combined wireless camera and video monitor/ receiver, an ideal combination for monitoring the porch, 
watching the yard, pool, pets or the baby. It is also suited to many small business applications.

FEATURES

•  2.4GHz wireless technology
•  Plug ‘n’ play installation
•  High resolution black and white video camera with motion detection
•  Built-in microphone transmits sound from camera to monitor
•  High quality audio and video components for long life
•  Supports up to 3 cameras
•  Durable weather resistant camera construction
•  Manual or auto switching between cameras
•  AC or battery operation (batteries not included)

    vision when needed

The wireless camera can also be operated with the GE Rechargeable Battery Pack GESECWBAT2 
(sold separately) for complete portability and extended battery life. 

SYSTEM CONTENTS

Identify all parts before proceeding with installation.

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INSTALLATION

For best performance, follow these simple guidelines:
•  Camera(s) should be installed between 8 and 13 feet above the area to be monitored
•  The Camera should be aimed accordingly to optimize viewing area
•  For best transmission, avoid installations where there are thick walls or major obstructions 

   between the Camera and Monitor

INSTALLING THE CAMERA (TRANSMITTER)

1. Unpack the Camera.
2. Decide whether the Camera will be wall-mounted or sit on a desk/table top. If wall mounting, use drilling 

template on the back cover of these instructions. The Camera can be adjusted for either mounting 
scenario by rotating the Camera head to the required position.

3. Decide whether to connect using AC power or batteries (not included). If using batteries remove battery 

compartment lid on rear of Camera and install 5 x AA batteries. If using the 12V camera power adapter, 
remove lid and connect power jack. Snap lid closed trapping
the cable in the slot behind the tab. Make sure the Camera is
positioned no more than 5 1/2  feet from an AC power outlet. 

4. Select the Camera operating channel on the DIP switch in the battery compartment by moving switches 

1,2, or 3 to the down position. Switch is present to channel 1. 

The Camera (Transmitter) installation is now complete. 

INSTALLING THE MONITOR (RECEIVER)

Mains Operation

1. Plug the monitor adapter into the power socket on the rear of the monitor. 
2. Plug the power adapter in to a mains socket. Turn on the monitor by pressing the front push button. 

Battery Operation 

1. Find the pre-wired cable located in the base. Push

down the release tab under the rear of the unit,
remove the base from the unit. 

2. Unwrap the cable and feed it through the slot next

to the release tab.

3. Remove the battery compartment lid on  the underside

of the unit and install 10 X C type batteries (not included).
Replace lid cover. 

4. Plug battery power lead into the socket on the rear of the Monitor/Receiver

OPTIMIZING THE WIRELESS CAMERA SYSTEM

The 2.4GHz video signals pass easily through your home’s interior walls, but the signal may  be reflected 
by power wires or plumbing inside the wall. Usually a slight adjustment of the Monitor and/or Camera 
antenna will improve reception. Take care not to force the antennas past their lock positions. 

Sound level

 

can be adjusted using the volume control knob on the side of the Monitor. Adjust 

brightness/contrast 

as 

required using controls on the rear of the Monitor. If needed  the 

vertical hold 

can also be adjusted at the 

rear. The most common source of interference are microwave ovens. Try to avoid mounting the Monitor 
near a microwave oven or other source of RF interference such as cordless phones.

SWITCHING THE CAMERA ON/OFF

To preserve battery power, the camera can be switched
off while not in use. Simply turn the antenna position to
the 

OFF

 position as shown to the right. When the camera 

is turned on, allow 60 seconds for the motion sensor and 
night vision to warm up. During this period, the motion sensor 
will be illuminated red. 

MULTI-CAMERA OPERATION

The GE SmartHome™ 

Wireless Camera System

is designed to work with up to (3) Cameras

. Additional Cameras

are sold separately (GESECWBWIN-

2

). 

IMPORTANT: 

When using more than one Camera, make sure each 

Camera is assigned to a specific channel by adjusting the corresponding DIP switch down. 

Accordingly the DIP switch located on the back of the Monitor should be  adjusted to reflect the channel in use. 

MOTION-SENSING CAMERAS

GE SmartHome™ Cameras are equipped with a motion sensor or PIR. When a Camera detects motion, a 
red light flashes on the Camera and an audio alert sounds on the Monitor. The volume control for the alert 
is on the rear of the Monitor.

OPERATING MODES

The system can be set to operate in one of three modes: 

SCAN, AUTO

or 

MANUAL.

 The desired operating mode can be selected using the

buttons on the front panel of the Monitor. 

SCAN

Pressing the 

SCAN

 button places the system in Scan mode. The Monitor screen blanks into a standby 

mode while the system continuously scans active cameras. If a camera detects motion, the monitor 
displays the camera picture and the beeper will sound. Four minutes after the last detection, the screen 
returns to standby mode and the Monitor resumes scanning. While in 

SCAN

 mode, the LED light on the 

monitor is yellow. Pressing the 

MANUAL

 or 

AUTO 

button will cancel this mode.

AUTO

Pressing the 

AUTO 

button places the system in Auto mode. In this mode, the system automatically 

rotates through all active cameras. When a camera detects motion, the monitor will display the picture 
from the camera for a few seconds, and the beeper will sound. To avoid searching channels that do 
not have cameras/transmitters assigned to them, set the dip switches (located on the back panel of 
the monitor) for those corresponding channels to the OFF position. When in the 

AUTO

 Mode, the LED 

light on the Monitor is solid green. 
The dwell time (time taken to switch between cameras) is preset to 4 seconds and can be adjusted 
between 2-30 seconds. To adjust the dwell time , press both the 

AUTO

 and 

MANUAL

 buttons simultaneously. 

Each flash of the LED increases the dwell time by one second. 

MANUAL

To select a specific Camera to monitor, press the 

MANUAL

 button. The monitor will switch to a different 

camera each time the 

MANUAL 

button is pressed. To avoid searching channels that do not have cameras 

assigned to them, set the dip switches (located on the back panel of the monitor) for those corresponding 
channels to the 

OFF

 position. When in 

MANUAL

 mode, the LED light on the monitor is solid red. 

NIGHT VISION 

The camera includes IR LEDs, which allows viewing up to 5 feet in the dark when used with the adapter. 
The IR LEDs are controlled by a photocell and are automatically turned on at low light level and off at high 
light level. This helps to extend the battery life of the camera. 

NOTE:

 The range of the IR LEDs work best 

with the AC adapter. The IR LED range is limited when used with alkaline batteries or the battery pack. 

USING THE VIDEO MONITORING SYSTEM WITH A VCR

You can connect a VCR to the Video Monitoring System. This allows you to record the picture from your 
Monitor. Connect the VCR’s Audio/Video input jacks (cable not supplied) to the Monitor’s Audio/Video 
output jacks.
