Connecting the Camera Installation Warnings: • Aim the Cameras to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source or direct sunlight.
Setting up the Wireless Receiver To connect the wireless receiver to a surveillance recorder (DVR): 1. Screw the antenna onto the top of the receiver. 2. Connect the BNC connector on the receiver directly into an available video input. NOTE: If necessary, attach the 3ft (1m) BNC/BNC extension cable at one end to the receiver and at the other end to the surveillance recorder.
