1. Introduction
With the ELRO CZ40RIPS CAMERA SECURITY KIT, crime and vandalism can be prevented and you
can monitor home and possessions.
•Monitor
The set comes with a 7-inch / 17 cm monitor on which images can be viewed live. The
monitor has "touchscreen" operation. It is possible to continuously store footage if you
insert an SD card in the slot of the monitor. The monitor can be connected to the internet
with an included network cable. Using the ELRO Monitoring 2.0 app, you can view camera
images on smartphone or tablet. The monitor has two antennas that provide an extra
strong wireless connection to the camera.
•Camera

4. Now point the camera at the area you want to monitor. Caution! Please be mindful of
public order and point the camera only at properties.
5. Connect the (9V DC / 0.6A) power adapter (see image below) to the camera.
6. Press the plugs firmly together so that no moisture can enter.
Note!
You can install 3 additional cameras (maximum 4 cameras). When adding cameras that were not in
the original box, the cameras must be paired with the receiver. Refer to the Pairing section (see
5.2.1 Camera setup - Pairing) on pairing the cameras in this manual.
4. Usage
This chapter explains all the operating functions of the camera set. So you know exactly what is
possible with this camera set.
4.1 Viewing live footage
When the set is plugged into the power socket for the first time, it is possible to see
directly on the monitor the images the camera is transmitting. You can directly watch
live what the camera sees.
4.2 Automatic recording
Via the motion detector settings (see 5.5.1 Motion detection settings), the camera can
be adjusted to record when motion is detected as desired. It is possible to set the
sensitivity and even hide areas. When an SD card is inserted in the monitor, the images
are stored and can be reviewed at a later time.
4.3 Manual recording
Besides automatic recording, there is also the option to record manually. When an SD
card is inserted in the monitor, the images are saved and can be reviewed at a later
time.

- 9 -
4.4 Viewing footage
When an SD card is installed in the monitor, it is possible to look back at all recorded
images. Via the Playback symbol (see 2.3 Overview shortcuts, 8 Playback), a schedule is
retrieved and it is possible to search for a specific moment.
When the specific day is tapped, a recording list is then displayed. In this list, you can go to a
specific time to view these images. Tap on a specific time and the footage is immediately started. It
is possible to start, pause, stop, rewind and delete the footage immediately.
Further navigation allows you to continue to the next or previous recording, return to the previous
page or return to the home screen altogether.
4.5 Manual siren activation
With the short cut on the start screen (see 2.3 Overview shortcuts, 5 Siren), it is possible
to manually activate the siren. When you press and hold this button, the camera will
sound a loud alarm until you release the button.
Note! This is only possible when you see the images of one specific camera on the monitor. With a
dual or quattro screen, it is not possible to activate the siren.
4.6 Energy-saving Scan mode
Scan mode is a way to activate the monitor, when motion is detected by the motion
sensor. This function has the advantage that the screen is not on continuously and it is
energy-saving.
You enable Scan mode by briefly pressing the button once (see 2.1 Overview Monitor, 2 Scan
modus) when the monitor is ON.
4.7 Expanding the camera set
The set is expandable to a complete security system with up to 4cameras. Only the

5. General Settings
This chapter describes all menu screens of the monitor in detail. Tap the Pop-Up Menu Tab (see.
2.2 Overview symbols, 18 Pop-Up Menu Tab) icon and proceed to Menu (see 2.3 Overview
shortcuts, 2 General Settings).
When there is no activity for 14 seconds, the menu will automatically close.
5.1 Navigation
Navigating the menu screens and subsections is easy using the finger.
Tapping this will take you back to the main screen.
Tapping this will take you back to the previous screen.
5.2 Menu
The general settings screen contains 6 subsections, each of which can contain sub-screens. These
sub-screens allow you to set system functions. For example, you can turn cameras on and off, set
up a specific schedule for specific cameras to record, set the date and time, and set the sensitivity
for motion detection. The rest of this chapter provides details on how to use these screens.
5.2.1 Camera setup - Pairing
The camera is linked to the monitor on channel 1 at the factory. When a new camera is
added to the system, you need to "introduce" the camera and monitor to each other so
they can communicate. You can also use this procedure to move a camera from one
channel to another channel.

- 11 -
Proceed as follows:
1. Tap pairing on the camera setup screen.
2. Tap the channel number the camera should pair with.
3. A message appears with instructions to press the pairing button (see 2.4 Overview Camera,
12 Pair/Coupling) of the camera. This must be done within 30 seconds.
4. 3 seconds after the camera is successfully paired, the monitor shows the camera footage.
Note!
- If a camera is already assigned to the selected channel, the pairing procedure overwrites
the pairing of the camera with the new channel.
- Pair only one camera at a time! The monitor connects to the first camera it recognizes. If
two or more cameras are in pairing mode, you cannot determine which camera the
monitor recognizes first.
5.2.2 Camera setup - Camera On / Off
When you add a camera to the system, it is automatically switched on. You may want
to temporarily disable one of the cameras. You do this by flipping the switch of the
respective camera. Green is enabled and grey is disabled. Although the camera is
switched off, it is still paired.
5.2.3 Camera setup - Brightness
It is possible to set the brightness for each camera. This is useful if the camera is
hanging in a room that is a bit brighter or darker. First tap 03 so that the arrows
appear. Then tap the up or down arrows under the camera you want to adjust.
06 increases the brightness, 03 is the default value and 01 decreases it.
5.2.4 Camera setup - Resolution
For each camera, change the resolution. You can change the resolution to HD or FHD
HD: 1280x720
FHD: 1920x1080
Depending on internet speed in combination with the app, we recommend starting with low video
quality. Low resolution is fewer MBs so higher speed.
5.2.5 Camera setup –Night Vision Setup
For each camera, specify whether the Night Vision sensor (see 2.4. Overview Camera, 5
Night Vision sensor) should automatically detect or be disabled. If the sensor detects
automatically, if there is sufficient blackout, the camera images will be shown in black
and white.

- 12 -
5.2.6 Camera setup –Anti-flicker
Set the camera's power frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) to prevent flickering.
5.3.1 Recording setup - Duration
You can set how long the camera keeps recording after motion detection triggers the
recording. The options are 15 seconds, 30 seconds or 1 minute.
Tap the icon and make a selection. (Default = 15 seconds)
When the camera records continuously, the recordings will be cut into files that have a
duration of 10 minutes. This cannot be adjusted.
5.3.2 Recording setup - Scheduled Recording / Continuous Recording
Here you can set a complete weekly schedule when each camera should start
recording. You can set several cameras at the same time and the recording times can
overlap. It is also possible to set within the recording schedule to record only when
motion is detected. To do so, tap the ''Motion'' button.
In the Scheduled recordings overview screen, you can see which days of the week and
at which times recordings have been scheduled. To actually schedule and delete
recordings, tap at the bottom right of the screen .
Multiple cameras can be selected simultaneously and you can also choose to have
scheduled recordings start only after movement.
The total recording time is limited to the available space on the SD card. If the SD card
is set to overwrite the oldest files when it is full, the system continues recording;
otherwise, recording stops until space is available.
Scheduled recordings are divided into 10-minute file sizes. For example, if you record a
25-minute event, you will have two 10-minute recordings plus a 5-minute recording.
If the camera set is to record continuously, it is necessary to create a recording
schedule.
5.3.3 Recording setup - File overwrite
This feature lets you set the system to automatically overwrite the oldest files once the
SD card is full. This allows you to continue recording. If you do not allow overwriting,
recording stops when the SD card is full. The monitor will show that the SD card is full.
(See 2.2. Overview symbols, 3 SD card)
