If there’s no camera picture on your TV (secure connection):
1. Select the appropriate video input on your TV. Usually you can select
the input mode by pressing the VIDEO or INPUT button on the remote
control. Or you might have to change the TV to Channel 0 or 2, and
then use Channel Down to change video inputs. See your TV’s owner’s
manual if you still aren’t sure how to change the video source.
2. Make sure your camera is connected to power and turned on. Press C1
on the remote to turn it on.
3. Follow the setup instructions again (page 13 and 14), and check all of
the connections you make.
If the picture on your TV isn’t clear (wireless connection):
Try different positions for the antennas on the Camera and Receiver. Normally
they should point at each other. Sometimes, due to refl ections, you might get
a better picture with the Receiver’s antenna pointing to the ceiling.
Take a look at what the video signal is passing through or near to get to the
Receiver. Metal objects and electromagnetic fi elds can distort the signal. Try
to keep the Receiver as far away from other devices as the cables allow. In
most cases, relocating the Camera or Receiver a few feet is enough to avoid
the source of interference.
Try unplugging/turning off any electromagnetic interference producing
devices, such as a baby monitor, computer, wireless speakers, cordless phone,
etc. Other 900 MHz devices can distort the Camera’s picture. If you are
experiencing interference between X10 Cameras and some other equipment
that uses 900 MHz, check the other device’s owner’s manual for the frequencies
of each channel that it uses. X10 cameras use 921MHz. We recommend using
a frequency on the other device that is farthest from 921MHz. Otherwise you
will need to discontinue use of the device while using the Cameras.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If the SentinelPro Remote isn’t working:
1. Press the C1 button. This makes sure that your camera is selected for
control. Try moving the camera or zooming to see if the problem is
fi xed.
2. Check the batteries. If the C1 button doesn’t light up when you press
it, you may have put the batteries in incorrectly, or the batteries you
used may be dead. Take the batteries out and make sure you put them in
according to the diagram inside the remote. If it still doesn’t work, try
new batteries.
If Autofocus doesn’t work correctly:
The SentinelPro Camera’s auto focus can’t work correctly if the protective
lens cap is on. Remove the protective lens cap and make sure the lens
is clean. Try zooming out all the way. The camera should automatically
refocus correctly.
If the camera label (like “Camera A1”) is displayed on your TV:
You can turn off the onscreen label easily. Press and hold Setup on the
SentinelPro remote control until the green light stays on. Then, press Sweep
(0), and Setup again. This will turn off the label. Repeat these same steps to
turn the label on again.
