Introduction

With the ELRO CZ40RIPS CAMERA SECURITY KIT, crime and vandalism can be prevented and you can monitor home and possessions.

  • Monitor
    The set comes with a 7-inch / 17 cm monitor on which images can be viewed live. The monitor has “touchscreen” operation. It is possible to continuously store footage if you insert an SD card in the slot of the monitor. The monitor can be connected to the internet with an included network cable. Using the ELRO Monitoring 2.0 app, you can view camera images on smartphone or tablet. The monitor has two antennas that provide an extra strong wireless connection to the camera.

Important!

  • Before starting mounting, check performance by viewing the image on the monitor viewing from the same location/position where the camera will be mounted.
  • The location should be free of dust and not in view of a strong light source or direct sunlight.
  • Avoid thick walls, steel structures, double glazing or other obstacles between the camera and the monitor.
  • This camera has built-in IR LEDs that allow images to be viewed in no/low light conditions. Images will then be shown in black and white.
Camera mounting
  1. Mark the position of the screw holes using the mounting bracket on the wall.
  2. Drill the holes and insert the 4 plugs.
  3. Attach the camera, insert the screws through the mounting bracket into the dowels and tighten the screws securely.
  4. Now point the camera at the area you want to monitor. Caution! Please be mindful of public order and point the camera only at properties.
  5. Connect the (9V DC / 0.6A) power adapter (see image below) to the camera.
  6. Press the plugs firmly together so that no moisture can enter.ELRO-CZ40RIPS-Camera-Security-Set-fig \(6\)

Note!
You can install 3 additional cameras (maximum 4 cameras). When adding cameras that were not in the original box, the cameras must be paired with the receiver. Refer to the Pairing section (see 5.2.1 Camera setup – Pairing) on pairing the cameras in this manual.

Usage

This chapter explains all the operating functions of the camera set. So you know exactly what is possible with this camera set.

  1. Viewing live footage
    When the set is plugged into the power socket for the first time, it is possible to see directly on the monitor the images the camera is transmitting. You can directly watch live what the camera sees.

  2. Automatic recording
    Via the motion detector settings (see 5.5.1 Motion detection settings), the camera can be adjusted to record when motion is detected as desired. It is possible to set the sensitivity and even hide areas. When an SD card is inserted in the monitor, the images are stored and can be reviewed at a later time.

  3. Manual recording
    Besides automatic recording, there is also the option to record manually. When an SD card is inserted in the monitor, the images are saved and can be reviewed at a later time.

  4. Viewing footage
    When an SD card is installed in the monitor, it is possible to look back at all recorded images. Via the Playback symbol (see 2.3 Overview shortcuts, 8 Playback), a schedule is retrieved and it is possible to search for a specific moment.
    When the specific day is tapped, a recording list is then displayed. In this list, you can go to a specific time to view these images. Tap on a specific time and the footage is immediately started. It is possible to start, pause, stop, rewind and delete the footage immediately.
    Further navigation allows you to continue to the next or previous recording, return to the previous page or return to the home screen altogether.

  5. Manual siren activation
    With the short cut on the start screen (see 2.3 Overview shortcuts, 5 Siren), it is possible to manually activate the siren. When you press and hold this button, the camera will sound a loud alarm until you release the button.
    Note! This is only possible when you see the images of one specific camera on the monitor. With a dual or quattro screen, it is not possible to activate the siren.

  6. Energy-saving Scan mode
    Scan mode is a way to activate the monitor, when motion is detected by the motion sensor. This function has the advantage that the screen is not on continuously and it is energy-saving.
    You enable Scan mode by briefly pressing the button once (see 2.1 Overview Monitor, 2 Scan modus) when the monitor is ON.

  7. Expanding the camera set
    The set is expandable to a complete security system with up to 4 cameras. Only the additional ELRO CC40RXX security camera is compatible for this system and is available separately from our sales channels.
    To pair the additional camera, see 5.2.1 Camera setup – Pairing.

General Settings

This chapter describes all menu screens of the monitor in detail. Tap the Pop- Up Menu Tab (see. 2.2 Overview symbols, 18 Pop-Up Menu Tab) icon and proceed to Menu (see 2.3 Overview shortcuts, 2 General Settings).
When there is no activity for 14 seconds, the menu will automatically close.

Navigation
Navigating the menu screens and subsections is easy using the finger.

  • Tapping this will take you back to the main screen.
  • Tapping this will take you back to the previous screen.

