Menu: Camera Setup

Pair a Camera:

 Pairing a camera to a channel will associate that camera’s image to 

that channel until another camera is paired. If the camera is switched off and then 

powered back on, it’s image will automatically return to that channel (unless a full 

factory default has been applied, in which case pairing information will be lost). 
• 

Use the right arrow to highlight the “Pair a New Device” option

• 

Press the Menu button to initiate the pairing mode for the selected channel.

• 

While the channel is in Pairing Mode, and within 30 seconds press the Pairing 

button on the DC input cable of the camera you’d like paired to that channel.

• 

To exit Pairing Mode without pairing a camera, press ESC.

• 

Repeat as necessary for other camera(s) you want to pair.

Image Brightness: 

The Image Brightness setting controls how light/dark the image 

on the screen will be shown. Increasing the brightness will not help the camera see 

more detail in dark areas, it will just make the dark shadows less dark: however, they 

won’t contain any new information. 
• 

Select the Image Brightness option with the left/right arrows.

• 

While highlighted, press up/down to adjust the brightness.

Activate / Deactivate:

 The receiver can support up to four cameras, but you don’t 

need to have four cameras connected to use the receiver. 
• 

A deactivated channel will not appear during the auto-sequential view - it will 

simply be skipped over.

• 

A deactivated channel appears blank in quad-view.

• 

Any channel which doesn’t have a camera paired to it cannot be activated.

• 

To activate or deactivate a channel, select it using the channel list on the left 

hand side of the screen, and press the 

Menu

 button to toggle. 

The cameras which come with the receiver are pre-paired. You’ll only need to 

manually pair cameras if you’re adding cameras or troubleshooting problems.
