• Plug in the camera cables. Locate the camera's power cable. Plug the power adapter into the rear of the camera and plug the cord into a main power outlet. Set the antenna upright on the side of the camera.
• Plug in the receiver cables. Plug the receiver’s power adapter into the DC power input located at the back of the receiver. Afterward, plug the unit into a working AC power outlet. Set the antenna upright on the side of the receiver.
• Plug in the audio/video cables. An audio/video cable is included in your Night Hawk wireless outdoor camera kit. Run this cable from the receiver to your monitor, ensuring you match the cable ends by color. Plug the red end into the red audio port and the yellow end into the yellow video port on the back of the video receiver. Plug the other ends into the “Audio In” and “Video In” ports on the back of the monitor.
• Use the SEL button. On the front of the receiver, you will find a button labeled “SEL.” Press this button to change the reception channel of the receiver until it matches the broadcast channel of the camera. By default, the camera is set to channel 1. As you press the SEL button, you will notice an LED light indicating the receiver's current channel.

To ensure you are receiving the correct audio and video input, set your monitor to the appropriate input channel. Achieve the best reception by establishing a clear line of sight between the receiver and the camera. Adjust the settings as necessary to obtain a clear view of the surrounding area on your monitor.

Adding a video camera to your home or business helps deter theft, fraud, and other security problems. For best results, you can connect your video receiver to a recorder to keep a record of everything that occurs throughout the day, eliminating the need to constantly monitor the live feed.