Menu
The general settings screen contains 6 subsections, each of which can contain sub-screens. These sub-screens allow you to set system functions. For example, you can turn cameras on and off, set up a specific schedule for specific cameras to record, set the date and time, and set the sensitivity for motion detection. The rest of this chapter provides details on how to use these screens.ELRO-CZ40RIPS-Camera-Security-Set-fig \(7\)
Camera setup – Pairing
The camera is linked to the monitor on channel 1 at the factory. When a new camera is added to the system, you need to “introduce” the camera and monitor to each other so they can communicate. You can also use this procedure to move a camera from one channel to another channel.
Proceed as follows:

  • Tap pairing on the camera setup screen.
  • Tap the channel number the camera should pair with.
  • A message appears with instructions to press the pairing button (see 2.4 Overview Camera, 12 Pair/Coupling) of the camera. This must be done within 30 seconds.
  • 3 seconds after the camera is successfully paired, the monitor shows the camera footage.

Note!

  • If a camera is already assigned to the selected channel, the pairing procedure overwrites the pairing of the camera with the new channel.
  • Pair only one camera at a time! The monitor connects to the first camera it recognizes. If two or more cameras are in pairing mode, you cannot determine which camera the monitor recognizes first.

Camera setup – Camera On / Off
When you add a camera to the system, it is automatically switched on. You may want to temporarily disable one of the cameras. You do this by flipping the switch of the respective camera. Green is enabled and grey is disabled. Although the camera is switched off, it is still paired.
Camera setup – Brightness
It is possible to set the brightness for each camera. This is useful if the camera is hanging in a room that is a bit brighter or darker. First tap 03 so that the arrows appear. Then tap the up or down arrows under the camera you want to adjust. 06 increases the brightness, 03 is the default value and 01 decreases it.
Camera setup – Resolution
For each camera, change the resolution. You can change the resolution to HD or FHD HD: 1280×720
FHD: 1920×1080
Depending on internet speed in combination with the app, we recommend starting with low video quality. Low resolution is fewer MBs so higher speed.
Camera setup – Night Vision Setup
For each camera, specify whether the Night Vision sensor (see 2.4. Overview Camera, 5 Night Vision sensor) should automatically detect or be disabled. If the sensor detects automatically, if there is sufficient blackout, the camera images will be shown in black and white.
Camera setup – Anti-flicker
Set the camera’s power frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) to prevent flickering.
Recording setup – Duration
You can set how long the camera keeps recording after motion detection triggers the recording. The options are 15 seconds, 30 seconds or 1 minute.
Tap the icon and make a selection. (Default = 15 seconds)
When the camera records continuously, the recordings will be cut into files that have a duration of 10 minutes. This cannot be adjusted.
Recording setup – Scheduled Recording / Continuous Recording
Here you can set a complete weekly schedule when each camera should start recording. You can set several cameras at the same time and the recording times can overlap. It is also possible to set within the recording schedule to record only when motion is detected. To do so, tap the ”Motion” button.
In the Scheduled recordings overview screen, you can see which days of the week and at which times recordings have been scheduled. To actually schedule and delete recordings, tap at the bottom right of the screen
Multiple cameras can be selected simultaneously and you can also choose to have scheduled recordings start only after movement.
The total recording time is limited to the available space on the SD card. If the SD card is set to overwrite the oldest files when it is full, the system continues recording; otherwise, recording stops until space is available.
Scheduled recordings are divided into 10-minute file sizes. For example, if you record a 25-minute event, you will have two 10-minute recordings plus a 5-minute recording.
If the camera set is to record continuously, it is necessary to create a recording schedule.
Recording setup – File overwrite
This feature lets you set the system to automatically overwrite the oldest files once the SD card is full. This allows you to continue recording. If you do not allow overwriting, recording stops when the SD card is full. The monitor will show that the SD card is full. (See 2.2. Overview symbols, 3 SD card)
Recording setup – Audio On / Off
For each camera, specify whether audio should be included when recording video. When audio is disabled, no sound is available when viewing the recording.
Recording setup – Motion Recording On / Off
For each camera, specify whether to record when the camera detects motion. If you disable it, the camera will not record. This is the default setting for the camera set. If the camera set is to record continuously, it is necessary to create a recording schedule (see 5.3.2 Recording setup – Scheduled recording).
System settings – Time Setup
Set the current date and time here. The system must be connected to your network via Ethernet cable to synchronize with the internet time server. With the Daylight Saving Time option, you can specify whether the system should take into account winter time and summer time.
System settings – Network setup
Continue setting the monitor’s network here.
Network setup – Wireless Transmitting
Specify which wireless protocol to use. By default, this is set to auto. This makes the monitor automatically search for the best and most stable channel (CH1-11). Maintenance is used for service purposes.
Network setup – Advanced setup
Here you can choose DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or STATIC (fixed) IP address. DCHP is the most common connection. The router automatically assigns an IP address to the system. Static IP is for those who have the ability to specify an IP address for their system.
Network setup – Reset password
This function resets the system to the default password “000000”. A new password can only be set via the app.
Network setup – Information
Here you will find all network information, nothing can be changed or set.
System settings – Language
Set the language here.
System settings – Default Settings
Reset the complete set to factory defaults. This resets stored data, settings and schedules to their default values. To reset the password, see 5.4.2.3 Network setup – Reset password.
System settings – Format Memory Card
Format the memory card. This will completely empty the memory card and delete all files.
System settings – Firmware Upgrade
You can upgrade to the most up-to-date firmware via this route. When the update symbol (see 2.2 Overview symbols, 7 Update Available) is visible, it means that a new firmware update is available. Choose to upgrade via an SD card or via the server.
Motion Detection Settings – Sensitivity
Here you can set the sensitivity of Video Motion Detection or PIR Detection for each camera. First select the combined or individual desire and then set the sensitivity. You can choose from High – Medium – Low – Off.
Video Motion Detection (VMD): Motion detection through pixel change
PIR Detection (HMD): Motion detection through heat displacement
Motion Detection Settings – Mask Area
It is possible to exclude certain areas in the screen from detection. The VMD will not detect and register a selected area, so that, for example, bushes and/or trees cannot cause detection.
Alert settings – Alert on monitor
The monitor offers the ability to trigger an alert alarm when motion is detected.
Warning on monitor – Alert volume
Set the volume of the alert. This sound consists of short beeps. When you turn up the volume, the bars will be filled and an example sound will be heard.
Warning on monitor – Channel Alert On / Off
Turn warning on or off per channel.
Warning on monitor – Alert Mute Schedule
Set a schedule when the monitor should mute all alerts. This may be applicable when you don’t want to receive alerts at night, for example. To actually schedule and delete recordings, tap
Alert settings – Alert on camera
Besides alerts via the monitor, the camera can also give an alert in the form of lighting or a voice message. Use the switches for each camera to set whether they should give illumination or a voice message.
This alert will be triggered when the camera has registered motion. Just make sure motion detection is enabled.
Lighting settings
The ELRO CZ40RIPS has no lighting. This function is therefore not in operation.

