Tips for locating your camera  
Connect the camera to your monitoring device  
These step by step instructions are provided for you to enable a quick and simple  
installation of your camera. Please refer to the diagram over the page for component  
identification details.  
You should position your cameras to cover the areas most exposed to risk.  
See our suggestions below for some ideas:  
Step 1: At the end of your Maxi-Brite Camera cable you will find two plugs:  
•Video BNC Female Connector (1a)  
•DC Power Socket (1b)  
Step 2: Plug the BNC Female (1a) into the BNC Male Connector (3a) on the  
extension cable and turn the outer ring to lock the connectors. Plug the BNC  
to RCA Adaptor (4) into the other BNC Male Connector (3b) at the other end  
of the extension cable and then into the RCA Video In socket on your TV or  
VCR (usually located at the back). This is the best method of connecting the  
camera initially to test it for correct operation.  
1. Doorways  
2. Windows  
3. Car Parks  
4. Verandahs  
Step 3: Connect the DC Power Plug (2a) at the end of the power adaptor (2) into the  
DC Power Jack (3c) on the extension cable, and plug DC power plug (3d)  
into your Maxi-Brite Camera’s DC Socket (1b).  
Step 4: Plug the power adaptor (2) into the mains power point on your wall and  
switch on.  
Step 5: If you have an A/V TV with RCA sockets you will need to switch the TV to the  
AV channel to view the camera.  
To view the camera connected to your VCR, you will need to select the AV  
input you have connected the camera to on the VCR, turn your TV onto the  
channel you would normally use to view a tape or movie on your VCR. This  
channel may be activated by a button on your remote that is marked with this

2. On side windows  
NOTE:

All jurisdictions have specific laws and regulations relating to the use of cameras.  
Before using any camera for any purpose, it is the buyer’s responsibility to be  
aware of all applicable laws and regulations that prohibit or limit the use of  
cameras and to comply with the applicable laws and regulations.  
The legality of watching people other than yourself changes from country to  
country and even state to state. Contact your local government's privacy  
information body or your local Police for more information on what if any  
restrictions you may face.
