6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension
cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric
shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed
power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and
broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a
shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord,
and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated
insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.
7. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.
8. Surge Protectors - It is highly recommended that the
video equipment be connected to a surge protector.
Doing so will protect the equipment from damage
caused by power surges. Surge protectors should bear
the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.
9. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) - Because
this product is designed for continuous, 24/7 operation,
it is recommended that you connect the product to an
uninterruptible power supply. An uninterruptible
power supply has an internal battery that will keep the
product running in the event of a power outage.
Uninterruptible power supplies should bear the UL
listing mark or CSA certification mark.
Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Power line
operated equipment or accessories connected to this
product should bear the UL listing mark or CSA
certification mark on the accessory itself and should
not be modified so as to defeat the safety features. This
will help avoid any potential hazard from electrical
shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service
personnel.

Installing the camera
Installing the camera
Before you install the camera, plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will
route the cable that connects the camera to the power adapter.
• Before starting permanent installation, verify its performance by observing the image on a
monitor when camera is positioned in the same location/position where it will be permanently
installed
• The cameras are pre-paired so they work out of the box. Each camera has a channel number
sticker indicating what channel they are paired to. To manually pair your cameras, see
“Appendix C: Adding Cameras” on page 29.
To install the camera
1Use the included mounting screws to mount the stand to the mounting surface:
• Mark the position of the screw holes on the wall
• Drill holes and insert the drywall plugs as needed
• Firmly attach the stand to the wall using the provided screws
Installation Warnings
• Mount the camera indoors or outdoors. For outdoor installation, mount
it in a sheltered place where it is not directly exposed to rain or snow.
• Aim the Cameras to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for
the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor,
which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source
or direct sunlight.
• Placethe camera within 21 feet (6.5meters)of the area you wish to monitor
for motion during night time. This allows for optimal motion detection.
• Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick walls or obstructions
between the Cameras and the Receiver
• Selecta location forthe camera that has an ambient temperature between
14°F~122°F (-10°C ~ 50°C)

3Attach the camera to the mounting stand. Adjust the angle of the camera until the desired
view is set. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the desired camera position.
Connect camera stand
Tighten thumb screws
4Connect the black power cable extending from the camera to the cable of the power adapter;
plug in the power adapter to an outlet or surge protector.
NOTE: You can install additional cameras (maximum of 4 cameras). When adding cameras
that were not included in the original box, you will need to pair the cameras with
the receiver. For details,see “Appendix C: Adding Cameras” on page 29.

Installing the camera
Connecting the Wireless Receiver
To set up the wireless receiver:
1Twist the antenna clockwise onto the antenna port. Do not over tighten.
2Connect the Black cable from the AV cable to the AV Out port of the receiver. Connect the
Yellow video cable and White audio cable (mono) to your TV, DVR, or observation system.
3Connect the cable from the power adapter to the 9V DC port, and then connect the power
adapter to an outlet or surge protector.

Connect to TV/DVR
4Insert the included SD card into the SD Card slot on the right panel of the receiver until you
hear a "click."
SD Card
IR Extender
NOTE: The receiver is compatible with most major brands of SD card up to 16 GB. For
recording times on SD cards, see “Appendix F: Estimated Recording Times on SD
Cards” on page 33.
5Place the receiver in an area that will have a clear reception to your camera.
• Avoid installing the receiver which requires the wireless signal to pass through cement,
concrete, and metal structures. This will reduce the range of transmission.
6Change the video input on your TV or monitor to the corresponding input of the video cable
(i.e. Video 1, Video 2, Auxiliary, etc.).
OPTIONAL: Connect the included IR extender to the IR Extend port. Use the IR extender to
hide the receiver from plain sight. You can conceal the sensor of the IR Extender and still
fully control the system using the included remote control.
