1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the AR-STV Wireless Camera Detector. The AR-STV is a wireless camera receiver with a 2.5 inch color LCD display, still picture recorder and sensor that captures analog video signals in real-time. It is mainly designed for use in surveillance applications. Its built-in clock allows images to be time-stamped and a (non-supplied) SD memory card can be used to store images. © This manual is protected by copyright AOR, LTD. 2013.
1-3 Supplied accessories The following accessories are provided in the shipping box. Instruction manual (this booklet) Flexible rubber antenna Belt clip Soft case Four AA size Ni-MH battery cells DC power supply / battery charger 1-4 Features Built-in 2.

3 Connections Connect the supplied flexible rubber antenna to the SMA antenna connector on the top of the ARSTV. If required, an external antenna may be connected with a SMA connector for the coaxial cable. Insert the supplied 4 AA size Ni-MH cells into the battery compartment in the AR-STV. If the batteries are not yet charged, connect the DC power supply into the power input connector on the right side. 4 Power switch To switch on the AR-STV, slide the power switch on the right side of the AR-STV upward.
(1) 1G 2G 3G (Hz) The horizontal axis displays the receive frequency. The AR-STV can receive between 900 MHz and 2800 MHz. (1G indicates 1 GHz in frequency, 2 G for 2 GHz, and 3 G for 3 GHz accordingly.) (2) V (Video level) N (Noise level) Video Level The V (Video) line on the vertical axis displays the video quality threshold level. Note that video level is NOT related to the signal strength. Setting the video threshold level higher will display the video signal only with the better quality.
