Use as ADDITIONAL CAMERA for TX-128 Set
The first camera has been matched with monitor in the factory
already. The image shows up when the kit is powered on. If users
need to pair the camera again or add an additional camera,
operate as below:
Step one: Power on the monitor and camera.
Step two: Reset the camera to enter the pairing mode.
Step three: Enter the Match code interface on the monitor and
click on the match code.
Tips:
1) The camera can only perform the pairing in the reset state; the

13
Model: TX-190 Article No. 4989, 09/2022
camera needs a reset to perform the pairing mode.
2) If the camera does not pair with the monitor, click “Match Code”
again to try again.
3) If you need to replace a new camera, please click "X" on the
monitor to delete the channel and then click on match code.
Note:
•Do not insert a MicroSD card into the camera when paired with
TX-128 monitor.
•When using the camera with TX-128, you are not able to make
settings like for standalone mode via App.
Signal reception
After setup, the camera uses the WiFi network to send notifications to your
Security Premium account and to provide you with live view and video
playback. Files are saved local on the inserted MicroSD card.
For best results, we recommend placing your camera in a location where
the Security Premium App displays at least three bars of WiFi network
signal strength in the life view. If your camera is in an area with
consistently low signal strength (two bars or less), you might experience
these problems:
•You are sometimes unable to view your camera live, or the video
stream fluctuates.
•You are sometimes unable to watch recorded videos right away.
•Notifications are sometimes delayed.
•Your battery depletes more quickly than usual because your camera
spends so much time attempting to reconnect to the network.

14
Model: TX-190 Article No. 4989, 09/2022
Mounting
PIR sensor (motion detection) is sensitive to hot and cold
disturbances, note:
1. Avoid installing the camera where the air flow is agitated.
For example: the air outlet of the air conditioner, the heat dissipation port
of the equipment, the side of the fan, the vicinity of the curtain, etc.
2. Do not install the camera facing the lens in front of window, glass or
mirror.
Alignment
Camera
When placing your camera, keep these tips in mind:
•Avoid placing the camera in an area that gets a lot of light shining
directly into the camera lens.
•You can move and zoom the field of view.
•Keep active locations in the camera’s field of view. The camera
provides a 100° viewing angle. Position your camera so that the
space you want to monitor is within the camera’s field of view.
•To help with placing your camera, do a live stream from the camera.
Aim the camera while watching the video feed on your Security
Premium smartphone App to make near-real-time adjustments to the
camera’s position.
Tripod
Note: If you drill a hole in the wall, please make sure that power cables,
electrical cords and/or pipelines are not damaged. When using the
supplied mounting material, we do not take the liability for a professional
installation. You are entirely responsible to ensure that the mounting
material is suitable for the particular masonry, and that the installation is
done properly. When working at higher altitudes, there is danger of falling!
Therefore, use suitable safeguards.
The camera has a threaded socket on the back for a 1/4 inch tripod thread,
which you will find on almost all commercially available camera tripods.
This allows you to mount the camera on a variety of tripods or wall mounts
available in the trade.
Magnet Base
The magnet base is able to be used in two ways.
1. Remove the protection of the base sticker and stick the base to an
object you want the camera to mount to. The object needs a smooth

15
Model: TX-190 Article No. 4989, 09/2022
surface to have optimal contact to have a tight fit. The magnet in the base
is mounted to the bottom of the camera.
2. Remove the protection of the base sticker and stick it to the bottom of
the camera (at the rear end for optimal weight distribution). Use the metal
plate, remove the protection sticker and stick it to an object you want the
camera to mount to. The object needs a smooth surface to have optimal
contact to have a tight fit. The magnet in the base is mounted to the metal
plate.
