monitor/receiver.
4. Check camera operation by moving your hand infront of the PIR
and checking that the gren light flashes on the PIR.
Blank Monitor
Interference on the camera picture
1. Check that each transmitter and receiver is within range
and that no large obstructions are blocking the signal,
2. Try repositioning the camera/transmitter or the monitor/
receiver to improve the reception quality.
3. If a transmitter is positioned close to the receiver, point the
antenna away from the receiver.
4. Check the lead has been unbundled
5. Check that the lead is not running along side any other cables.
6. Check if there is any other equipment transmitting on the
2.4GHz frequency nearby.
Poor picture at night.
1. Check the Monitor is switched on,
2. Check the power adaptor is plugged in an turned on at the
Mains outlet.
3. If running on batteries try replacing the batteries.
4. Ensure the batteries are installed correctly.
Audio problems

INSTALLATION
CAMERA INSTALLATION
1. Unpack the camera / transmitter
2. Decide on wall or desk mounting the camera. If wall mounting there is a useful drilling guide on the back cover of the instructions. The camera can be adjusted for both by rotating the camera head to the required position.

Desk/ Tabletop Wall Mount
Dwell Time Setting (Time taken to switch between cameras)
To alter the dwell time press both of the buttons on the front of the unit simultaneously. Each flash of the LED increases the dwell time by one second. The dwell time is preset to 4 seconds, but can be adjusted between 2 to 30 seconds.
3. Decide whether to connect using the camera power supply or rechargeable battery pack (Not for external use, also not included in kit). If using the rechargeable battery pack follow the instructions provided with the battery pack.
If using the power supply, connect the supply directly to the socket on the stand or, if wall-mounting,connect it to the fly-lead. Make sure the camera is positioned no more than 4 metres from the mains socket. If this is not possible then CPE240 extension cables that are 5 metres long can be used.
4. To get the best performance from the camera, please follow these guidelines.
For the best performance, mount the camera between 2 and 3 metres above the detection area.
Please note that the PIR movement sensor will NOT detect through glass
To avoid problems with false detection ensure no plants or obstructions which could trigger the PIR are within the detection range.
The Camera has a 78º viewing angle, ensure the camera is set at the optimum angle to cover the desired area.
For best transmission range try to ensure that there are no thick walls or major obstructions.
If night time operation is required a good light source is required to illuminate the area.
5. Select the transmission channel on the DIP switch in the battery compartment by switching any one of the three switches. The camera is preset to Channel 1, with the switch in the down position.

Monitor Scan Mode
The “Scan” mode button will turn the monitor to standby with the screen blanked.
The monitor will now scan each camera checking to see if the camera is detecting any motion. If a camera detects motion, the monitor displays the camera picture and the monitor beeper will sound. 2minutes after the last detection, the monitor will return to standby with the screen blanked, until a camera detects another motion. whuile in scan mode a yellow light flashes on the front of the monitor, and the screen is blank. Pressing the manual or auto button will cancel this mode.
Adding Additional Cameras
You can have up to 3 cameras on your system. To add an additional camera you will need to order a CA500- Wireless Camera Accessory (Includes Wireless Camera, Power Adapter and Fixing Kit). The BAT500 Rechargeable Battery Pack is available for use with the CA500 Wireless Camera. The BAT500 is NOT weatherproof and can only be used indoors.

USING THE CMS500 VIDEO SYSTEM
The 2.4GHz video signals pass easily through your homes interior walls, but the signal maybe reflected by power wires or plumbing inside the wall. Usually a slight adjustment of the Monitor/ Receiver antenna will improve reception. Take care not to force the antenna past their lock positions.
Sound level can be adjusted using the volume control knob on the side of the
Monitor/ Receiver. Adjust the Brightness/Contrast as required using controls on the rear of the Monitor/Receiver. If needed the vertical hold can also be adjusted at the rear.
The most common source of interference are microwave ovens. Try to avoid mounting the Monitor / Receiver near a microwave oven or other source of RF interference such as cordless phones.
SWITCHING THE CAMERA ON / OFF WHEN USING THE BATTERY PACK
To preserve battery power the camera can be switched off while not in use. Simply slide the switch at the rear of the rechargeable battery pack to the off position.
