For soft materials such as wood skip to step 9.For concrete, brick, or stone surfaces, drill holes 23 mm deep with a6-mm bit.Put the wall plugs into the holes.8.9. Screw the mounting bracket to the wall.Slide the mounting ring into the mountingbracket until it clicks intoplace.To remove the wall mount:10.1. Remove the dome cover and take the camera out of the mountingring.To remove the mounting ring, press the catch on the wall bracket witha flat-tipped screwdriver and push the mounting ring upward.2.3. Remove the three screws to remove the wall mount.II
2-SETTING UPHidden installationThe camera can be concealed in a variety of locations such as behind a thin partitionor inside a suitcase.Note: Drill a 6.3mm diameter hole in the surface you want to mount the camerabehind. To prevent the camera view from being obscured, the surfacethat the camera is behind must not exceed 3 mm in thickness.The focus on the camera is factory adjusted to allow for viewing through the domecover, When used without the dome cover, you must readjust the focus accordingly.Refer to the following to mount the camera in a hidden location.1. Remove the dome cover. ~("';d . "".(::)'£IT2. Adjust the focus by turning the lens.-(@'~1(qf3. Screw the hidden mount onto the camera.12

2-SETTING UPAdjusting the camera angleThe camera can only be tilted in one direction 90 degrees and rotated 360 degrees.Adjust the camera gently. If it does not move easily, move it in the other direction.Note: The focus on the camera is factory adjusted to allow for viewing throughthe dome cover. Only adjust the focus when using the camera withoutthe dome cover.14
3-0perationThe chapter describes the operation of the remote camera.Operating restrictions. Only use 9V batteries with the adapter..Avoid using the camera in humid locations. If condensation occurs, allow thecamera to dry before operating.Do not use in temperatures below -10 degrees Celsius or above 55 degreesCelsius...Proximity to microwave ovens can cause interference and reduce the qualityof the audio and video signals.Using two cameras in the same vicinity may result in sound and pictureinterference..
3-0PERATIONMatching channelsA camera and receiver together form a camera/receiver pair. Set a paired camera andreceiver to the same channel. If you are using two or more camera/receiver pairs besure that each pair is set to different channels or there will be interference.Up to four cameras can be used with one receiver. Each camera must be set to adifferent channel. Video from each camera can then be viewed in turn by changing thechannel on the receiver.0ON-I;@@)~,"~jStandard always-on operationStandard operation allows continuous audio and video signals ITomthe camera to thereceiver. The video is monitored on a screen but not recorded. Audio is monitoredthrough the AV device that is connected to the receiver. (Or through the receiverspeaker when the audio terminator is used.)16
REED SWITCH OPERATIONReed switch operationA reed switch is a magnetically activatedswitch. The reed switch can be used with thesensor cable for detecting entry through doorsand windows. The sensor cable plugs into thereed switch and the RlC IN connector on thecamera. The NO NC switch stands forNormal Open/Normal Closed and refers tothe status of the sensor.DCIN@)NOIINCQ)NNote: The sensor cable can be attached to other triggers as required.Reed switch installationInsert the sensor cable wires into the reed switch and secure them by tightening thescrews.Set to NO (Normal Open)Set the NO NC switch to NO and set up the reed switch on a window. When thewindow is closed the alarm sounds on the receiver.Set to NC (Normal Closed)Set the NO NC switch to NC and set up the reed switch on a window. When thewindow is opened the alarm sounds on the receiver.17
3--OPERATIONRIC cable operationThe R/Ccableis a relay connectingcable,whichallowsrecordingof audioandvideoto be triggered by an alann such as the supplied reed switch. This function savesrecording space as recording only begins after an event such as a door opening orclosing.The R/C cable is connected to thereceiver and to a video recorder. Whenthe reed switch is triggered at the cameralocation, the R/C cable then triggers thevideo recorder to begin recording. (Forconnecting the R/C cable to a videorecorder, see the recorder's user manual.)Note: An external alann (not supplied) can be used.Switching audio outputThe audio tenninator forces audio from the microphone and alann to the receiverspeaker. The volume control on the receiver only affects the volume on the receiverand not a connected TV or other video device.Plug the red audio RCAjack from the AVcable into the audio tenninator.Adjust the volume accordingly.18~ ~@+4 .
