[. . . ] CAUTION: To prevent severe damage to the unit, do not connect it to a wall box that is controlled by any kind of dimmer or remote controlled switch. WARNING: Before making the following connections, be sure the power to the junction box you are installing the motion activated camera into is turned off. Install the gasket (supplied) onto the junction box, and route the house wiring through the gasket. Connect the GREEN wire from the mounting plate to the bare ground wire in the junction box, or ground screw if there is one. [. . . ] Also, when the camera turns on with motion it transmits wireless Radio Frequency (RF) commands to turn off other cameras in its group of 4 (requires a Transceiver, sold separately). 1. Connect a video cable to the VIDEO OUT jack on the VR36A Video Receiver. If your TV does not have a Video IN jack, you will need to purchase an RF modulator, or connect as shown in the diagram below. Plug the Video Receiver's power supply jack into the Video Receiver and plug the power supply into a 120 volt wall outlet. Set the channel switch to the same letter as you set on the camera, i. e. , A, B, C, or D. Position the Video Receiver in a convenient location such as on top of the TV and orient the antenna so that the flat side points in the direction where you installed the Camera.

When you first power up, the camera should be on and you will see a picture on your TV. The camera turns on if it wasn't on already, or stays on if it was already on. After the camera turns off, it won't respond to motion again for about 30 seconds. You set how dark it needs to be for the floodlights to respond to motion by the setting on the FLOODLIGHT control. Set the dial all the way towards DARK if you only want the floodlights to come on when you walk past the unit when it's really dark outside. Side the dial more towards LIGHT if you want the floodlights to turn on when you walk past the unit at dusk. The camera always turns on with motion regardless of the FLOODLIGHT control setting. If you own any X10 remote controls, set the House Code and Unit Code dials to the codes you want the unit to respond to. For example, if you set the dials to A1, pressing A1-ON and OFF on any X10 remote control turns the camera on and off. If it's dark outside, the floodlights also turn on and off when the correct X10 command is received. If you turn the camera and floodlights on using an X10 remote control, they both stay on until you turn them off from an X10 remote control. If you own more than one Motion Activated Camera (or other X10 cameras) set each one to a Unit Code within the group 1-4 or 5-8 or 9-12 or 13-16. Then when the Motion Activated Camera sees motion and turns on, it sends a command to turn off the other cameras in its group of 4. (You must not have more than one camera on at the same time or the picture on your TV will be scrambled). [. . . ] In most cases, relocating the receiver a few feet is enough to avoid the source of interference. Try unplugging/turning off any electromagnetic interference producing devices, such as a microwave oven, baby monitor, computer, wireless LAN, wireless speakers, cordless phone, cell phone, etc. If you are experiencing interference between X10 cameras and some other equipment that uses 2. 4 GHz, you might want to check the other device's owner's manual for the frequencies of each channel that it uses. X10 cameras use the following frequencies: Channel A: 2. 411 GHz, Channel B: 2. 434 GHz, Channel C: 2. 453 GHz, Channel D: 2. 473 GHz. [. . . ]
