A. Camera Setup
Before installing camera(s), carefully plan where and how it will be positioned,
and where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the power adapter.

Installation Tips

*
• Cameras are rated for indoor/outdoor installation, but are not intended for direct exposure
to rain or snow. For outdoor applications install under shelter protected from the elements.
• Wireless cameras require a power source to operate.
• Ensure power outlets are sheltered from the elements.
Use the included mounting screws to attach
1
the camera stand(s) to the mounting surface:
a. Mark the positions of the screw holes on the
mounting surface with the base of the mounting
stand.
b. Drill holes and insert the drywall anchors
(included) as needed.
c. Firmly attach camera(s) to the surface using the
included screws.
NOTE: If you run the power cable through the mounting surface, connect
power before attaching the camera to the wall.
2
Attach the camera stand(s) to the camera(s.)
Loosen the adjustment ring
3
on the metal camera stand(s)
and move the camera to the
desired position.
Tighten the adjustment ring
when finished, holding the
camera firmly in position.
Connect one end of the camera's power adapter to the camera and the other
4
end to an electrical outlet or surge protector. Make sure the power connector is
fully inserted to avoid water getting in the plug.
Remove the protective film from the front of the camera(s). If the film is not
5
removed, it will affect picture quality.
B. LCD Receiver Setup
Use a Phillips screwdriver
1
(not included) to open the
battery compartment on the
back panel.
Insert the included battery so the
2
statement "THIS SIDE UP" is visible,
and the clear plastic tabs on the side of
the battery face outwards. Replace the
battery compartment cover.
If you do not plan to use the unit for a prolonged period of time, remove the
battery or ensure you charge it at least once every 3 months.
Connect the included power adapter to the
3
receiver and to an electrical outlet.
NOTE: Make sure to first connect the
camera(s) to an electrical outlet before
powering on the receiver. This will ensure a
proper connection.
Adjustment ring
4
Pull up the antenna on the back of the LCD receiver.
Press and hold the power button on the front panel for
5
2 seconds. The startup screen appears, followed by live
video from your camera(s).
NOTE: If one or more cameras do not appear when selected (i.e.,
Camera 2 is plugged in but does not appear on channel 2), follow the
pairing process described in the user's guide.
Time
NOTE: AVOID INSTALLING IN A LOCATION
THAT REQUIRES THE WIRELESS SIGNAL TO
PASS THROUGH CEMENT, CONCRETE, OR
METAL STRUCTURES. THIS WILL REDUCE THE
TRANSMISSION RANGE.
Under 20
minutes*
Charge the receiver overnight before using.
The receiver's rechargeable battery provides up to 5 hours of portable use.
