Installation Tips
Night Vision
• Before you install the camera, plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will
route the cable that connects the camera to the power adapter.
• Optimized motion detection range is 6 - 18 feet for 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 oor lamps, spotlights in the driveway, etc.
• Rainfall, pool water ripples/reections, tree/shrub leaves blowing in the wind – and the
shadows they create – can generate motion detection false alarms.
• Before starting permanent installation, have another person check the camera image on
the monitor when camera is positioned in the same place it will be permanently installed.
• It is recommended to ensure a clear line of sight between the camera and Monitor and to
limit the amount of obstructions, such as walls and tree branches, between the camera
and Monitor. Walls made of heavy building materials such as brick or concrete will
signicantly reduce signal range.
• If the signal will have to pass through a wall, placing the Monitor or camera next to a
window will improve the signal strength.
• Do not install the camera pointing out of a window. The night time picture will be unusable
due to reection from the night vision LEDs.
• The cameras are pre-paired so they work out of the box. If you have purchased additional
cameras, you will need to pair them to the Monitor, see “Camera Pairing” on page 25.
• As dust, grime, and cobwebs accumulate on the camera glass, they can reect light from
the infrared LED and might lower video quality. Periodically clean the lens glass with a soft
cloth.
• If the camera is too close to the monitor, you may get a whistling interference sound.
Simply move the camera away from the monitor to eliminate the interference sound.
The camera has built-in infra-red LEDs to allow you to view at night for 24hrs surveillance. The
LEDs will automatically activate at night and the picture viewed will turn to black and white. The
night viewing range is up to 50 feet.
WARNING:
Weatherproof, IP66 rated cameras are suitable for outdoor installation. However, if possible, it is recommended
to install in a location that provides some shelter from the elements, such as beneath roof eaves.

SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
Live Screen and Menu
TIP: The system always defaults to the Live screen in Quad mode after being idle for two minutes while in
most other system screens. This default ensures that the system is ready to record video even if you forget to
return to the Live Screen Quad mode. The system can only start a recording while in Live Screen Quad mode.
Your monitor’s system software operates through a series of screens that let you choose
groups of operations. For example, when you tap on the camera icon in the Pop-up menu, you
can set how you want the main viewing screen (“Live screen”) to display images from the paired
cameras. You can scan between cameras, show all cameras on a single screen (Quad view), or
only display a specic camera.
The Live screen lets you view the camera transmissions. It also lets you set up your screen
display and make adjustments to it. Icons on the screen itself let you monitor power and
camera status.

This system can notify you when it detects motion from any camera by sending you an email
alert. The email alert contains information such as the time that motion was detected and by
which camera. In order to enable the system, you must enter both incoming and outgoing
email addresses and be connected to the internet (see page 52).
The outgoing email server (SMTP server) is responsible for sending out the email notification
to tell users when the system detects motion from any camera (Motion Detection must be
activated).
The incoming email server (Email To) receives the email notification sent from the SMTP server.
The user must have a Gmail account and be able to receive email on mobile devices such as
an iPhone®, iPad®, iPod Touch® or AndroidTM smartphone or tablet.
When you receive an email alert, you can view live video from your an iPhone, iPad, iPod
Touch, Android smartphone or tablet through a downloadable App. Free Apps are available
through the Apple App Store or Google Play. See page 55 for details.
To setup the Email Alerts, perform the following:
