Wireless Receiver Installation

Installing the wireless receiver (for LW1001, LW1002, LW1010, LW1012, LW1020, and LW1022)

For connecting to a TV/monitor <OR> recording on a VCR/DVD recorder.

1. Connect the AV Cable to the back of the receiver. Connect the other end of the Cable to the

Video IN (Yellow) and Audio IN (White) ports on the TV, VCR or other viewing/recording devices

with RCA inputs.

2. Plug the Receiver power cable into the 9V POWER input (5V for LW1020/LW1022). Plug the

power cable into a wall outlet.

3. Place the receiver in a place that will have clear reception to your camera(s). Try to avoid placing

the receiver near other 900MHz devices (such as older cordless phones, wireless headphones,

etc.).

NOTE: Do not force the antennas past their locked positions, or damage may occur to the

Receiver or Camera.

Installing the wireless receiver (for LW1020 and LW1022 ONLY)

For viewing on your PC <OR> remotely through a web browser.

4. Connect one end of the USB Cable into the Receiver and the other end into a computer. Please

refer to the Quick Start Guide to install the driver and Yoics. For additional Yoics information or

Camera Installation

Before you install the camera(s), carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will

route the cable that connects the camera to the power adaptor or battery adaptor.

Installation Warnings:

•

Aim the Cameras to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for the camera that provides

a clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to

a strong light source or direct sunlight.

•

Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick walls, obstructions, or interference (i.e.

cement, concrete, metal, transformers, or other electrical equipment) between the Cameras and

the Receiver. This will reduce the transmission range.

•

Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature between 14°F~113°F

(-10°C~45°C)

Before starting permanent installation, have another person hold the camera for you while you

verify its performance by observing the image on a monitor.

Audio feedback may occur when the receiver and camera(s) are too close (under 10 feet /3

meters.

Night Vision

This camera includes IR LEDs, which provide the camera with the ability to view images in low light

conditions. It is important to use the provided power adaptor (not the 9V DC Battery Adaptor) when using

the camera for prolonged periods in low light conditions, as the LEDs will drain the battery more quickly

than regular daytime use.

Multi CAMERA OPERATION

This 900MHz Wireless Color Camera System can support a total of 2 cameras (additional camera is sold

separately). When using multiple cameras, set each camera to different channels. The Receiver needs to

be set to have 2 cameras switched to ON, to have all attached cameras functioning simultaneously.

NOTE: The LW1001, LW1010, and LW1020 are expandable.

Camera Installation

Installing the Camera:

1. Carefully unpack the Camera.

2. Decide whether the camera will be permanently wall mounted or sit on a

tabletop:

•

If you decide to place the camera on a tabletop or other flat surface,

the camera can easily be moved to different locations as desired. It is

strongly recommended that the camera be affixed to the table top

surface to prevent damage to the camera in case of tabletop surface

movement or improper handling.

•

If you decide to permanently mount the camera to a wall, make sure to

select a location close to a power outlet.

NOTE: Wireless cameras require a power source (either an electrical

outlet or battery power) to operate. If you plan to permanently mount the

camera in a location, it is recommended to use the included Camera

Power adaptor to prevent interruptions in the image, as the battery adaptor

is intended as a temporary power solution.

Table Top Mount:

The Camera can be

placed on any flat

surface.

Wall Mounting Instructions (for the LW1001 and LW1002 ONLY)

To mount the camera to a wall:

1. Measure and mark the positions for the 2 screw holes on

the wall with a 0.90” space in between the 2 marks.

2. For Drywall:

0.90”

•

Drill the 2 holes (1/4” drill bit) and insert the

drywall plugs as needed.

3. Screw in both screws until the base of both screw heads

are roughly 3mm from the wall.

4. Slide the base of the camera onto the screw heads.

NOTE: If the base is not flush with the wall: Remove the base from the screw heads,

and adjust the depth of the screws until the camera base is flush with the wall.

5. Adjust Camera to the desired angle. If desired gently

tighten the screw on the neck of the camera until

snug.

Wall Mounting Instructions (for the LW1010, LW1012, LW1020, LW1022 ONLY)

To mount the camera to a wall:

1. Loosen the screw located on the side of

the camera base using a slot head

screwdriver.

2. Pull the camera free from the Stand.

Mount the stand to the wall:

•

Mark the position of the two

screw holes on the wall.

Drill holes and insert the drywall plugs as

needed.

Position the power cable through either slot

on the top or bottom of the stand as desired.

Firmly attach the stand to the wall using the

provided screws.

NOTE: Do not allow the camera to come in contact

with other objects while it is detached from the stand,

as this may cause damage to the camera.

4. Insert the Camera into the top slot of the stand.

5. Point the camera in the desired position. Tighten the side screw to

secure the camera to the Stand.

6. Adjust the angle of the camera for a desired view.

Connecting Camera Power

The Camera can be powered either by using the provided Power Adaptor, or using a 9v battery (not

included) and the Battery Adaptor Cable:

•

POWER ADAPTOR: Connect the Power Adaptor to the Camera.

BATTERY: Connect the battery adaptor cable to the camera. Connect a 9 Volt Battery to the

adaptor cable (NOTE: A new 9V Battery should last for approximately 4 hours without the IR

LEDs in use).
