Identify all parts before proceeding with installation
Optimizing the Wireless Camera System
* The 2.4 GHz video signal passes easily through your home’s interior walls, but the signal may be reflected by
power wires or plumbing inside the wall.
* Alarm Volume can be adjusted using the volume control knob on the right side of the Monitor.
* The most common source of interference is cordless phones, microwave ovens, and WiFi products. Try to avoid
mounting the LCD Monitor near such devices.
* To avoid/minimize interference from wireless networks, we recommend you set your WiFi to channel 10.
