If you do not see a picture on your TV:
There is a power light on the front of the Receiver. Check that the power
switch on the side of the Receiver is ON.
Check that the Camera is turned on. For single camera systems the power
supply for the Camera will normally be on (it powers up on). For Multi-
Camera systems you need to purchase a TM751 Transceiver for the remote
control to be able to turn Cameras on. When you turn any one on, in a group
of 4 on, the others in the group turn off. Groups must be 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, or
13-16. Check that all camera power supplies are set to the same Housecode
as the Transceiver and remote control.
Verify that your connections to the TV are correct. Make sure you are using
the appropriate input mode for your TV, try pressing the A-B button or Video
button on your TV's remote control to change the input mode (consult your
TV's owner's manual, if necessary).
If you connected the Receiver to a VCR and then connected the VCR to your
TV, you might need to turn the VCR OFF to see the Camera's picture on your
TV. Or you might need to turn the VCR on, AND set it to record the picture
from the Camera, in order to see the picture on your TV. Or you might need
to press the A-B button on your VCR's remote control. Consult your VCR's
owner's manual from more information.
If you get a picture but the quality is poor:
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.
If the camera is out of focus:
The camera is shipped preset to be in focus for normal use, but if you want to
change the focus you can remove the clear plastic cover and rotate the inner
portion of the lens. It might be a bit tight. Try turning it counterclockwise
fi rst. If you turn it clockwise do not force or over tighten it. For outdoor use,
replace the clear plastic cover to keep the rain out.
If you are having diffi culty turning the Camera on/off remotely:
Plug the Transceiver (the white module with an antenna) into a different outlet.
Note a Transceiver (sold separately) is REQUIRED for Multi-Camera systems.
It is not required if you only have one camera as the camera's power supply
powers up on when you plug it in.
If the Remote Control (sold separately) doesn't do anything.
Check that the red light on the remote comes on when you press any button.
Check that you have the batteries installed correctly, replace if necessary with
4 AAA alkaline batteries. Try the Transceiver in different outlets (see above).
