Introduction: It is now possible to monitor what is happening at night as well as during the daylight hours with the Interface board kit and a camera. By virtue of infrared LEDs for night vision and a microphone attached to an amplifier circuit, you can use it to spy on someone or as a means of added security. The Interface board connects directly to your choice of small video cameras and has a video and an audio output which can be plugged into a VCR or a TV (if your TV has audio and video jacks on it ).

CONSTRUCTION OF THE IB1 INTERFACE BOARD KIT ❒ 1. Install J2 and J3, the RCA style audio and video jacks, on the PC board. These require some heat for the solder to flow so take your time. ❒ 2. Install J1, the power jack. ❒ 3. Install MK1, the microphone. If you are looking at the bottom of the microphone the two pins should be on the top and side by side. The pin on the left is positive and goes to the inside of the board.The pin on the right is negative and goes to the outside of the board. ❒ 4.

❒ 13. Connect your camera. Follow the wiring diagram on the paperwork enclosed with your camera. OPTIONAL If you are planning on using the Interface board at night or in dark areas you will want to install R10 and R11 along with infrared LEDs. The brightness desired can be changed by using more or less IR LEDs. The circuit is capable of supporting up to 6 LEDs. With each LED change, R10 and R11 will also change.

SET-UP: The IB1 is designed to be powered by an external power supply using jack J1. A 12 to 15 volt regulated DC supply is recommended, with the “center” pin of the connector being the positive or the (+) connection. 1. Connect a suitable power supply to the IB1 board. 2. Connect the video output of the IB1 to the video input of your TV or VCR. 3. Connect the audio output of the IB1 to the audio input of your TV or VCR. 4.

CONCEALMENT IDEAS: There are many places that the Interface board and a small CCD camera (check the Ramsey catalog or website at www.ramseykits.com) can be hidden because of their size and maneuverability. The best place for you depends on your application and what type of setting it is to be used in. The Interface board and a camera could be used to watch the children, for security outside as well as inside, or to capture the 10 thousand dollar home video. Here are a few ideas that we came up with: 1. 2.
