INSTALLING YOUR UNIT
Before installing the intercom camera, check to make sure that both the monitor and
Intercom Camera are operating properly. Select a location that is dry with good air
circulation, free from excessive dust and vibration.
Avoid locating the Intercom Camera onto metallic or reinforced concrete surfaces
and keep it away from metal shelving, mirrors, microwave ovens and wire free
network (WiFi) as this will reduce the operating distance.
1. Using the sunshield as a template, drill 4 suitable holes and attach the sunshield
to the wall using the screws and wall plugs provided.
2.Insert the 6 AA batteries into the grooves at the back of the unit.
OR
Guide the DC cable and unlock connection cable to terminal block via water
resistance plug, then place the back cover and fasten using the screws provided.
3.Fasten the intercom camera to sunshield by using the anti-theft screws provided.
6
You can mount the outdoor
camera with the stand on the
bottom (for a flat surface such as
a tabletop), on the side (for a wall),
or on the top (for the ceiling).
When you are positioning the
camera, you might want to bring
the monitor along; it’s much easier
to get the camera into the right
position when you have the display
handy.
The following tools are required:
• Electric Drill
• 5mm Drill Bit
• 15mm Drill Bit
• No. 2 Phillips Screwdriver
1. Hold the base of the camera
stand where you want to mount it and mark the location of the screw holes.
2. Use the included screws to attach the base to the wall or ceiling. You can also
screw the base into a flat surface such as a tabletop if needed.
3. Before attaching the camera, tug gently on the stand to make sure it is securely in
place.

Please note there may be slight functional variations depending on how the
