Image: Installation instructions for the outdoor unit, illustrating the recommended height (1.4m-1.7m) and the necessity of the rain cover.
- Drill the appropriate holes in the wall according to the dimension drawing provided in the manual. The hole diameter for wiring should be between 16 mm and 30 mm.
- Insert the plastic wall anchors into the drilled holes.
- Attach the rain cover to the wall using the supplied screws.
- If connecting to a power outlet, route the power cable from the bottom of the rain cover.
- Insert a rechargeable lithium battery (EB-1G6LLU) into the outdoor unit. The device will automatically turn on.
- Slide the outdoor unit into the rain cover from the top, pushing it down until it clicks into place. Ensure the top is securely clamped.

4.3. Wireless Signal Considerations
The system operates on a 2.4 GHz signal. The effective range can be up to 500 meters in open conditions without obstacles. However, walls, especially metal objects like iron gates, can significantly reduce the signal strength.
Image: A diagram illustrating the 2.4 GHz signal transmission from the outdoor unit through an inner and outer wall to the indoor monitor, indicating a range of up to 500m in open conditions.
Image: This diagram provides guidance on optimal placement for the wireless video intercom system, showing how to avoid signal interference from metal objects and walls, and suggesting testing signal strength before final installation.
Installation Tips:
- Test Signal Strength: Before final installation, test the optimal signal position for both the outdoor and indoor units. Adjust the indoor unit's position if the signal is weak.
- Avoid Metal Objects: Do not install the outdoor unit directly on metal objects (e.g., iron gates), as this can reduce the signal by approximately 80%.
- Minimize Obstacles: Avoid placing large objects between the indoor and outdoor units that could obstruct the wireless signal. Adjust the indoor unit's position to minimize such obstructions.
- Villa with Boundary Wall: For villas with boundary walls, it is recommended to install the outdoor unit on the left side of the right fence. The fewer walls the signal passes through, the larger the covered area. Do not install on support structures. It is recommended to install the indoor unit near a window on the second floor for better signal reception.

Image: This diagram illustrates the automatic motion detection feature, showing how the system activates the monitor and captures images when movement is detected in front of the outdoor camera.
You can also manually trigger a snapshot at any time. All captured images are stored with date and time stamps and can be reviewed on the indoor monitor. The system can store up to 100 photos.
5.3. Night Vision
The outdoor unit features infrared night vision LEDs that automatically activate in low-light conditions. This ensures clear visibility of visitors even in complete darkness, enhancing security.
