Layout of the RedAlert
Channel 1, 2, 3, 4 LEDs: Displays which wireless channel the RedAlert is configured to receive. This is in no way automated, and the RedAlert will only receive images from one wireless camera at a time. To change the channel that the RedAlert is monitoring, press the SET button.
SET: Changes the wireless channel that the RedAlert will monitor. This is the only way to change the wireless channel – there is no function to cycle automatically, as the RedAlert was, simply, not designed for use with multiple wireless cameras.
MODE: Switches between RECORDING MODE and PLAYBACK MODE.
SNAP: Commands the RedAlert to capture a still image or video immediately, using the current recording mode and quality settings.
DISP (Display): Changes the viewing mode from wired to wireless camera, or vice versa.
MENU: Opens the MAIN MENU. The functions of the MAIN MENU are covered in much more detail later in this manual (the whole second half, actually!).
ARROWS: Used to navigate when in the MENU, and as SHORTCUT buttons at other times.
OK: Used to select items whilst in the MENU.
SD CARD SLOT: Where you put the SD cards you want to record to. The RedAlert can record to SD cards up to 2GB in capacity. Be sure that the write protection tab on the SD card is set to off.
