INSTALLATION

CAMERA INSTALLATION

Placement Considerations

The camera can be placed on a shelf with the bracket fixed or on the wall with the bracket anchored to the wall.

UNIDEN BW615PTR - Placement Considerations - 1
Align the base of the camera to the bracket.
Rotate the camera clockwise to slip into the bracket and secure the camera in position.

  • The camera included is NOT weatherproof; it is an indoor camera.
  • Avoid having a direct light source in view of the camera (ceiling or floor lamps).
  • Carefully plan where and how the camera will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the power adaptor.
  • If you are planning to pair it to a monitor, the clearest line-of-sight between the camera and monitor is best. Walls, especially brick and concrete, can affect reception quality.
  • When pairing to a monitor, to 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. Check the image on the monitor before you install the camera.

You can install a maximum of 2 cameras to a BW61xx series monitor. When pairing the additional camera, you will need to pair the cameras with the monitor.

Powering the Camera

Insert one end of the micro USB cable to the micro USB port on the camera (at the back of the camera).

Connect the other end of the USB cable into the USB power adaptor.

Connect the USB power adaptor into a 240 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet.

Switch on the plug and allow the camera to power up.
