PACKAGE CONTENTS
Please check and identify all the parts before
proceeding with the installation.
1. 45233 Wireless Color Camera
2. 45261 Portable 2.5” Color Monitor/Receiver
3. Charging cradle
4. Wall mounting hardware
5. 2 AC adapters
6. AV cable
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
When choosing the best location for the placement
of the camera and LCD monitor, it is best to avoid
any sources of possible RF interference such as
microwave ovens and cordless phones. Proximity
to these and other sources of RF interference can
inhibit the proper functioning of the receiver.
The 900MHz video signals pass easily through
your home’s interior walls, but the signal may be
reflected by power wires or plumbing inside those
walls. Usually a slight adjustment to the position
of the Monitor/Receiver and/or Camera antenna
will improve reception. Take care not to force the
antennas past their lock positions.

CHOOSING A CAMERA MOUNTING LOCATION
The 45233 Wireless Color Camera can be positioned
on a desktop, or mounted to a wall. It is suitable for
indoor or outdoor use. When choosing a mounting
location, please be advised:
• Do not use in wet locations. If using outside,
position camera in a sheltered location.
• Do not position the camera so that it points
directly into the sun or any bright light, as this
may cause damage to the camera.
• Avoid viewing areas where half the area is in
bright sunlight and the other half is dark, such as
in the shadow of a building. All types of cameras
have difficulty “seeing” into areas of such
divergent light levels.
• In low light conditions, the camera will
automatically activate the Infrared (IR) LED’s and
switch the camera to Night Vision mode. Night
Vision viewing distance is up to 10 feet.
• If using the included AC adapter to power the
camera, it must be positioned no farther than
8’ from an AC outlet. Do not use the supplied
adapter outside or run the cord through walls.
Note: If additional cord length is required, 15 ft.
extensions for the AC adapter are available by
contacting Customer Service at 800-654-8483.
5
If using the optional rechargeable NiMH battery
(sold separately), the operational time is up to 5
hours, depending on usage.
• The Camera has an unobstructed wireless
transmission range up to 200 ft. from the
receiver. Transmission distance indoors is
reduced due to interior walls, wiring, household
fixtures and metal plumbing.
CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO THE PORTABLE
LCD MONITOR
Before beginning installation, we recommend that
you temporarily “connect” the 45233 Color Wireless
Camera to the 2.5” LCD Color Monitor to help
familiarize yourself with the camera system and
select the best location for installing the camera.
The 45233 Camera and the 45236 Portable LCD
monitor will connect wirelessly and automatically
when both are powered on and within 200 ft. of
each other (unobstructed view).
1. Set the channel
selection switch
located on the
underside of the camera
housing. Select either
1 or 2 for the camera.

2. Similarly, set the slide switch located inside the
battery compartment area of the Portable LCD
monitor to match the channel used by the camera.
3. Plug AC power adapter of the LCD monitor into
the power jack at the rear of the charging base. This
provides power to the Portable LDC monitor and
also charges the LCD monitor’s battery.
4. Turn on the LCD monitor by pressing the POWER
button on the front of the monitor. Adjust the
volume to the midpoint position.
5. Be sure to charge the Portable LCD Monitor for
at least 3 hours before removing from the charging
cradle in order to sufficiently charge the battery.
Battery Standby time: up to 5hrs., continuous
operation up to 3 hrs.

camera, each camera must be assigned to a specific
channel using the channel selection switch located
on the underside of the camera housing.
Select either 1 or 2 for each camera. Each camera
must be assigned to a specific channel; both
cameras cannot be on the same channel or the
signals will cancel out. If using only one camera you
can select either Ch 1 or Ch 2; whichever provides the
best picture. The slide switch, located in the battery
compartment of the LCD monitor, must be set to
reflect the channels in use.
Auto Mode (2 Camera Operation)
To have the LCD Monitor automatically switch
between two active channels, first check the monitor
is set to 1 & 2 position. Next, press the ‘A’ (Auto)
button on the front panel of the Monitor. The green
LED will light and the Monitor will automatically
switch to a different channel (1 or 2). The monitor will
display images from both cameras alternately.

Note: two cameras must be available in order for Auto mode to
operate correctly. Both cameras cannot be on the same channel
or the signals will cancel out.
Stand-by Mode
Pressing the ‘S’ button places the system in Stand-
by mode and will utilize the Audio Notification/
Detection feature (see pg. 12). The LCD monitor
screen will turn off while in standby mode. In this
mode the system continuously scans the active
cameras. If a camera detects sound, the LCD
monitor will turn on, display the camera’s picture
and an alert (beeping) will sound. Several minutes
after the last detection, the screen returns to
standby mode while the LCD monitor resumes
scanning. Pressing the Manual or Auto button will
also wake up the LCD.
Cycle Time Setting
(Time interval between camera selections)
The default cycle time for the Portable LCD Monitor
is preset to 4 seconds. To change the cycle time,
press both of the buttons (Auto & Manual)
simultaneously. The LED will flash; each flash adds
one extra second of cycle time. The cycle time can
be verified by the number of flashes the LED makes
when you release the buttons—one flash equals
one second. Cycle time can be set between 2-30
seconds.

Night Vision
Infra-Red
(IR) LEDs
The 45233 Wireless Color
Camera features Night
Vision technology. Objects
and images can be seen in
little or no light up to 10 ft.
The camera uses a special
image sensor that
Sensor
automatically detects
available light levels. It turns
on/off the Infra-Red (IR) LEDs on
the front of the camera. These LEDs provide artificial
light that allows the camera to ‘see’ in the dark.
Night Vision will appear as a Black and White
image. When the image sensor detects enough
light, color will return to the images.
