A-520 Camera SAFETY AND INSTALLATION TIPS  Do not attempt to open the camera. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.  When installing the camera, follow manufacturer’s advice when using power tools, steps, ladders, etc. and wear suitable protective equipment (e.g., safety goggles) when drilling holes. Before drilling holes through a ceiling, check for hidden electricity cables and water pipes. The use of a cable/pipe detector is advisable.  When installing the camera on an external wall, pass the power cable through the wall as close as possible to the camera to reduce the chance of tampering with the cables. After drilling any hole though an external wall for cable, make sure the hole is sealed up around the cable using a sealant. DEVICE OPERATING RANGE The wireless camera is capable of transmitting up to 330 ft in open field conditions. However, when installed around your property, any solid objects (e.g., walls, ceiling, reinforced PVC doors, etc.) placed between the camera and receiver will reduce the range. For best transmission, avoid installations where there are very thick walls or major obstructions between the wireless camera and receiver. Avoid installing the camera or receiver next to a metal radiator, wireless router, or microwave oven. If the camera is used with a digital video recorder (DVR) to record or view video on a TV, ensure the signal reception is the best possible reception (i.e., no interference lines on the TV). If necessary, reduce the distance between the camera and receiver. You may find that if the wireless camera is installed outside, the maximum operating range without interference may be less than 50 ft.

Model A-520 User's Manual 5 SETTING THE CAMERA'S CHANNEL The A-520 wireless camera has four selectable channels to avoid any interference from any other wireless devices. Follow the steps below to set or change the frequency channel of the camera. If you are adding another camera to an existing system, make sure its channel is different from the channel of the existing camera. 1 Pull open the rubber flap on the camera's power cable. 2 Locate the two dip switches under the rubber flap. 3 Use the dip switch tool to flip the switches to change the camera's transmitting channel. 4 Set the camera channel using the switch configuration below. Do not set more than one camera on the same channel or interference will appear on the screen. Note: It is possible to link four wireless cameras to a receiver. However, you may need to adjust the orientation of the antenna on the receiver for the channel being viewed.

Model A-520 User's Manual 6 NIGHT VISION The camera has built-in infrared LEDs to allow you to view up to a distance of 16 ft at night for 24-hour surveillance. The LEDs automatically activate at night and the picture viewed turns from color to a black and white image. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Solution No picture. Make sure the camera and receiver are plugged in. Make sure the TV/ VCR/ DVR is tuned to the correct input channel. A white image appears at night. The camera's infrared LEDs shine invisible light that reflects off surfaces such as glass causing white light. Place the camera on the other side of windows or place the lens flush against the surface to improve night vision. Relocate the camera to a well-lit area. I keep getting interference. Wireless cameras operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency like many devices such as wireless routers, cordless phones, and microwaves. If possible, keep the cameras away from these devices.
