SYSTEM SETUP

Camera Power Supply Options

WARNING - DO NOT OPERATE WIRELESS CAMERA WITHOUT ANTENNA CONNECTED TO ANTENNA PORT. Failure to do so will result in damage to the unit and will void the warranty.

1. Ensure the mini antenna is attached to the transmitter.
2. Power-UP wireless camera either with the included power supply or with a battery and power jumper input cables. See examples below.
3. Connect the 1.3mm barrel jack into the bottom of camera. RED LED light will confirm power.
4. NOTE: The wireless camera does not have an ON-OFF switch and therefore the moment you connect a power source to the wireless camera, it is operational. Important if using a battery supply.
5. See specifications for operating voltage range. Higher than 13VDC can permanently damage the wireless camera. Lower than 8VDC of operating voltage, the camera may not work.
6. Adjust camera focus as required
7. Do Not bend the black part of the antenna

Wireless operation from Battery power source is dependant on type and quality of batteries. Call Tech Support for suggestions.

Channel Selection

1. Set the desired channel by turning the rotary switch
2. This can be done with a small flat-head screw driver or with your fingers.
3. Do not push in the rotary switch knob, permanent damage can occur.
4. Repeat these steps for the receiver. The receiver must have the same and matching channel as the wireless camera to receive the video signal.
5. Do Not bend the black part of the antenna.

Receiver Setup

For the wireless link to work, both devices must have the same channel selected.

1. Attach the included rubber duck antenna to the SMA connector on receiver.
2. Power-UP the Receiver using the included power supply & switch to "ON"
3. Set the desired channel by turning the rotary switch to channels from 1 - 8
4. The receiver must be set to the same channel as the camera.
5. Connect video cable from receiver output connector to monitor source

Camera Bracket Mounting - Ceiling

We recommend confirming system setup for power, channel selection and video picture before permanently mounting the camera with the supplied bracket.

1. Mount the camera U-type bracket in the desired ceiling location using two screws – (Not included) We recommend using wall plugs to support the weight of the camera. (Not Included)
2. Insert camera between U-type bracket and secure with mini screws - included
3. Pivot camera up-down as required to achieve desired video picture angle. Tighten mini screws for permanent mount.
4. Plug in power supply source and re-confirm successful video picture. Add optional high gain receiver antenna to improve distance or eliminate poor video signal reception.
5. Do Not bend the black part of the antenna

TIPS & TROUBLE SHOOTING

Things that block transmission

Things that block transmission are not always obvious. Consider any obstruction that may get in the way or reduce the wireless signal strength along the way. Here are some of the most common pitfalls:

- Transmitting through walls in an office environment may be limited if the transmitting path has many desks, computers and other office type equipment in it's path. Raise the transmitter and receiver above desks and equipment to minimize obstructions.

- Steel, or anything with steel in it---steel-reinforced concrete (rebar) or metal window screens, or a tool-room cage. Aluminum siding, and energy-saving foil on the insulation in the walls are sneaky killers for radio waves. Some metallic paints or metallic wallpapers also block signals.

- Mirrors block transmission, because the “mirror” consists of a metallic backing on the glass.

- Lead windows will kill radio transmission; also windows that are UV coated may have thin metal energy-saving film.

- Other materials like brick, drywall or wood, will also cut down on the signal, depending on water content.

Snow on the Monitor

If there is snow or noise on your monitor this is a good indication that the receiver is receiving a weak signal.

To correct wireless video image :

• Move the transmitter and receiver closer together.
• Eliminate obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.
• Add a high gain antenna to the receiver for increased range and signal performance.
