Introduction
The 2.4GHz Solar-powered Color PIR Camera Kit is a truly
wireless camera, receiving all of its required energy from the
sun. With no wires to run, this camera installs easily, providing
security and convenience in a simple, economical manner. Its
solar panel collects daylight and maintains a charge to the
battery of the camera during daylight hours. A negligible amount
of energy is released by the rechargeable battery to operate the
camera during nighttime.
When the camera's PIR motion sensor detects motion, images
and voices are transmitted. Upon receiving these signals, the
optional wireless receiver (VR111) will activate the VCR/DVR to
start recording, so you'll know who visits or breaks in your
property while you are away.
Caution
Pay attention to the following before you install:
1. Sufficient daylight: Solar panel requires constant charge
during daylight hours. Please mount the camera at the location
that can receive sufficient daylight exposure.
Mount the PIR Camera at 2m height above the ground.
2. Detecting sensitivity: A passive infrared sensor operates by
detecting the
objective
movement and
heat. When the
temperature of the

2
moving object and its surrounding area are close in value, it
may reduce PIR’s sensitivity. The motion detector’s infrared
beams radiate outward like the slat of a wooden fence.
Prior to mounting, keep in mind that the motion sensor is
more sensitive to the motion that crosses these “slats”, and
less sensitive to the motion that moves directly towards the
sensor.
The passive infrared sensor has a detection coverage of
80 degree at 8m away.
3. Keep a light source during nighttime: The camera cannot
work in total darkness. Please bear in mind the camera's
viewing area must be illuminated with a suitable light source
during nighttime.

Operating Instruction
1. A 9 volt battery can be used only if the battery level of 6V
1.2Ah drops and solar panel cannot be charged.
2. The solar panel and DC power adaptor cannot be
implemented at the same time.
3. The PIR Camera is equipped with voltage auto switching
function:
a. Power saving mode
When the PIR Camera is connected to a 6V/1.2Ah
rechargeable battery, it will warm up for about 1 minute
and its Status LED will illuminate steadily. The triggered
signal of 2.4GMz may control the VCR/DVR to record or
stop recording through wireless receiver (VR111). Once the
PIR Camera is triggered, it will send a start recording signal
for about 30 seconds. After 30-second is expired, it will
emit a stop recording signal to the wireless receiver
(VR111). During 30-second countdown, if the PIR Camera
has been triggered again, the countdown will be extended
for another 30 seconds.
b. Ordinary mode
When the PIR Camera is connected to a 7.5V DC/300mA
DC adaptor, it will warm up for about one minute and its
Status LED will be on steadily.
The 2.4GMz will always emit radio signal in spite of the PIR
Camera being triggered or not. The triggered signal of
2.4GMz may control the VCR/DVR to record or stop
recording through wireless receiver (VR111). Once the PIR
Camera is triggered, it will send a start recording signal for
about 30 seconds. After 30-second is expired, it will emit
a stop recording signal to the wireless receiver (VR111).
During 30-second countdown, if the PIR Camera is
triggered again, the countdown will be extended for another
