Radio Shack Home Security System and Surveillance Cameras Guide

•This system is designed for indoor use only.

•Do not install any camera or monitor where it will be exposed to high humidity or rain.

•Select a location for the monitor that will not be blocked by objects or traffic. Make sure the selected location is not in direct sunlight or in line-of-sight with a direct light source that might make observing the monitor difficult.

•Do not route any of the connecting cables close to power or telephone lines, transformers, or other electrical equipment that could interfere with your security system or with any nearby sys- tems or devices.

•Select a location for the camera and monitor so the ambient temperature is between 14° — 113°F (–10° — 45°C).

CONNECTING A CAMERA

The monitor comes with two cables that let you connect one or two cameras to the mon- itor. Additional cables for more cameras are available at your local RadioShack store. Follow these steps to connect either the Ra- dioShack Cat. No. 49-2512 or 49-2513 mod- el cameras.

Camera

Cat. No. 49-2512

1.Connect the mini-DIN plug at one end of the supplied 2-foot cable to one of the four mini-DIN jacks (CA1 to CA4) on the rear of the monitor.

2.The other end of the cable has three jacks and one barrel plug: a white

AUDIO (IN), a yellow VIDEO (IN), a black AUDIO (OUT) and a DC 12V (OUT) barrel plug. Connect the yellow jack, the white jack, and the barrel plug to the long cable that comes with your camera as follows:

•Connect the yellow AUDIO (IN) jack to the yellow AUDIO plug.

•Connect the white VIDEO (IN) jack to the white VIDEO plug.

•For the Cat. No. 49-2512 camera only, connect the DC 12V (OUT) bar- rel plug to the DC12V 200mA barrel receptacle on the long cable. The CA jacks on the monitor, rather than the external adapter supplied with the camera, provide the operating power to the camera.

•For the Cat. No. 49-2513 camera only, connect the black AUDIO (OUT) jack to the the camera’s red audio input plug.

Warnings:

•Do not connect the Cat. No. 49-2513 camera to the DC 12V (OUT) plug. Doing so can damage the monitor or camera. Use only the AC adapter supplied with the camera.

•To use this monitor to power cameras other than Cat. No. 49-2512, be sure the selected camera requires 12V DC at no more than 200mA and has a matching connector that fits the barrel plug of the monitor’s provided cable with the TIP +. If you are not sure, do not attempt to connect that camera. Instead, use the power supply pro- vided with the camera.

3.Connect the mini-DIN plug on the end of the 791/2-foot cable (supplied with Cat. No. 49-2512) into the mini-DIN jack on the back of the Cat. No. 49-2512 cam- era, or the distribution box of Cat. No. 49-2513.

4.Plug the monitor’s AC power cord into a standard AC outlet.
