Introduction

Thank you for purchasing SecurityMan DigiminiAir . The DigiminiAir is a “Do-It-Yourself” Digital Wireless Security camera kit designed for easy installation and operation. With surveillance made easy, this DIY kit will allow you to monitor your home, business, front or back doors, garage, backyard, or any location that you would like to keep an eye on.

In comparison to the traditional wireless technology (analog), digital wireless provides three key features which include: increased range of transmission, secure signal (neighbors cannot pick up the signal) and unlike analog, the digital signals are virtually interference-free from crowded wireless analog devices such as: Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, microwaves, and cell phones.

2. Connect the power adapter plug into the power socket attached to

the camera and then connect the power adapter (5VDC, 1.5A) into an

electrical power outlet as shown below.

12

3. Plug the receiver power supply (5VDC, 1.5A) to the receiver’s DC IN

port and the other end to an electrical power outlet. Next, connect

the AV cable out from the receiver to your TV/monitor or recording

devices (VCR or DVR) AV input.

The TV/monitor must be on the A/V Input that you connected the

receiver to. For Example; A/V 1, Input 1, Video 1, Line 1, or Game 1.

Once the TV/monitor is on the proper input channel, you should

receive your picture and be able to hear audio from the camera’s

microphone.

Note: To tune your TV/monitor to the proper input channel, you must

do it directly on the TV/monitor itself or with the original TV remote.

5. By default, the camera is paired to Channel 1. If there is no picture

displayed on your TV/monitor, simply switch the receiver to Channel

1, and press the code-matching buttons on camera and receiver

simultaneously. The camera image will immediately be displayed on the

screen after successfully being matched to the receiver.

Channel

No Signal

Signal Strength

The signal bars on the on-screen display indicates the signal strength between the camera and the receiver. [0~1 bars = weak/no reception;

4 bars = strong reception]

Channel

The channel number corresponds to the camera that is being monitored

14

or recorded. You can toggle between channels by simply pressing the

“CH” button located on the receiver.

No Signal

A “NO SIGNAL” notification will be displayed (followed by a melody) whenever the user toggles to a channel with no camera matched to it or if the camera and receiver are not successfully matched.

NOTE: The “Channel” and “Signal Strength” icons will turn orange during the no signal warning.

Operation

Adding and Pairing camera to the receiver

To match multiple cameras to your receiver (4 max), simply switch the receiver to a channel not being used (no signal), and press both code-matching buttons on the camera and the receiver simultaneously

(within 20ft recommended). The camera image will immediately be displayed on the screen after successfully being matched to the receiver. A “NO SIGNAL” notification will be displayed, followed by a melody if you switch the receiver to a channel that does not have a camera matched to it.

NOTE: A “NO SIGNAL” notification will be displayed, followed by a melodyBe sure to pair the add-on cameras with 20 feet of the receiver.

A simple transmission test to ensure both cameras and receiver are functioning before applications.

Switching between channels/cameras

You can switch between cameras by manually pressing on the “CH” button located on the receiver. A “NO SIGNAL” notification will be displayed, followed by a melody if you switch the receiver to a channel that does not have a camera matched to it.

NOTE: Channel can be changed by manually pressing on the “CH” button; auto channel switching is not supported.

Troubleshooting

Q: There is no picture from a camera?

Check all connections to the camera and the receiver. Make sure that the camera and receiver are both ON and that the camera(s) is in range of the

Receiver.

Q: The image from the camera(s) is choppy and/or keeps cutting out?

The wireless receiver may be out of range of the camera(s). Use the signal bars on the on-screen display to observe signal strength. 0~1 bars = no/ weak reception; 4 bars = strong reception.

Q: I can’t hear any sound on my TV?

Check the connections between the receiver and the TV, specifically the red and/or white connector(s) are plugged in correctly. Check the volume settings on the TV. Also, remember that the range of the microphone is not the same as the range of the camera – the camera will detect anything in front of it that it sufficiently lit, however a microphone will only pick-up sound within a few feet (unless the sound is very loud).
