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 monitor, which is free
from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source or direct sunlight.
Avoid installing the camera where there are thick walls or obstructions between
the camera and the receiver.

12
Night Vision
This camera has built-in IR LED’s, which provides the camera with the ability to
view images in no/low light conditions. It is important to use the provided power
adaptor (and not the batteries) when using the camera for prolonged periods in
low light conditions, as the built-in IR LED’s will deplete the battery more quickly
than regular daytime use.
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 details on installation.
2. Mount the camera to the wall.
Mark the position of the screw holes on
the wall, and drill holes and insert 2
screws, then firmly attach the camera to
the wall by placing the stand over the
installed screws and pushing the base
downwards.
NOTE: The camera can also be placed on
a flat surface, such as a table or shelf,
and no mounting hardware is required.
3. Adjust the viewing angle of the camera
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
up the cameras with the receiver.
Refer to the camera pairing section of this manual.

13
Connecting Camera Power
The camera can be powered either by using the provided power adaptor or
using batteries (requires 3 AA type batteries, not included).
NOTE: Wireless cameras require a power source (either an electrical outlet or
battery power) to operate.
If you plan to permanently mount the camera in a location, it is recommended to
use the included camera power adaptor to prevent interruptions in the image,
as using battery power is intended as a temporary power solution.
Power Adaptor
Connect the power adaptor to the
camera. Make sure the power adaptor is
placed into a grounded outlet or surge
bar to protect the camera from power
fluctuations.
Battery Pack - Camera
1. Remove the battery cover from the
base of the camera.
