Wired Camera

Quick Start Guide

Page 1

Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola Wired Camera. Your camera includes a high-resolu-
tion color video camera, a built-in heat-activated motion detector, and an audio microphone. These 
features enable you to secure an area, regardless of day or night, rain or shine. This Quick Start Guide 
describes how to set up and troubleshoot your Wired Camera.

Controlling Your Camera

Using your computer and the Gateway, you locally manage your home environment with the Motorola 
Home Monitoring & Control System. When configured, the system can notify you of any new events by 
sending an e-mail when your Wired Camera detects an event. An event is defined as movement in the 
field of view of the camera heat sensor.

How It Works

The Wired Camera surveys an area up to 20 ft. (6 m)  
at a viewing angle of 80 degrees. If armed, heat-motion 
triggers the camera and it turns on automatically and 
begins transmitting the image. The camera then com-
municates the audio and video through cabling back to 
the Gateway, which in turn feeds your computer. This enables you to visually and audibly determine 
the event that triggered it.