FAQ / Frequently asked questions

Are there any unanswered questions despite this comprehensive user guide? Then please refer to our FAQ. Below you will find a selection of the most frequently asked questions. Is your answer not listed here? Take a look at our FAQ at www.elro.eu or contact our customer service.
My camera is out of range.
Make sure the camera is in range of the monitor and that the monitor’s antenna is extended when using the system. This will result in an increased range of the camera set.
My camera is out of range, within a few meters of the monitor.
To find out where the problem is, check whether the camera is still receiving power. If necessary, contact our customer service.

  • Swap the adapter with another camera, if present.
  • Do the adapter and camera change temperature when connected to the power network? If not, the camera is not receiving power.
  • Use a voltmeter to test whether the adapter still provides voltage, if any. If not, the camera is not receiving power.
  • Does the camera make a ”click sound” when you put a hand on the lens for more than 3 seconds? This way you simulate night mode (black and white). No click to be heard? Then the camera is not receiving power.

Can I add a second monitor?
No, this is not possible. Only one connection can be made between a monitor and a camera.
What is the range of the motion sensor?
The range of the PIR sensor is around 5 meters. It can vary due to different conditions. For example, temperature and humidity.
The camera does not record motion/tiredly.
Check that Motion Recording is enabled. (See 5.3.5 Recording setup – Motion recording On / Off) Then check the walking direction of the person in front of the camera. If it walks straight towards the camera, the camera will not be able to detect the person (heat spot) properly. The heat spot must run from detection area to detection area to recognize movement.
How do I get my set back online in the ELRO Monitoring 2.0 App?
Check the comments (see 6. ELRO Monitoring 2.0 App, 6.1 Pairing). If necessary, try another port or reset the internet router.
Can I pair my old ELRO Camera with one of your new camera systems?
No, it is not possible to pair old ELRO cameras (before 2018) with our new ELRO systems. Check our website for the complete overview.
