Camera

General
The cameras included with your monitor are weatherproof and have an IP66 rating. Water can be sprayed on them and they will still work; however, the cameras cannot be submerged.
The cameras can be exposed directly to the rain, it is recommended that, if they are used outdoors, they should be mounted under some type of cover like a patio overhang or eave. As rainwater drops on the camera glass, it may create spots that will reflect the light from the infrared LEDs used for night vision, thus causing lower quality video.
Also, as dust, grime, and cobwebs accumulate on the camera glass, they can reflect light from the infrared LED and might lower video quality. Periodically clean the lens glass with a soft cloth is recommended.

Placement Considerations

Consider the following when placing cameras:

• The clearest line-of-sight between the camera and monitor is best.
• Walls, especially brick and concrete will shorten the transmission distance.
• Placement next to windows allows better transmission.
• Optimized motion detection range is 6-18 feet for the camera. The farther away an object is, the less accurate the motion detection.
• Avoid having a direct light source in the view of the camera, including street lights, ceiling or floor lamps, spotlights in the driveway, etc.
• Rainfall, pool water ripples/reflections, tree/shrub leaves blowing in the wind – and the shadows they create – can generate motion detection false alarms.

Install Cameras

When positioning the camera, better to bring the monitor along with; it’s much easier to get the camera into the right position with the display.

1. Position the camera where you want it, plug it into power, and check video on the monitor. Move the camera if the view is not what you want.
2. Hold the base of the camera stand where you want to mount it and mark the location of the screw holes.
3. Use the included screws and anchors to attach the base to the wall or ceiling.
4. Adjust the screws on the bracket to make sure your camera point to the right position.

Adding New Cameras

Your monitor supports a total of four active cameras at a time. When you add a camera, you have to pair it to the monitor (that is, you have to “introduce” the camera and monitor to each other so they can communicate).

• If a camera is already assigned to the channel you want to assign the new camera to, the monitor will overwrite the existing camera and link with the new one.
• Only pair one camera at a time! The monitor links to the first camera it detects. If two or more cameras are in pairing mode, you can’t control which camera the monitor will detect first.

Pair Cameras

1. From the Pairing Camera screen, choose the channel you want to pair. A processing icon displays for a 30 second countdown.
2. During the 30 second countdown, quickly press and release the Pairing button on the camera.
