Installation Guide

2NookBox Installation Guide NB Camera IR Detector
NookBox Camera IR Detector is a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor camera. It is capable of sending
wireless signals and captured images (picture quality of up to 640 × 480 pixels) to the Control Panel upon
movement detection.
The PIR Camera is designed to give a typical detection range of 12 meters when mounted at 2.3-2.5
meters above ground. When Pet Immunity function is enabled, the motion sensor camera will not detect
pets up to 25kg when mounted at 2.3-2.5 meters above ground. NookBox Camera IR Detector is also
compatible with Nookbox Repeater RP-29/Router RMB-29, which can further extend the RF
communication range into hard-to-reach areas.
NookBox Camera IR Detector is designed with the digital proximity detector. The anti-masking feature
allows for detection of any attempts to blind the detector by placing objects in its eld of view.
Remote conguration is supported for the PIR camera. Besides adjusting the Jumper Switches, users can
also enable/disable pet immunity function and adjust the sensitivity of the PIR camera from the Control
Panel webpage or Home Portal Server.
The PIR Camera consists of a two-part design made up of a cover and a base. The cover contains all
the electronics and optics and the base provides a means of xing. The base has knockouts to allow
mounting on either a at surface or in a corner situation with a triangular bracket for corner mounting.

Features
LED Indicator
In Normal operation mode, the Blue LED will not light except in the following situations:
• When the PIR Camera is in low battery condition, every time it transmits a detected movement, the Blue LED will ash for 2 seconds.
• When the cover is opened and the tamper switch is violated, the Blue LED will ash for 2 seconds, to indicate it is transmitting
“Tamper” signal.
• When the Tamper condition persists, every time it transmits a detected movement, the Blue LED will ash for 2 seconds.
• When PIR Camera enters Test Mode, the Blue LED will ash for 1 second. During Test mode, the Blue LED will also ash for 2 seconds
every time a movement is detected.
• When the PIR Camera is in 30 seconds warm up period, the Blue LED will slow ash.
• When the PIR Camera is transmitting captured images under fault conditions (low battery, tamper switch activated), the Blue LED
will continuous ash.
The LED will not ash if the PIR Camera tamper and battery are normal and is not under test mode, If the LED ashes to indicate signal
transmission, it will ash twice rapidly upon receiving acknowledgement from panel.
Image Capture
When the alarm system is armed, the PIR Camera will capture 1, 3 or 6 alarm images in 640 × 480 or 320 × 240 resolutions (programmable
from Control Panel) upon movement detection. You can also manually request the PIR Camera to take a picture through the Control Panel.
The captured images will be transferred to the Control Panel for users to view.
<NOTE>
If your PIR Camera is installed at a location where the camera’s eld of view is a complex environment with intense light or lots of colors, the images captured
will be great in le size, possibly leading to truncation when the images are transmitted to the Control Panel.
Warm Up Period
When the Control Panel system enters arm mode, or when PIR Camera is put into Test Mode, the PIR Camera will warm up for 30 seconds.
During the 30-second warm up period, the PIR Camera will not be activated. The Blue LED will slow ash during the warm up period only
when PIR enters for Test Mode.
Sleep Timer
The PIR Camera has a “sleep time” of approximately 1 minute to conserve power. After transmitting for a detected movement, the PIR Camera
will not retransmit for 1 minute. Any detected movement during this period will reset the sleep time to 1 minute. Continuous movement in front
of the PIR Camera will therefore not exhaust the battery.
Battery and Low Battery Detection
The PIR Camera uses three CR123A 3V Lithium batteries in series connection as its power source.
The PIR Camera features Low Battery Detection function. When the battery voltage is low, the PIR Camera will transmit a low-battery signal
to the Control Panel. If movement is detected under Low Battery condition, the Blue LED will ash for 2 seconds.
When changing the batteries, after removing the old batteries, press the Tamper Switch or the Function Button twice to fully discharge before
inserting new batteries

Tamper Protection
The PIR Camera is protected by a tamper switch which is compressed when the PIR Camera is properly installed. When the PIR Camera is
removed from mounted surface or its cover opened, the tamper switch will be activated and the PIR Camera will send a tamper open signal to
the system control panel to remind the user of the condition. If movement is detected when the tamper switch is open, the Blue LED will ash
for 2 seconds.
Supervision
The PIR Camera will conduct a self-test periodically by transmitting a supervisory signal once every 90 to 110 minutes.
Test Mode
• Test mode is for you to check the PIR camera’s detection range (not shooting coverage).
• Press the Function button once to enter Test mode for 3 minutes, the Blue LED will flash for 1 second.
• The PIR camera will warm up for 30 seconds. Please do not trigger the Camera during this warming-up period.
• After the warm-up period, you can trigger PIR camera to check IR detection range. If PIR camera is triggered,
the Blue LED will flash for 2 seconds.
<NOTE>
For Test Mode to run smoothly, It is recommended to disable sleep timer.

Installation
Installation Guideline
• The PIR Camera is designed to be mounted on either a flat surface or in a corner situation with fixing screws and plugs provided.
• The base has knockouts, where the plastic is thinner, for mounting purpose. Two knockouts are for surface fixing and a triangular
mounting bracket is used for corner fixing.
• The detection range is up to 12 meters if the PIR Camera is mounted at a height of 2.3-2.5 meters above the ground.
• When Pet-Immunity function is enabled, it will not detect pets up to 25kg when mounted at a height of 2.3-2.5 meters above the ground.
If required, you can adjust the height of the PIR Camera according to the size of your pet for optimal pet immune performance. Higher
installation location will provide larger pet-immune space, but also increases the blind spot under the PIR Camera.
• When NookBox Camera IR Detector is mounted with rotating bracket, it will not have the regular detection area (as in the diagram),
or the typical pet immune range.
It is recommended to install the PIR Camera in the following locations:
• At a location where the animals cannot come to the detection area by climbing on furniture or other objects.
• Don’t aim the detector at stairways the animals can climb on.
• At a position such that an intruder would normally move across the PIR’s field of view.
• At a height between 2.3 and 2.5 meters above the ground for best performance.
• In a corner to give the widest view.
• At a location where its field of view will not be obstructed e.g. by curtains, ornaments etc.
Limitations
Do not install outdoors. Avoid large obstacles in the detection
area.
Do not expose the PIR completely to
direct sunlight.
Avoid vapor or high humidity that can
cause condensation.
Avoid moving objects, e.g., curtains,
wall hangings, etc., in the detection
area.
Avoid reected light from bright
surfaces, e.g. mirrors, windows, etc.
Avoid installing the PIR in areas where
machines such as air conditioners or
heaters may cause rapid change in
temperature in the detection area.
Avoid reecting surface in the
detection area. Reected infrared
signatures may lead to false alarm.
