2 CAMERAINSTALLATION
To view the SuperCam2 picture ;
1. Select the VCR channel on your TV. This is the channel you normally use for
watching a video tape.
The Supercam2 is designed for outside use and should be positioned at a height of
between 2.3 to 3.0 metres, no more than 5 metres away from where conversation
would be held
Please also bear in mind the following points when choosing a mounting position.
•The camera must be positioned so that it will not point directly into the sun
(sunrise and sunset) or any bright light, as this may cause damage to the
camera.
•Avoid viewing areas where half the area is in bright sunlight and the other
half is dark, such as in the shadow of a building. All types of cameras have
difficulty in ‘seeing’ with such a large lux level variation.
WHERE TO POSITION THE SUPERCAM
Note : some models of TV use channel 0 for the AV input. See the television
instruction for further details
When you connect the SuperCam2 to a Scart socket NO TUNING is
required. Simply press the appropriate button on the TV or VCR to see the
picture.
The button will look like one of the following ;
HOW TO SELECT THE AV INPUT

IF THE SCARTSOCKET IS IN USE, OR THE PICTURE ISTO BE VIEWED ON MULTIPLE
TVS:
RF Modulator - CT210
This unit will allow the SuperCam1 to be connected to the aerial input of your TV or video
recorder. This means that the SuperCam1 can be connected to your TV even if the scart
socket is occupied and it will also enable viewing on other TV sets in the property with the use
of an aerial distribution amplifier.
IF THE CABLE SUPPLIED IS TOO SHORT:
15 metre Extension lead - CT253
This 15 metre lead will simply plug in between the supplied lead and the camera head lead
adding to the distance that the camera can be installed away from the TV. Up to 5 extension
leads may be used with one camera enabling it to be sited up to 95 metres away from the TV.
IF YOU REQUIRE THE CAMERA TOACTIVATE YOUR VIDEO RECORDER
AUTOMATICALLY:
VideoActivator - CT220-1
This unit plugs into the SuperCam1 lead and when it is switched into the record mode it will
automatically activate the record facility of most domestic VCRs on receiving an alarm signal
from the SuperCam1s PIR for a period of 30/60 seconds.
IF YOU REQUIREA DATED RECORD OF AN EVENT:
Time and Date Generator- CT230
This unit will plug in between the scart plug of the superCam2 lead and video recorder and
superimpose the actual time and date on to any recording of events as they happen.
If you have any questions about our products or if you have difficulty in locating

GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR SUPERCAM 2
CAMERA SPECIFICATIONS
•The camera will work in low light conditions, but ensure a light, such as a
200W tungsten halogen lamp, is fitted near to the camera for good visibility
at night-time.
•The PIR sensor is at it’s most sensitive when a person moves across the face of
the sensor rather than towards the sensor. This means the person crosses
more detection beams and the PIR sensor is therefore more sensitive.
Maximum detection range is 7 metres.
•Avoid placing the SuperCam 2 close to heater flue outlets, trees or bushes
which may cause a false alarm.
•The camera cable supplied may be extended up to 100 metres. Please bear
this in mind when choosing your siting position.
PLEASE NOTE - THE SUPERCAM PIR SENSOR WILL NOT OPERATE THROUGH
GLASS & PLASTICS
Pag
You can now check the camera’s view in different positions enabling you to choose the best
position for your property,
When laying the cable, please bear in mind the following points.
a) Keep the camera cable away from other cables where possible to
reduce the risk of picture and audio interference
b) Avoid laying the cable next to anything which runs hot which could
possibly burn the cable.
c) If the cable is run along the ground, a protective covering must be
used to prevent the cable from being damaged.
