How to connect TV Camera Observation System to your TV or VCR

Step 1: At the end of your TV Camera Observation System cable you will find three colored plugs: •Yellow (Video RCA)

•Red (Audio RCA) •Black

Step 2: Plug the yellow RCA plug (1) into the "Video In" input (3) (usually located at the back of your TV or VCR).

Step 3: Plug the Red RCA plug (2) into the "Audio In" input (4) (usually located at the back of your TV or VCR).

Step 4: Connect the black plug (5) at the end of your TV Camera Observation System into the black plug at the end of the power adaptor (6).

Step 5: Plug the power adaptor (6) 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 on your TV 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 AV1 or AV2.

Note: 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 undo the small grub screw that locks the lens in place, which is located underneath the barrel that the lens screws in to. Focus the camera by turning the lens in a clockwise or anti-clockwisedirection until the image is clear, then re- tighten the small grub screw.

Mounting the camera on your wall or ceiling

1.Once you have chosen the best position for the camera, switch the power to the camera off, and unplug the power lead from the camera.

2.When mounting the TV Camera Observation System to your ceiling or wall, please ensure that you rotate the camera so that the small hole (microphone) at the top of the camera lens is ‘up’, otherwise

you will find that your pictures are displayed upside down. (see diagram)
