BEFORE YOU INSTALL
When choosing the best location for the placement
of the camera and receiver, it is best to avoid any
sources of possible RF interference such as
microwave ovens and cordless phones. Proximity
to these and other sources of RF interference can
inhibit the proper functioning of the receiver.
The 900MHz video signals pass easily through
your home’s interior walls, but the signal may be
reflected by power wires or plumbing inside those
walls. Usually a slight adjustment to the position of
the Receiver and/or Camera antenna will improve
reception. Position the antenna upwards to improve
sensitivity, and downwards to reduce sensitivity.
Take care not to force the antenna past its lock
positions.
CHOOSING A CAMERA MOUNTING LOCATION
The 45233 Wireless Color Camera can be positioned
on a desktop, or mounted to a wall. It is suitable for

4
indoor or outdoor use. When choosing a mounting
location, please be advised:
• Do not use in wet locations. If using outside,
position camera in a sheltered location.
• Do not position the camera so that it points
directly into the sun or any bright light, as this
may cause damage to the camera.
• Avoid viewing areas where half the area is in
bright sunlight and the other half is dark, such
as in the shadow of a building. All types of
cameras have difficulty “seeing” into areas of
such divergent light levels.
• In low light conditions, the camera will
automatically activate the Infrared (IR) LED’s and
switch the camera to Night Vision mode. Night
Vision viewing distance is up to 10 feet.
• The AC adapter used to power the camera
cannot be positioned farther than 8 ft. from
an AC socket. Do not use the supplied adapter
outside or run the cable through walls. If you
need to extend the adapter cable, 15 ft.
extensions are available by contacting
Customer Service at 800-654-8483.
• The Camera has an unobstructed wireless
transmission range up to 200 ft. from the
receiver. Transmission distance indoors is

5
reduced due to interior walls, wiring, household
fixtures and metal plumbing.
CONNECTING TO A TV OR MONITOR
To prepare for installation of the system, we
recommend that you temporarily connect the
45234 Receiver to a TV or Monitor to help you
choose the best location for installing the camera.
The camera connects wirelessly and automatically
to the receiver when both are powered on and
within 200 ft (unobstructed view) of each other.
This system will accommodate up to 2 cameras.
1. Connect one end of the cable (3.5mm male) to the
rear of the receiver, and the other end (white/yellow)
to your television’s A/V inputs. Match the yellow

plug to the yellow VIDEO IN jack and the white plug
to the white AUDIO IN jack.
2. Plug the AC adapter into the power jack (marked
on the back of the receiver, then into an AC outlet.
3. Rotate the antenna to a vertical position. Do not
over-tighten. Place the receiver either on top or
near to your TV.
4. Set your TV to monitor the VIDEO INPUT
designated for the Receiver.
CHANNEL SELECTION
Manual Mode
To select one of the two
channels manually,
press the MANUAL button
on the top panel of the
Receiver. The green LED
will light for the
corresponding channel.
The receiver will switch to a
different channel (1 or 2)
each time the MANUAL button
is pressed. When you have
selected the channel with the
active camera, that video will
appear on the monitor/TV screen.
Each camera must be assigned to
a specific channel; both cameras
cannot be on the same channel or the signals will

Multi-Camera Operation
This wireless surveillance system is designed to
work with up to 2 cameras. Additional cameras are
sold separately. IMPORTANT: When using more
than one camera, each camera must be assigned
to a specific channel using the channel selection
switch located on the underside of the camera
housing. Select either 1 or 2 for each camera. Each
camera must be assigned to a specific channel;
both cameras cannot be on the same channel or
the signals will cancel out. If using only one camera
you can select either Ch 1 or Ch 2, whichever
provides the best picture. The slide switch located
on the rear of the Receiver must be set to reflect the
channels in use.

To have the receiver automatically switch between
two active channels, first check the receiver is set
to 1/2 position. Next, press the AUTO button on the
top panel of the receiver. The green LED will light
and the receiver will automatically select between
the two active cameras. The monitor will display
images from both cameras alternately.
Cycle Time Setting (Time interval between
camera selections)
The default cycle time for the receiver is preset to
4 seconds. To change the cycle time, press both of
the buttons (Auto and Manual) on top of the receiver
simultaneously. The LED will flash; each flash adds
one extra second of cycle time. The cycle time can
be verified by the number of flashes the LED makes
when you release the buttons—one flash equals
one second. Cycle time can be set between 2-30
seconds.
NIGHT VISION
The 45233 Wireless Color Camera features Night
Vision technology. Objects and images can be seen
in little or no light up to 10 ft. The camera uses a
special image sensor that automatically detects
available light levels. It turns on/off the Infra-Red
(IR) LEDS on the front of the camera. These LEDs
provide artificial light that allows the camera to
‘see’ in the dark.

Night Vision will
appear as a Black and

the image sensor detects
enough light, color will
return to the images.
AUDIO DETECTION AND
NOTIFICATION FEATURE
This feature allows the system
to emit an audio alert
whenever sound is
detected within a
monitored area.
When the camera
detects a sound, the receiver will sound an alert
and a notification light will flash. The feature can be
turned ON/OFF by pressing the button on the front
panel of the receiver. The sensitivity for the level of
audio detection (when the receiver will sound an
alert) can be adjusted with the sensitivity control
located at the back of the receiver.
CAMERA INSTALLATION
Once your preferred camera mounting location
has been chosen, disconnect the AC adapter from
the camera and power off the TV/monitor before
proceeding.

Desktop Mount:
1. Place camera in desired location on a flat surface.
2. Set Channel switch on camera to 1 or 2.
3. Power ON the TV/monitor; reconnect AC adapter
to the camera.
4. Select the channel (1 or 2) on the receiver that
corresponds to the camera channel setting. (See
Channel Selection)
5. Adjust antenna and camera angle as needed for
the clearest picture. Positioning
the antenna upwards to
improve sensitivity, and
downwards to reduce
sensitivity. Take care not
to force the antennas
past their lock positions.
Wall Mount:
1. To simplify the wall mount
process, you will find a custom
wall mounting plate included with
the mounting hardware.
2. Select the ideal location. Using
the supplied mount as a template, drill two 3/16”
holes in the desired mounting location, and install
the two wall anchors (included) into the holes, or
screw directly into a wall stud. Secure the mounting
