Connect antenna to receiver Turning on the receiver To turn on the receiver: 1 Connect the cable from the power adapter to the 5V DC port on the bottom panel of the receiver.
Installing the camera Inserting the SD card The SD card allows you to store video footage captured by the camera. To insert the SD card: 1 Push the SD card into the SD card slot on the LCD receiver until you hear a "click." The card will not be flush when completely inserted. NOTE: The receiver is compatible with most major brands of SD card up to 16 GB. For recording times on SD cards, see “Appendix F: Estimated Recording Times on SD Cards” on page 37.
Using the System Using the System By default, the camera included with your system is automatically paired to the wireless receiver. The camera and receiver will communicate with each other once they are powered on. Understanding the on-screen display With camera 1 properly connected and powered on, the system displays a single channel full-screen live view of the camera. NOTE: Power on the cameras before powering on the receiver.
Using the System 2 Signal Indicator: The signal indicator shows the strength of the signal being received from the camera. The number of bars in the Signal Indicator shows the strength of the signal. One, or no bars indicates the signal is poor, and 4 bars indicate a very strong signal. The signal indicator is not shown during quad mode. NOTE: If the signal is low (e.g. 1 or 2 bars) adjust the antennas, or reposition the cameras or receiver for best performance.
Using the System Viewing Modes There are four different viewing modes available on the system: single channel viewing, Auto Sequence Viewing Mode (view individual channels automatically in sequence), Quad mode, and Screen Saver Mode. To change viewing modes: 1 Press the Channel A button on the remote to enable Auto Sequence Viewing Mode and switch automatically between channels. 2 Press the Channel M button on the remote to disable Auto Sequence.
Using the System Screen saver mode Use the Screen Saver mode to conceal the fact that the LCD receiver is actually a surveillance recorder. The system comes pre-loaded with five scenic images that let the LCD receiver simulate a picture frame. When motion is detected by a camera, the LCD receiver will display the triggered camera in single channel full-screen. NOTE: The images are loaded to the system firmware, not the SD card. Formatting the SD card will not delete the Screen Saver images on the system.
Using the System Motion Detection With the Screen Saver activated, motion detection is enabled on the system. When motion is detected by one of the cameras, the LCD receiver will display the triggered camera in single-channel full-screen, and the motion alarm will beep, but the system will not record. When the motion trigger is finished, the system will return to Screen Saver mode. NOTE: Unless the REC stamp appears on-screen, the system is NOT recording.
