Camera Installation
Before you install the camera, carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will
route the cable that connects the camera to the power adaptor.
Before starting permanent installation, verify its performance by observing the image on the receiver
when camera is positioned in the same location/position where it will be permanently installed and the
receiver is placed in the location where it will be used most of the time.
Installation Warnings
Aim the camera(s) to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for the camera that provides a
clear view of the area you want to receive, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong
light source or direct sunlight.
Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick walls, or obstructions between the cameras and the
receiver.
Night Vision
This camera has built-in IR LEDs, which provides the camera with the ability to view images in no/low
light conditions. Night vision will be automatically switched on in low illumination condition.
Installing the Camera
1. Carefully unpack the camera.
NOTE: If you are installing cameras that did not come with the system, please see the pairing camera
section of this manual for installation details.
2. Mount the camera to the wall.
Mark the position of the screw holes on the wall, drill holes and insert the supplied 3 plastic anchors, then
firmly fix the camera bracket to the plastic anchors with supplied screws.
3. Adjust the viewing angle of the camera
You can adjust the viewing angle to monitor desired area by rotating the camera bracket.
4. Connect camera power
After the camera is installed, plug the AC adaptor power output cable into the 9V POWER jack of the
camera, and plug the power plug into a wall 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. Refer to the camera
pairing section of this manual.
Camera installation is now completed.
Camera Pairing
The system comes with camera(s) that have already been paired. These cameras will communicate with
the receiver once powered on.
The pairing function assigns each camera to a different channel on the wireless receiver (up to 4
cameras), and is necessary for configuring additional cameras.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to pair the cameras to the receiver before permanently mounting the
cameras.
1. Power on the receiver by connecting it to power outlet with supplied 5V power adaptor.
2. Power on the camera by connecting it to power outlet with supplied 9V power adaptor.
3. Press the Menu button on the receiver or remote controller.
Navigate to the Pairing menu option by pressing the ▼▲◄►
buttons on the remote controller or operating the joystick on the
receiver. Press the Enter button to enter the pairing operation.
4. Select a channel by pressing the UP and DOWN ▼▲ buttons
on the remote controller or pushing upwards/downwards the
joystick on the receiver. Press the Enter button to confirm the
selection.
5. A message will be displayed on the receiver screen.
The receiver will count down from 30~0 – you must press the
Pair button on the camera during this time to successfully pair
the camera.
If the button on the camera is not pressed, the receiver will
return to the view screen, and no pairing will take place.
6. Press the Pair button on the back of the camera.
Once the camera has been paired, it will be immediately
viewable on the receiver monitor.

Troubleshooting
If you have problems with the system, there is often a quick and simple solution. Please try the following:
Problem Solution
No picture from a camera
1. Check all connections to the camera. Make sure the adaptor is
plugged in.
2. Make sure that the receiver is ON.
3. Make sure that the camera is in range of the receiver.
The picture is dropping
1. Move the camera closer to the receiver.
2. Try repositioning the camera, receiver or both to improve the
reception.
Audio problems
1. Increase the volume when there is no sound.
2. Make sure that there is sound within range of the camera
microphone.
3. If the unit emits a loud screeching noise (audio feedback), move
the camera or receiver farther apart.
The picture is or has become
choppy
The picture may become choppy when experiencing a lower frame
rate (i.e. 10 frames per second vs. a higher 20 frames per second).
Try moving the camera closer to the receiver. Remove obstructions
between the receiver and camera.
The Picture appears to be grainy
when using AV out function to
view on a large screen TV/Monitor
The purpose of the AV output is for convenience only. When using
with large screen TV/Monitor, the picture might be grainy as the
camera limits video resolution to VGA (640x480 pixels). This is not a
product defect.
1. For best performance use with TV/Monitor PIP (Picture in Picture)
function. Check your TV/Monitor product manual to see if this feature
is available on your TV/Monitor.
2. View video on a smaller screen TV/Monitor.
Recording Problems
1. Make sure the SD card is inserted to SD card slot correctly.
2. Check the SD card is not full of memory.
3. Make sure the size of SD card is compatible with the system. The
system can support up to 16GB SD card.
