RF Switch Code: 

The AlertCam has a built in RF transmitter

(approx 60m open field range) that can send wireless trigger
signals to the optional AlertCam RA (remote alarm unit) or
AlertCam RS (remote switching unit). The AlertCam will only
activate remote units with matching RF codes. All AlertCams and
remote units are factory set with the same RF code however
codes can be easily changed to avoid false triggering of adjacent
units. Remove
the white plastic
cover of the RF
switch and set
the switches to
either on or off.
To sync a
receiver set it's
four dip switches
to match that of
the AlertCam.
