BEFORE YOU INSTALL
When choosing the best location for the placement
of the camera and monitor, 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 Monitor/Receiver and/or Camera antenna
will improve reception. Take care not to force the
antennas past their lock positions.
CHOOSING A CAMERA MOUNTING LOCATION
The Wireless B/W Camera included in the 45235
system can be positioned on a desktop, or
mounted to a wall. It is suitable for 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
reduced due to interior walls, wiring, household
fixtures and metal plumbing.

CONNECTING TO THE MONITOR
Before beginning installation, we recommend that
you temporarily “connect” the 45235 B/W Wireless
Camera to the 5.5” Monitor to help familiarize
yourself with the camera system and select the
best location for installing the camera. The camera
connects wirelessly and automatically to the monitor
when both are powered on and within 200 ft. of
each other (unobstructed view). This system will
accommodate up to 2 cameras.
1. Plug the AC adapter into the power jack on the
back of the monitor, then into an AC outlet.
2. Turn on the monitor by pressing the power
button on the front of the unit. Adjust the sound
level at the front of the monitor to midpoint with
the volume control knob.
3. Select the appropriate “channel” (1 or 2) on the
monitor that corresponds to the channel switch

setting (1 or 2) located on
the unside of the camera
housing. (See Channel
Selection.)
4. Brightness/Contrast and
Vertical Hold can be adjusted
with controls at the back of
the monitor.
CHANNEL SELECTION
Manual Mode
To select one of the two channels manually,
press the MANUAL button on the front panel
of the Monitor. The green LED will light for the
corresponding channel. The Monitor 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 screen. Each camera must
be assigned to a specific channel; both cameras
cannot be on the same channel or the signals will
cancel out.

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.
Auto Mode (2 Camera Operation)
To have the Monitor automatically switch between
two active channels, first check the receiver is set

to 1/2 position. Next, press the AUTO button on the
front panel of the Monitor. The green LED will light
and the Monitor 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/Manual) on front of the receiver
simultaneously. The Monitor will beep. Each beep
is one extra second of cycle time added. 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 White image. When the image sensor detects

(IR) LEDs
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
‘Alarm’ light on the front of the Monitor will flash. The
sensitivity for the level of audio detection (when the
Monitor will sound an alert) can be adjusted with the
sensitivity control located at the back of the Monitor.
The alert sound can be turned OFF by adjusting the
sensitivity control to ‘-’ (Minimum).
INSTALLATION
Once your preferred camera mounting location
has been chosen, power OFF the Monitor and
disconnect the AC adapter from the wireless
camera 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. Reconnect AC adapter to
the camera and power on the
monitor.
4. Adjust antenna and camera
angle as needed for the clearest
picture. Positioning the antenna
upwards to improve transmission distance, and
downwards to reduce transmission. Take care not
to force the antenna past its 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 plate to the wall, Do not
run the adapter cable in walls; when securing the
cable, do not cut or puncture.
