4-channel surveillance controller

Thank you for purchasing your 4-Channel Surveillance Controller from RadioShack. Your controller lets you use as many as four indoor/ourdoor security cameras, a TV or monitor, and your VCR (none supplied) as a fully functional surveillance system. It is designed to provide black and white or color camera observation systems at your home or workplace. And, you can even set up the controller so the VCR records only when the cameras detect motion using the PIR (passive infrared) feature.

Its features include:

4-Channel Input of Camera – lets you connect up to 4 cameras to the controller.

On-Screen Setup – lets you set the PIR, alarm, scan time, alarm time, dwell time, remote learn, and clock’s date and time on the menu using the TV/ monitor’s display.

Automatic VCR Record – automatically actives when PIR has been triggered.

Intercom Function – enables 2-way communication between cameras and your controller (through TV/ monitor speaker).

Auto and Manual Scan Function – automatically scans and displays each channel after you power the controller each time, and you also can scan the channels manually.

Inline Audio Buzzer Warning – activates the buzzer when the unit is triggered if you set the alarm on.

Connect the yellow stereo phono plug at one end of the supplied 6-foot connector cable to the video input jack of your VCR, and connect the white stereo phono plug of the cable to the audio input jack of your VCR.

Connect the yellow stereo phono plug at the other end of the connector cable to VIDEO on the back of the controller, and connect the white stereo phono plug to AUDIO on the back of the controller.

Plug the supplied IR cable to IR REM jack on the back of the controller and lead the IR cable to the front of the VCR at a distance of 5 to 30 cm. Make sure the IR transmitter is directly pointing to the VCR’s sensor.

Connect the supplied 15V AC adapter into the DC 15V jack on the back of the controller.

Then, connect it to a standard AC outlet.

You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies regulated 15V DC and delivers at least 850 mA. Its center

tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the controller’s DC15V jack. The supplied adapter meets these

Caution specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the controller or the adapter.
