Your StyleCam security is designed to transmit high quality color images during daylight and B&W

* To extend the operating distance from your TV or VCR use the 18m cable included or for more length purchase
an A/V extension cable (sold separately) which are available at most electronics stores.
Note: We do not recommend extending the cable length past 100 metres where loss of signal may occur.
Multiple cable sections connected to make up one cable length will drastically reduce the video signal distance.

Step 1: At the end of your StyleCam camera cable or extension cable you will find two colored plugs:
•Yellow (Video RCA)
•Black (DC Power)
Step 2: Plug the yellow RCA plug (1) into the "Video In" input (2) (usually located at the back of your TV
or VCR).
Step 3: Connect the black plug (3) at the end of the cable into the black plug at the end of the power
adaptor (4).
Step 4: Plug the power adaptor (5) into an outlet or power point in your wall.
Step 5: If you have an A/V TV with RCA sockets you will need to switch the TV to the AV channel on
your TV to view the camera. To connect the StyleCam camera to your VCR, you will need to turn
the VCR to the A/V Input selection and turn your TV onto the channel you would normally use
to view a tape or movie on your VCR. This channel may be activated by a button on your remote
that is sometimes marked with this symbol , or L1 or L2 or possibly AV1 or AV2.
Note: The StyleCam will automatically turn on the Infra-Red LEDs when available light is too low to
support a clear picture.
Note: Please read the instructions for your VCR or TV for more information on using their
A/V inputs.
