1. Important!
Number of cameras in package: 1 camera
Maximum number of cameras in system: 2 cameras
Thereasonwhyonly2camerascanbeusedinthe
systemisbecauseofpossibleinterferencebetween
thechannels.Atotalof4channelsareavailable.The
camerasuseoneeachandthevideoLinkusesoneto
retransmiton.OnechannelshouldbeleftforWLAN
(wirelessinternetorotherdevices).
Cable extension
Ifthereareobstaclesbetweenthestableandthehome,addupto10mantennacable
oneachsideifnecessaryandplaceboththeantennasontheroofsofthebuildingsfor
afreelineofsight.

Free line of sight
A clear line of sight between antennas is necessary to receive a good picture
quality.(Notrees,buildingsorotherobjectsbetweentheA300antennas)
Eventhebranchesofatreecanbeaproblematanydistance.

Optimal picture quality is obtained when there is a clear line of sight, i.e. no obstacles
whatsoever between the antennas. Keep this in mind when planning your installation.
It is important that both A300-antennas are placed on the outside of the barn and the house
to reduce the number of obstacles. The antenna can be placed on the roof, outside an
upper oor or on another wall to avoid buildings or large trees in the line between the A300-
antennas. The included antenna cable allows the camera to be placed up to 25 m from the
transmitting A300-antenna. Extension cables are available, please contact your local retailer.
1. DecidewhereyouintendtoplacethetransmittingA300-antennaandthereceiving 
 A300-antenna.Itisimportantthattheantennasarepointedasstraightaspossible 
 towardseachother.
2. Makesurethatthereareasfewobstacles(trees,bushes,buildings)aspossibleinthe
 linebetweentheA300-antennas.
3. ThereceivingA300-antennaisconnectedtothevideoLinktoobtainawirelessrange 
 extensioninsideyourhouse.ThevideoLinkhasarangeof20-30metersindoors.

7. Before you begin the installation
Read the whole user guide before you start installing your cowCam-solution.
BeginwithchargingyourLCD-monitor.Youwillneedtouseit
lateronintheinstallationprocess.Thebatteryisonlypartially
chargedatdelivery.TheLCD-monitorwillonlyfunctionfora
shortwhileifnotcharged.Afullychargedbatterywilllast
forapproximately2hours.
1. Insertoneoftheincludedbatteriesintothe
 LCD-monitor.
2. Connectthepoweradaptormarkedwith5Vtothe
 LCDmonitor’spowersocket(markedwithDC5VIN)and
 theotherendtoawallsocket(220V).
3. MakesurethattheringaroundthebuttonontheLCD-
 monitorlightsup.Thelightwillturnoffwhenthebatteryis
 fullycharged.

8. Setting up the camera in your barn
1. Connectthesmallcameraantennatothebackofthe
 camera.
2. Attachthecameratothewall,upto12m*froma220V

9. Installing the transmitting A300-antenna
In order to send the picture from the camera wirelessly at the longest possible range, the
A300-antennas must be placed on the outer walls of the buildings, pointing directly at
each other.
1. Unplugthecamerapowersupply.
2. Removethesmallcameraantenna.
3. Attachtheantennacabletothe
 cameraanddragthecabletothe
 outerwallwhereyouhavechosento
 placethetransmittingA300-antenna.
4. Attachtheantennatothewall

As the receiving A300-antenna is
signicantly more sensitive than the
built-in receiving antenna of the LCD-
monitor, a somewhat unstable picture is
acceptable at this point.
1. Pluginthepowertothecamera
 again.
2. Testthesignalreceptionby
 bringingyourLCD-monitortothe
 placewhereyouintendtoputthe
 receivingA300-antenna.Generally
 youachieveabettersignalquality
 whenplacingbothantennasas
 highaspossible.

10. Installing the receiving A300-antenna
Place the receiving A300-antenna on an outer wall of your home facing the barn, and
point it towards the transmitting A300-antenna. Use the 5m antenna cable to connect the
antenna to the videoLink.
1. PointthereceivingA300-antenna
 asexactaspossibletowardsthe
 transmittingA300-antenna.
2. ScrewthereceivingA300-antenna
 temporarilyontothewallyouhave
 chosenwith1or2screws.
3. Slidetheshrinktubeontotheantenna

4. Leadtheantennacabletotheplace
 indoorswhereyouwillputthe
 videoLink.Becarefulnottobreakthe
 cable,especiallywhenmountingincold
 weather. Do this after you have

Begin with making sure the channel switchers are set correctly. The switch to the right
marked with M L sets the videoLink to Automatic Channel Looping (L) or Manual
Channel (M). The important switches for the troubleshooting are the four other
switches. By setting them to on or off, you choose which channels the videoLink is to
receive on, in other words the channel(s)l your camera(s) is sending on. For example, if
the camera is sending on channel 4, the switch marked 4 should be set to ON.
(Pointing down)
On the top side of the videoLink, on the right side (Receiver) you will see the receiving
channels you have chosen. If we follow the example above we will see number 4 lit up.
On the left side (Transmitter) you will see the channel the videoLink is retransmitting
the camera signal on. The transmitting channel must not be the same as the receiving
channel. In our example it would be suitable to let the videoLink transmit on channel 1
or 2.

16. Changing the frequency of the camera
If you believe that interferences in the picture are not a result of unnecessary obstacles
between the antennas, we advise you to change the camera frequency. The cowCam
camera can be changed to any of the four radio frequencies to avoid possible interferences.
Please take a look at the illustrations to learn how the respective frequency can be set.
1.Slidethecamerahoodforward
2.Rotatethecameraobjectivecounterclock-wise.
3.Changethedipswitchesaccordingtotheillustration.

Thetransmittingchannelofthecameraandthechannelofthereceivingpartofthe
