Adding Cameras

Adding Cameras

The System comes with a camera that has already been paired. The Pairing Function assigns each camera to a different channel on the Wireless Receiver (up to 4 Cameras), and is necessary for configuring additional cameras. By default, the camera included with the system appears on channels 1 on the wireless receiver.

Note: It is highly recommended to pair the cameras to the receiver before permanently mounting the cameras.

1.Connect the power cable from the camera to the cable from the Power Adapter; plug the Power Adapter into an outlet or surge protector.

2.Press the Pair button on the Wireless Receiver to select an empty channel.

3.Press and hold the Pair button for 5 seconds to activate pairing function. The on-screen displays informs you that you have 30 seconds to press the pair button on the camera (see Figure 5.1).

4.Press and hold the Yellow Pair button extending from the camera. You must press the Yellow Pair button from the camera within 30 seconds of pressing the Pair button on the Wireless Receiver. If pairing is successful, live video from the camera will immediately appear on the monitor.
