Monitor 1 Flip out the stand on the back of the monitor; and position the antenna. 2 Connect an AC adaptor to the power input on the side of the monitor. Connect the other end of the adapter to a standard indoor power outlet. 3 Press and hold the POWER button on the top of the monitor for 3 – 4 seconds to power it up. 4 The monitor displays the start up UI for a few seconds and then transitions to the LIVE view. The screen remains dark until the cameras are powered up. Camera General The camera included with your monitor is weatherproof and have an IP54 rating. Water can be sprayed on them and they will still work; however, the cameras cannot be submerged. 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 eave. As rainwater drops start to dry on the camera glass, it can create spots that will reflect the light from the infrared LEDs used for night vision, thus causing lower quality video. Also, as dust, grime, and cobwebs accumulate on the camera glass, they can reflect light from the infrared LED and might lower video quality. Periodically clean the lens glass with a soft cloth. Placement Considerations Consider the following when placing cameras:

• The clearest line-of-sight between the camera and monitor is best. - Walls, especially brick and concrete, shorten the transmission distance. - Placement next to windows allows better transmission.

• Optimized motion detection range is 6...18 feet for the camera. The farther away an object is, the less accurate the motion detection.

• Avoid having a direct light source in the view of the camera, including street lights, ceiling or floor lamps, spotlights in the driveway, etc.

• Rainfall, pool water ripples/reflections, tree/shrub leaves blowing in the wind – and the shadows they create – can generate motion detection false alarms. INSTALL CAMERAS When you are positioning the camera, bring the monitor along; it’s much easier to get the camera into the right position when you have the display handy. 1 Position the camera where you want it, plug it into power, and check video on the monitor. Move the camera if the view is not what you want. 2 Hold the base of the camera stand where you want to mount it and mark the location of the screw holes.3 Use the included screws and anchors to attach the base to the wall or ceiling. 4 Tug gently on the stand to make sure it is securely in place. MONITOR SCREEN The monitor’s screen has 3 main parts:

• Live View area. The main screen area displays live video from the camera(s).

• Pop Out Menu Tab. Tap this tab to display 4 menus that let you manage the system.

• Icon bars. Icons display on the top and bottom of the monitor screen. Viewing Modes The Live View area displays live video from the cameras. Each camera can display in its own section of the screen (quadrant) or on the full screen. There are 4 viewing modes:

• Quad mode splits the screen’s image area into 4 quadrants and displays active camera video in each quadrant. Tap the center of the quadrant to enter Single Channel mode.

• Single Channel mode displays one camera at a time on full screen. Press to change between the channels. Tap the center of the image to return to Quad mode.

• With Scan mode, the monitor’s screen and speakers are off until a camera detects motion. That camera then displays at full screen (sound and video on) until there has been no motion for 15 seconds. After that, the monitor screen turns off again. Press and release POWER to turn Scan mode on.

• Auto Sequence. Displays each channel automatically in sequence in full screen display. The system defaults to Auto Sequence mode when Scan mode is turned off. Tap SEQ to turn Auto Sequence mode off and return to Quad mode. SYSTEM OPERATION Your monitor operates through a series of screens that let you choose groups of operations.

When you add a camera, you have to pair it to the monitor (that is, you have to “introduce” the camera and monitor to each other so they can communicate).

• If a camera is already assigned to the channel you want to assign the new camera to, the monitor overwrites the existing camera link with the new one.

• Only pair one camera at a time! The monitor links to the first camera it detects. If two or more camera are in pairing mode, you can’t control which camera the monitor will detect first.
