The CatCam is a surveillance system that creates a new channel
to add to existing television channels. The new channel carries a
picture from the camera that is placed anywhere in the home. The
CatCam was designed to install effortlessly into existing coax home
wiring or into new construction.

The CatCam is comprised of a camera and a channel injector.
The camera is designed to flush mount indoors or outdoors using
a single gang J box. The channel injector is weather resistant and
designed to mount indoors or outdoors close to the incoming CATV
or antenna feed. The system uses the existing coax cable distribu-
tion in the house.
The CatCam was designed to work with Cat 5 wiring. Although the
system will function with quad wire, Cat 5 delivers the highest quality
picture. The Cat 5 allows the use of an automatic line length sensor
and picture compensator. Quad wire does not take advantage of
this enhancement.
Model Differences:
The model 9500HHR series is a high headroom design for CATV
and off air antenna feeds only. (5-806MHz)
The model 9500BID series is a bi-directional design for use with
CATV cable boxes that are interactive or require bi-directional com-
munications with the cable company. (5-42MHz return path)
The model 9510PAL is designed to modulate PAL frequencies and
use CATV or off air antenna feeds.
Installation:
First, locate the incoming CATV or antenna feed and install the
channel injector at that location.
Second, install the camera at the desired location and run Cat 5 wire
from the camera to the channel location.
Third, apply power and select an unused channel for the CatCam
picture to appear on all the televisions.

Installation: Step One
Locate the incoming CATV or antenna feed and existing splitter.
(Usually found on the side of the house, in the attic or near the electrical and phone service box)
Remove the lock screw located on the bottom of the channel
injector and slide the cover off. Use the mounting holes as shown to
affix the channel injector to the wall next to the splitter.
Disconnect the incoming CATV or antenna feed from the existing
splitter and attach it to the channel injector as shown.
Now attach the supplied coax jumper back to the existing splitter
and tighten all connections with a 7/16” wrench.

Installation Step Two
The camera mounts using a single gang “J” box. Run a line of Cat 5
wire from the camera to the channel injector and connect wires as
shown.
Attach Cat 5 wire to camera following color coding.
note:
When using quad wire connect
wires only to pins 1, 2, 5 and 6.
Leave the resistor in place
at pins 3 and 4.
Programming a New Channel
Valid channels are 14 thru 64 for UHF and 65 thru 125 for CATV
Channels 95-99 are not available. Channels 21 thru 62 are for Pal.
Channel Spacing:
Skip at least one number between the new channel and the closest
existing UHF/CATV channel.
(example 14 and 16: OK 14 and 15: Unacceptable)
Error Indication:
If an error occurs or an incorrect channel is entered, the LED will
flash quickly for one second and return to previous settings.
Cable HRC and IRC considerations:
Most cable services use IRC frequency assignments. This is the
default for the 9500 series. However, if the cable services uses HRC
or the TV appears to search for the “created channel”, program the
channel injector for HRC.
For HRC enter 98. Reset to IRC by entering 99.
Entries 98 and 99 are for setting HRC or IRC only. They will not
change the channel number.
With programming complete, test each TV in the system to see that it is
receiving the new channel.

Applying Power and Programming
Step Three
The 9500 series has three different methods for applying power
to the system.
Use only one method for applying power.
Method One: Apply power directly to the
channel injector with the power supply.
The green LED in the upper right corner of the injector will be lit
showing power is active.
(See power length requirements page 9) 5
How to Program
Determine which unused channel you want to view your video
source on and program the injector for that channel. There must be
one unused channel both before and after the selected channel to
avoid interference. The new channel will be combined with the exist-
ing channels and appear on all televisions.
To program: For example channel 60
1: Press the button 6 times.
2: Wait for the LED to relight.
3: Press the button 10 more times (pressing 10 times enters “0”).
The injector will now combine the camera feed on channel 60 with all other
existing channels from the incoming CATV or antenna.
To program a three digit channel: For example channel 120
1: Press the button 1 time.
2: Wait for the LED to relight.
3: Press the button 2 more times.
4: Wait for the LED to relight.
5: Press the button 10 more times.
Finding Unused Channels
CATV: Determine the highest channel number delivering a picture,
excluding 95-99. Tune the TV up one channel at a time from the last
channel with a picture until finding one channel with no trace of a
picture or interference, just snow.
Antenna: Tune the TV one channel at a time from channel 14-64.
Locate one channel that has no trace of a picture or interference,
just snow.

Method Two: Use the power injector to apply power along the Cat
5 or quad wire run. Cut the connecting wire along the run and insert
the power injector. Connect the wires using the color coding. Then
plug the power supply into the power injector.
The green LED in the upper right corner of the channel injector will
be lit showing power is active.
Method Three: Apply power directly at the camera.
