CAMERA TV or MONITOR
STEP 1. Connect the camera to the cable and power supply as
described in Steps 1, 2 and 5 above before connecting it to
your video display.
STEP 2. Connect the camera to the “Video In” port on the
monitor or television.
CONTROLLING YOUR CAMERA
The camera’s on-screen menu is accessed by the multifunction button attached to the camera cable. On certain models of box
cameras, a group of five buttons makes up the multi-function controls. The operation of both types of control is similar.
To access the on screen display, press the control or menu button.
This will bring up the menu on your system’s monitor or other attached
display. This button also acts as the “Enter” button when setting your
parameters.
Navigate through the menu using the directional controls. The cable-
mounted multi-function button acts as a miniature joystick allowing you
to move up, down, left or right through the menu and submenus. On
the some box cameras, the individual directional buttons on the camera
itself will move you through the on screen display.
In addition to the on-screen settings, you can adjust the camera’s
zoom, focus, and in some cases the light level (iris). These adjustments
can generally be made externally with the exception of some dome
cameras which will require removal of the cover to adjust.

CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A TV OR MONITOR
A single camera can be connected directly to a monitor or TV with an RCA input using the included cable and a separately available
adapter if needed.
For Television: You may need to tune or select the correct INPUT (i.e.; A/V, L1, L2, Source) Consult your television’s manual for details.
Depending on your TV or monitor, you may need to use a BNC-to-
RCA adapter (not included) to connect the BNC connector on the
video/power cable to your screen.
