Overview

Congratulations on your purchase of the ADW-400! You’ve chosen a reliable and exceptionally convenient monitoring solution for your home or business. Here’s a quick rundown on some of the great features the ADW-400 has to offer:

Digital Wireless Technology

No more interference! Unlike older analog wireless technologies which suffer greatly from signal distortion and interference, digital wireless technology provides clean, crisp images, even in environments with other wireless devices active.

This is in addition to all the other conveniences of wireless systems, such as not having to install cables, and offers increased flexibility for modifications to your camera placement at a later date!

Up to four channels (Quad View)

Unlike older wireless systems which require a separate wireless receiver for each camera, the ADW-400 receiver is capable of receiving and displaying up to four cameras at once!

Night Vision

With twenty-four infrared LEDs built into the camera, the ADW-400 can see up to 8m/26ft even in complete darkness, providing you with a 24 hour security solution.

SD Card Recording

Thanks to the built in SD card recording capabilities, it can be used as a convenient stand-alone monitoring and recording device. It features support for SD cards up to 32GB in capacity which, when combined with it’s motion recording abilities, allow the ADW-400 to work for months at a time.

Note: for the best results, always use high-speed, high-quality SD cards which conform to either the SD or SDHC standards. Many lower quality SD cards with slower read/write speeds will not produce desirable results, as they cannot ‘keep up’ with the video being captured by the ADW-400.

Recording Time:

If you were to manually set the ADW-400 to record constantly, how long will it record for? Under ideal conditions, the ADW-400 uses a minimum of 8MB of space per minute of recording.

Accordingly, we suggest that a 2GB SD card should only be relied on to record approximately 3 hours (even then, there is a chance that the video might be too large).

To avoid filling your SD card unnecessarily, we strongly suggest using the Motion Detection recording mode. This way, the cameras will only record when there’s something to see, and you can ensure that the space on your SD card is being used optimally.

Remember that if you have the Auto Delete function active, the unit will automatically record over the oldest files when it runs out of space. This is important if there is a particular incident that you want to backup - you’ll need to copy it off the SD card before it is over-written!

Manual Channel Changing and Auto-Switching

The default channel mode for the ADW-400 is Manual Channel Switching. When channel switching is set to manual, simply press the Auto/Manual button to cycle through available channels. The Manual icon will be displayed on the screen to let you know that the ADW-400 is in this mode.

The Manual Switching Icon

You can set the ADW-400 receiver to automatically switch between all available channels. To change the mode, simply press and hold the Auto/Manual button for five seconds. The M icon will change to an “S” to let you know that the ADW-400 is in Auto-Switching mode.
