enough light, color will return to the images. AUDIO DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION FEATURE This feature allows the Receiver to emit an audio alert whenever sound is detected within a monitored area.
