Shadows cast by neighbouring walls, trees and roof 
overhangs should also be avoided. In practice, the Solar 
Panel should be positioned a minimum of twice the width 
of the eaves overhang, below the eaves where is 
reachable to sun exposure.    Remember that in winter the 
sun is lower in the sky and you should avoid winter 
shadows where possible. 

 
2.  Detecting sensitivity: A passive infrared sensor operates by   

detecting the objective movement and heat. When the   
temperature of the moving object and its surrounding area 
are close in value, it may reduce PIR’s sensitivity. The 
motion detector’s infrared beams radiate outward like the 
slat of a wooden fence. Prior to mounting, keep in mind 
that the motion sensor is more sensitive to the motion that 
crosses these “slats”, and less sensitive to the motion that 
moves directly towards the sensor.

 

 

3.  Mounting height: For best results, mount the camera 2m 

above the ground. Select an appropriate location where 
the camera can clearly be seen and detect for best viewing 
effect. 

 

4.  Rechargeable battery 

A high capacity 6V 1.2Ah sealed lead acid rechargeable 
battery ensures that the Solar Panel is self maintainable 
during darkness and long winter periods. 

 

5.  Initial power-up battery 

An Alkaline 9V PP3 battery is supplied in the PIR Camera 
to provide the initial power to the system. 

 

6.    Infrared LEDs for improved night vision 

When PIR Camera is activated during nighttime, 6 infrared 
LEDs adjacent to the lens is of great help to enhance 
nighttime visibility.   

 

7.  Reset button 

When PIR Camera is not working properly, press the reset 
button for recovery. 

   

Installation 

Step 1: Install the PIR camera 

1.  Use the fixing template provided to mark the position of the 

two fixing holes. Drill two holes with 25mm in depth and 
5mm in width by inserting the plastic wall plugs supplied. 

2.  Lead either the jack of solar connecting wire or the jack of 

DC power cord through the rubber gasket on the backplate, 
leaving 15cm length of wire inside the backplate. (FIGURE 
1)

Note:

 If only a PIR Camera (VC401) is used, adopt the DC 

power cord for connection.    If a whole system (VC401) is 
used, adopt the solar connecting wire for connection. 

3.  Screw the backplate to the wall using the fixing screws 

provided. 

4.  Adjust the channel switch, enabling its channel to be the 

same as that of the Receiver, such as Universal Receiver 
(VR111) or Wireless USB Receiver (VR131). 

5.  Connect the connector of rechargeable battery wire to the 

wire of battery jack. (FIGURE 2)

6.  Plug either the jack of solar connecting wire or the jack of 

DC power cord to the camera’s jack socket. 

7.  Refit the camera to the backplate using two fixing screws 

provided. (FIGURE 3)
