- Secure the Bracket: Use appropriate screws and anchors (not included) to securely attach the mounting bracket to a wall or ceiling.
- Attach the Camera: Fasten the camera to the mounting bracket. Adjust the camera's angle to achieve the desired field of view.
5.2 Power Connection
- Connect Antenna: Screw the provided antenna onto the antenna port at the back of the camera.
- Connect Power: Plug the small end of the AC/DC power adapter into the camera's power input port.
- Plug into Outlet: Plug the other end of the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The camera should power on.
5.3 Pairing with Your System
This camera is an expansion unit. It must be paired with a compatible Nedis digital wireless camera system (monitor/receiver) to function. Refer to your main system's manual for specific pairing instructions. Generally, the process involves:
- Ensure both the camera and your main receiver are powered on.
- Access the pairing function on your main receiver (e.g., via a menu option or a dedicated 'Pair' button).
- Press the 'Pair' button on the back of the CSWL1C20CBK camera (refer to Figure 3).
- The camera and receiver should establish a connection, indicated by a status light or on-screen message on your receiver.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Live View and Monitoring
Once paired, the camera's video feed will be accessible through your main digital wireless camera system's monitor or recording device. Consult your main system's manual for details on viewing multiple cameras, switching channels, and recording options.
6.2 Night Vision
The camera automatically activates its night vision feature when ambient light levels are low. The infrared LEDs will illuminate, providing a clear black-and-white image up to 5 meters away. Ensure there are no obstructions directly in front of the camera that could block the infrared light.
6.3 Wireless Range
The camera maintains a wireless connection up to 150 meters in open areas. Walls, ceilings, and other obstructions can significantly reduce this range. Position the camera and receiver to minimize interference and maximize signal strength.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the camera's finish or lens.
- Environmental Protection: Although IP54 rated, periodically check the camera's housing and cable connections for any signs of wear or damage, especially if installed outdoors. Ensure seals remain intact to maintain water and dust resistance.
- Firmware Updates: Check the Nedis website periodically for any available firmware updates for your camera system. Follow the instructions provided with the update carefully.
