CHOOSING A CAMERA MOUNTING LOCATION

The Wireless Add-on Color Camera is desiged to be mounted to a wall. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. When choosing a mounting location, please be advised:

• The wireless camera must be used with a GE

Wireless Home Monitoring system. The location of the GE Wireless Receiver or monitor may affect where you mount the camera.

• This camera is designed to be reliable for outdoor use; however its flexible design allows it to be used indoors as well. It is expecially suited for viewing large areas in low or no light.

• If using outdoors, take time to first consider how you will route the cable back the power adapter. The mounting bracket routes the cable through the bracket providing a vandal-resistant design. There is a slot located at the base of the

mounting plate so that the cable can exit the cable ran on the outdoor surface. The cable can also be routed out the bracket and along a wall and/or ceiling keeping it hidden/protected.

• The universal multi-axis bracket allows you to mount at almost any angle.

• DO NOT position the camera so that it points directly into the sun or any bright light as this may cause damage to the camera.

• Avoid positioning the camera so that it is viewing areas where half of the area is in bright sunlight and the other half is dark, such as the shadow of a building. All types of cameras have difficulty

“seeing” into areas of such divergent light levels.

• In low light conditions, the camera will automatically activate its high-powered Infrared

(IR) LED’s and switch the camera to Long Range

Night Vision mode. Long Range Night Vision viewing distance can be up to 60ft, and will be viewed in B/W.

• The included AC adapter must be positioned no farther than 8’ from an AC outlet. Do not use the supplied adapter outside. If you need to extend the AC adapter cable, 12 ft. extensions are available by contacting Technical Support at

800-654-8483.

• The Camera has an unobstructed wireless transmission range up to 200 ft. from the receiver. Transmission distance indoors is reduced due to interior walls, wiring, household fixtures and metal plumbing.

LONG RANGE NIGHT VISION

The 45245 Wireless Color

Camera features Long

Range Night Vision tech- nology. Objects and images can be seen in little or no light up to 60 ft. The camera uses a special image

20 Infrared

(IR) LEDs sensor that automatically detects available light levels.

It turns on/off the

Sensor high-powered Infrared (IR) LEDs on the front of the camera. These LEDs provide artificial light that allows the camera to ‘see’ in the dark. Night Vision

will appear as a Black and White image. When the image sensor detects enough light, color will return to the images.

MULTI-CAMERA SYSTEMS

The Wireless Add-on Color Camera is designed as an add-on camera to work only with a variety of GE

7

Wireless Camera Systems - 45234, 45236, 45239,

45246. Each system can accept a maximum of two cameras.

CAMERA CHANNEL SELECTION

Each wireless camera must be assigned to a specific channel (1 or 2) through the use of a slide switch located on the inside of the camera housing.

First slide off the sun shield and then unscrew the lens from the camera. The receiver or monitor must have its channel selection set to the same corresponding number.

In a two camera system, one camera is set to

Channel 1 and the other is set to Channel 2.

The receiver or monitor must be set to the 2 camera position in order to view both cameras alternately

(see receiver or monitor manuals for specific channel selection requirements).

INSTALLATION

Wall Mount or Ceiling Mount — you will need:

- Drill

- 3/8" Drill bit (if running cable thru wall or ceiling)

- 1/8" drill bit (for drilling screw pilot holes if mounting into wood or non-brick material)

- 3/16" drill Bit (for drilling holes for plastic anchor s if mounting onto drywall or brick material)

- a screwdriver.

- Adjustment wrench (included)

Step 1. Mounting preparation

Once a suitable location for the camera has been selected and the cable route has been determined, you will need to use the camera’s mounting bracket as a template to mark holes for drilling. Mark three holes on the wall for the anchors or screws as shown. Please take care to mark the center of the holes.

Note: Before mounting camera permanently, check to ensure the appropriate channel has been selected (see Channel Selection) to provide good reception at the receiver/monitor.

Step 2. Cable routing -IMPORTANT

(a) If running the cable along the wall surface, position cable through slot at base of mounting bracket before installing mounting bracket (see figure A).

Figure A (Running cable on surface of wall)

Pilot holes for mounting screws

(b) If the cable needs to be ran through a wall or ceiling, then an additional hole will need to be drilled using the 3/8” drill bit. Drill the hole in the center of the three mounting screw holes (see

figure B). Fit connector and cable through hole before securing the mounting bracket.

Step 3. Mounting bracket

(a) If mounting to a stud, wood surface or other non-brick material, use the 1/8” drill bit to drill pilot holes; drill holes. Align holes in mounting bracket to drilled holes, insert screws and screw in until plate has secure fit. Do not over tighten screws.

(b) If mounting to drywall or brick material, use plastic anchors (see Figure C). Using 3/16” drill bit

(masonry bit, if drilling into brick), drill holes and insert anchors into drilled holes for snug fit. Align holes in mounting bracket to drilled holes, insert screws and screw in until plate has secure fit. Do not over tighten screws.

(c) Using included adjustment wrench, slightly loosen the hex head bracket nuts on camera bracket to position camera’s multi-axis bracket so camera is pointed toward desired viewing area. Tighten bracket nuts. Do not over tighten nuts.

(d) Take care to position the camera in the correct orientation. To ensure the camera image is not positioned upside down, you may have to rotate the camera housing so the channel slelection

Step 4. Antenna Adjustment

Once mounted adjust the camera’s antenna to achieve best reception.

Note if ceiling mounted, you may not be able to position the antenna completely vertical (pointed up). It is acceptable to position the antenna vertically but pointed down.

This typically will not cause any interference or reduce the reception ability of the camera. Do not force the antenna beyond physical stops.
