5. Setup and Installation
Careful planning and execution are essential for optimal performance.
5.1 Wiring Requirements
- The system requires a four-wire connection between the outdoor unit and each indoor unit.
- For distances up to 20 meters, standard wiring may suffice. For longer distances, up to a theoretical maximum of 30 meters, it is recommended to use a multi-strand cable with a cross-section of at least 0.75mm² to maintain sound quality.
- Ensure proper polarity for all connections. Refer to the wiring diagram provided in the packaging for detailed connection points.
5.2 Mounting the Outdoor Unit
- Choose a suitable location for the outdoor unit, typically near the entrance, at a height that allows the camera to capture visitors' faces clearly.
- Mark the drilling points for mounting the outdoor unit. A drilling template is not included, so careful measurement is required.
- Drill holes, insert wall plugs, and secure the outdoor unit using the provided screws.
- Connect the wiring from the indoor units and the power supply to the outdoor unit.
5.3 Mounting the Indoor Units
- Select a convenient indoor location for each monitor, away from direct heat or moisture.
- Mark and drill mounting holes, then secure the indoor unit bracket to the wall.
- Connect the four-wire cable from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit.
- Attach the indoor unit to its bracket.
5.4 Power Supply
- The outdoor unit is powered by the included power adapter (typically 15V). Connect this adapter to a suitable power outlet.
- It is recommended to install the power adapter in a protected indoor location, as it is not designed for outdoor exposure.
5.5 Door Opener Connection
- The system supports connection to an electric door opener. The door opener connects directly to the outdoor unit.
- Note on Security: Connecting the door opener directly to the outdoor unit may present a security vulnerability if the outdoor unit is compromised. Consider additional security measures for your door.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Receiving a Call
- When a visitor presses a call button on the outdoor unit, the corresponding indoor unit will ring, and the monitor will automatically display the video feed from the outdoor camera.
- Lift the handset to begin two-way communication with the visitor.
- Press the "Talk" button on the indoor unit to speak. Release to listen.
6.2 Opening the Door
- During a call, press the "Door Release" button on the indoor unit to activate the electric door opener.
- The door will typically remain unlocked for approximately 7 seconds before automatically re-locking.
6.3 Monitoring Outside
- To view the outdoor camera feed without a visitor calling, press the "Monitor" button on the indoor unit.
- You can also initiate two-way communication by lifting the handset and pressing the "Talk" button while monitoring.
- Note: Only one indoor unit can actively monitor or communicate at a time. If one unit is in use, the other will be temporarily unavailable for monitoring.
6.4 Adjusting Settings
- Ringtone Repetition: On the back of the indoor unit, locate the DIP switch. This switch allows you to select between 2 or 6 ringtone repetitions when a call is received.
- Handset Volume: A small adjustable wheel on the indoor unit (often near the DIP switch) controls the volume of the handset audio.
- Ringtone Volume: The ringtone volume has three possible settings. Even at the lowest setting, the ringtone can be quite loud.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the outdoor and indoor units. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Outdoor Unit: Ensure the camera lens and microphone/speaker grilles are clear of dirt, dust, or spiderwebs for optimal performance.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No video or audio | Loose wiring connection, no power, faulty unit. | Check all 4-wire connections. Ensure the outdoor unit's power adapter is plugged in and receiving power. Contact support if issues persist. |
| Poor video quality | Dirty camera lens, insufficient lighting, long cable run with inadequate wire gauge. | Clean the camera lens. Ensure adequate lighting. Verify cable gauge for long runs (0.75mm² recommended for over 20m). |
| Poor audio quality (crackling, low volume) | Loose wiring, microphone/speaker obstruction, handset volume setting. | Check wiring. Ensure microphone and speaker grilles are clear. Adjust handset volume wheel. |
| Door opener not working | Incorrect wiring to door opener, faulty door opener, system malfunction. | Verify door opener wiring to the outdoor unit. Test the door opener independently if possible. |
| Night vision is ineffective | Insufficient ambient light for IR, camera obstruction. | While the system has night vision, it performs best with some ambient light. Ensure no obstructions block the camera. |
