USING THE VIDEO POLE CAMERA
7 REI VPC/VPX
EXTENDING THE POLE
The VPC-64 can be extended up to 6.5 feet (200cm) and the VPX-64 can be
extended up to 12.5 feet (386cm). To extend the pole, release one or more locking
latches on the side of the pole. Extend the pole to the desired length. Close the
locking latches. When the Video Pole Camera is at or near its full extended length,
the pole may have to be held at the desired length while the locking latches are
closed.
To retract the pole, open the locking latches and slide the pole sections to the desired
length. Do not force the pole sections. The sections should retract with little force.
The Video Pole Camera contains an internal, high stretch ratio, retractable cord
eliminating any external wires or cables. The retractable cord will naturally pull the
pole sections toward the closed position.
NOTE: If the Video Pole Camera is used with the pole extended near its maximum
length for more than 30 minutes, the tractable cord inside the pole may develop a
memory and retract slower than usual causing part of the cord to be ejected from the
bottom of the pole. In extreme cases, the cord can bind inside the pole. To avoid
potential problems with the retractable cord when the pole has been extended for
long periods of time, collapse the pole slowly, giving the retractable cord time to
retract back to its original stretch ratio memory.
RECORDING VIDEO
The Video Pole Camera is supplied with one external video cable and a Y-adapter.
The cable is used to allow recording or viewing video. An external video recorder
(not supplied) is needed to record video. To record video, insert the 3.5mm stereo
plug in the Video I/O Jack. Then insert the Video Out RCA connector in the video in
of the external video recorder. Under this configuration the LCD monitor will not
display any video. The VPC does not support the recording of audio.
By using the supplied Y-adapter the LCD monitor can display the same video images
that are being recorded. To record video and view the video images on the LCD
Monitor, insert the 3.5mm stereo plug in the Video I/O Jack. Then insert the Video
Out RCA connector in the Y-adapter. Connect the Video In of the cable to the Y-
Adapter. Finally, connect the Y-adapter to the video in of the external video recorder.
