How to connect B&W Dome Cam to your TV or VCR

Step 1: At the end of your B&W Dome Cam cable you will find three B&Wed plugs: Yellow (Video RCA) ~ Black (DC Power)

Step 2: Plug the yellow RCA plug into the "Video In" input (2) (usually located at the back of your TV or VCR).

Step 4: Connect the black plug (3) at the end of your B&W Dome Cam into the black plug at the end of the power adaptor (4).

Step 5: Plug the power adaptor (5) into the mains power point in your wall.

Step 6: If you have an A/V TV with RCA sockets you will need to switch the TV to the AV channel to view the camera. To connect the camera to your VCR, you will need to turn the VCR to the A/V Input selection and turn your TV onto the channel you would normally use to view a tape or movie on your VCR. This

channel may be activated by a button on your remote that is marked with this symbol , or L1 or L2 or possibly AV, AV1 or AV2 .Please read the instructions for your VCR or TV for more information on using their A/V inputs.

Step 7: If the picture is not clear, you will need to focus the camera by loosening the small locking screw below the lens, and turning the lens in a clockwise or anti-clockwisedirection until the image is clear. Once the lens is focussed correctly, tighten the locking screw to hold it in place.

How to connect B&W Dome Cam to your TV or VCR

Your B&W Dome Cam is designed to transmit quality Black&White images to your television and is operated by mains power.

To power the camera you will need a 9-12V DC 100 - 300mA power adaptor that has centre pin as positive. To help guide you through the process of setting up the B&W Dome Cam, we have outlined

the steps and numbered each of the components required in the diagram below.

6. Run the camera cable back to the TV/VCR noting that any holes that you drill need to be at least /16” (14mm) in diameter to allow the connectors to pass through. Reconnect the power lead to the camera and switch the camera power back on.

Please Note: The camera must not be placed where it looks directly into the sun or any other bright light source, as this will not only result in a poor image, but will eventually damage the electronics of the camera. Areas with a high degree of contrast in the light levels may require re-positioning of the camera in order to obtain the best image.

For night-time use or when situated in a dimly-lit environment the camera requires the aid of suitable exterior lighting to ensure a good picture is achieved.
