Camera security systems have become relatively inexpensive over the past few years, certainly contributing to their steady rise in popularity within homes across America. Not only do these systems give your home an added level of security, also giving you peace of mind, they're also quite easy to install with the right materials and a little ingenuity.
Instructions
Setting up your System
1. Select the location you wish to monitor and mount your camera within the general area. High vantage points with the camera pointed downward are typically considered the best angles for capturing large areas.
2. Connect the video output jack of the wireless receiver with the video input jack of the monitor using the yellow-headed composite video cable. Both jacks will be painted yellow, indicating video.
3. Turn on all the devices, setting the monitor to the proper video channel. Generally this is the channel below "001" (or channel "000") and is typically labeled "AUX" or "VIDEO."
4. Synch the wireless receiver to the wireless camera's frequency by scanning through the receiver's frequencies until the image from the camera appears on the monitor. This is similar to scanning through radio stations.
5. Place the monitor and receiver in the room you wish to serve as your monitoring center.
