Congratulations
With the IntelliCorder 0, you can monitor the entrance of any home or business and safely answer
your door before opening. The internal Digital Video Recorder (DVR) can capture the video/audio of
any visitor even when you are not present. The IntelliCorder 0is a high-quality, battery-operated
monitoring device. It uses a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor to detect guests/intruders at your
front or back door and projects an on-screen image onto the internal monitor screen. Once powered
on, it will activate a video recording, storing it in the internal memory or onto a SD memory card.
This instruction manual explains in simple steps how to install, use and care for your new
IntelliCorder 0in your home, office or business.

* While not in use, remove Batteries from the IntelliCorder 0, and store in a cool, dark, dry place.
CLOCK Battery Installation
The IntelliCorder 0’s internal clock operates on a CR2032 lithium flat cell battery (included). To
replace battery when expired:
1. Remove the cover on the back of the unit by rotating tabs into unlock position.
2. Install a new CR2032 battery into the clock battery compartment, observing proper +/- polarities
as indicated.
3. Replace the battery cover. Rotate tabs into lock position.
Warning:
* Dispose of old battery promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury.
* Replace battery with CR2032 only. Use of another battery may present a risk of damage to the
IntelliCorder 0.
* Keep away from children. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.
Note:
* Keep battery out of children’s reach. Swallowing it may be harmful.
* Battery life is approximately two years.
Installation
Choose a Mounting Location
The IntelliCorder 0is designed to mount on a smooth, flat door surface from 30mm to 65mm. Select
a door/entrance you wish to monitor. The recommended mounting height is approximately 5-6 feet.

7
At this height, the PIR sensor detects motion up to 6.5 feet (2 meters) away, with a viewing angle up
to 80 degrees.
To help avoid false activation, mount your camera:
* Away from direct sunlight
* Away from heat sources, such as space heaters, radiators, and exposed light bulbs
* Away from strong drafts, like those caused by central heating vents
1. Prepare the mounting space by first removing the original door peephole hole viewer. If there is
no peephole, then you will need to drill a hole of an at least ½” (12.5mm) diameter at desired
location.
2. Clean the surface where the PIR camera sensor is to be mounted.
3. Carefully pull out the ribbon cable from the camera tube.
4. Remove the backing of the double-sided adhesive tape on the back of the PIR. Carefully feed the
ribbon cable and tube through the peephole to the other side of the door. Be careful not to stick
the camera to the door. Once you have the camera aligned properly, press the camera to the door
allowing the adhesive tape to the camera in place. As illustrated below, keep the PIR sensor on
the top.
5. Remove the backing of the double-sided adhesive tape on the back of the mounting bracket.
Carefully feed the ribbon cable through the mounting hole of the mounting bracket. Once you
have the mounting bracket aligned properly, press it to the door allowing the adhesive tape to the
mounting bracket in place.

8
6. Feed the ribbon cable through the support tube. Place the Support tube through the Mounting
Bracket into the peephole and screw onto the PIR tube. Use the Adjustment Tool to turn the
Support tube clockwise until the mounting plate is secured to the door. Take care not to over-
tighten the Support Tube.
7. Connect the ribbon cable plug to the INPUT Connector by matching the arrow symbols on the
plug and the terminal.
Caution
Do not rotate the camera or recorder without disconnecting the ribbon cable first. Damage
to the ribbon cable will occur and void the warranty.
8. Hook the Monitor onto the Mounting Bracket. Thread a screw to hole of the unit’s battery
compartment and turn it clockwise.
9. To activate clock battery, pull the insulator tab from the backside of Monitor.
10.Position the slot located at the top edge of the IntelliCorder 0onto the top tab of the Mounting
Bracket. Next, fit the slot located at the bottom edge of the IntelliCorder 0onto the lower tab of the
mounting bracket. Press the IntelliCorder 0firmly into position.
11.If using an SD memory card (not supplied) insert into the slot at the top of Monitor.
12.Insert the Batteries into the compartment, as indicated by polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
See Battery Installation (Page 5).

Operation
For First Use, the camera will undergo self-calibration within several seconds. IntelliCorder 0has
different languages, time/date format and flicker options available. Select your desired setting first
before use (see page 12).
To save battery power, the IntelliCorder 0will enter into sleep mode at 5 seconds when not in use or
no motion is detected.
SD Card (not included)
For increased recording time, data (Video files) can be stored onto standard SD memory cards. Data
from the IntelliCorder 0’s internal memory can also be downloaded to an SD card. The IntelliCorder 0
accepts SD memory cards up to 4GB.
SD Card Insertion/Removal
1. Insert SD card with the logo facing outward toward the LCD screen. Press the SD memory card
inward until it clicks into position.
2. To remove the SD memory card, press on it to release. It will click and eject out.
Record / Playback Time
Use one of the following SD card sizes in the chart below. The resolution setting determines the
recording length.
Resolution 128MB 512MB 1GB 4GB
Fine 8 min 32 min 64 min 256 min
SP (Standard Play) 13 min 52 min 104 min 416 min
LP (Long Play)* 21 min 84 min 168 min 672 min
* LP playback may contain more picture noise
Motion-Activated RECORD
The IntelliCorder 0can record high-resolution video with sound of visitors/intruders at your front or
back door, even when you are not home.
Before you begin
* Check the Battery Indicator
* If using an SD memory card, ensure it is properly installed.

10
1. When motion is detected, the IntelliCorder 0begins recording shortly after the PIR detects motion.
It continues recording until motion has ceased for 5 seconds.
2. The IntelliCorder 0is equipped with internal memory for immediate recording storage. Video files
are stored as MOTION JPEG format. If no SD memory card is detected, files will be stored to
internal memory. For longer recording time, you can use SD memory card up to 4GB. When the
memory is full (either internal or on SD memory card), IntelliCorder 0’s auto-deletion function will
erase three oldest files each time.
PIR Sensor activation may not occur when:
* Motion is very slow or very fast.
* Moving object is very small.
* Motion occurs only in 1 corner of viewing area.
Note: The PIR sensor will not detect motion through a glass storm door, screen door or metal gate.
