you’re adding cameras, are troubleshooting or want to pair cameras with different channels. For more details on
pairing cameras, see the user manual.
Press and hold the Power button

4Mounting the Camera
When mounting the camera, bring the monitor with you because it’s easier to obtain the best view for the camera when
you can actually see what you are aiming at.
Place the base of the camera stand in the location you
want to mount it and mark the
screw holes on the surface
to position the screws. Then,
using the included screws and
wall plugs, screw the camera
into place.
The camera comes with a built-in
stand, which you can mount to a wall
or any suitable vertical flat surface.
Adjust the viewing angle of the camera by loosening the screws shown here
using the supplied L-wrench. Tighten
them once the camera is in the desired
position.

5(Optional) Connecting to your TV
Is your TV screen flickering? Navigate to Menu > System > TV System and make sure the selected setting (PAL or
NTSC) is the same as your TV’s video format.
The monitor’s AV Out port lets you connect to your TV to view live video and recordings on a
much bigger display.
Connect the black AV connector on the AV cable to the AV Out port located on
the side of the monitor.
Connect the three color-coded
connectors on the AV cable to the
corresponding video and audio inputs on
Press the Trash button on the monitor to switch the monitor’s display to your TV. Make sure you set your
TV to display from the AV input ports connected to the
monitor. MENU
OK

The Wireless Monitor’s On-screen Menu
allows you to access a variety of settings
(System, Record, Playback, Camera and
Alarm) for the system.
Navigating through the menus is easy; use
the Arrows to highlight options, the OK
button to confirm selections and the MENU
button to move back to the previous screen.
Now, let’s take a moment to run through
some important menu options that will
allow you to configure basic settings for the
system when you turn on the monitor for the
first time.

5Recording Storage Media

From the Main Menu:
Select System > Brightness
You can adjust the brightness level of the
monitor screen if the default brightness level
doesn’t allow you to see video clearly on the
screen.
Changing the brightness does not affect the
actual images coming from your cameras,
just how they are displayed.
6Display Brightness

From the Main Menu:
Select Camera > PIP Setting
You can change a camera’s video resolution
and quality setting.
High resolution looks sharper and clearer,
but require more data and, therefore, a
better wireless signal to transmit.
The Top quality setting gives you the best
looking image possible but also require
more space on your storage media when
recording videos.

From the Main Menu:
Select Alarm > PIR Detection
The monitor can be set to produce an audio
alarm when a camera’s infrared sensor
detects movement. The volume of the alarm
will be determined by the volume setting on
the monitor.
The camera’s infrared sensor is also
used to trigger motion-based recording
(Select Record > PIR Recording). It’s the
recommended way to get your system to
operate almost autonomously for long
periods of time without having to worry
about available space in your storage media.
