Overview Congratulations on your purchase of this additional camera for the ADW-400 system! Adding more cameras to your ADW-400 system is a great way to achieve additional functionality and value from the ADW-400 receiver. If you don’t already have an ADW-400 Receiver, then you won’t be able to use this camera.
Layout of Camera Lens Antenna Infrared LEDs Stand Lens: The business end of the camera. For a reliable and clear image, ensure that the lens stays clean and unobstructed. To clean, use a dedicated lens cleaning solution and cloth, available from all good photography stores. Infrared LEDs: These give the camera its limited night vision capabilities.
Layout of Receiver Play / Enter Arrows / Playback Controls POWER MENU MUTE QUAD Auto/Manual Power: Activates and deactivates the receiver. MENU: Opens the main menu, or goes back one step in a submenu. MUTE: Turns the audio output on or off. Will not affect recording, only live monitoring and playback.
Pairing Pairing Instructions You might have already noticed that there is no channel switch on the camera – so, how do you assign the cameras to the channel you want? The answer is “pairing”. Pairing, in a nutshell, is a process which associates one camera with one channel, hence “pairing”...
Using the Menus When you open the Main Menu, you will see the following four categories, each containing several options. Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll see. Pairing This is where you pair cameras with channels in the receiver. See page 7 for more details.
Recording Modes The ADW-400 Receiver offers two recording modes, Motion Recording and Schedule Recording. Both of these can be used together - that is, the receiver can always be ready to record on motion, and also record constantly for a certain period each day.

Resolution Resolution refers to how many pixels (individual dots which together make up an image) the receiver will record. There are two settings: low and high. High resolution records at VGA quality (640 x 480 pixels) and is the suggested setting. Alarm The receiver can emit a high pitched alarm tone when it detects movement.
Using the Software Playback & Backup There are two ways of playing back footage from the ADW-400 receiver. The first is through the receiver itself, and the second (possibly more useful option) is to remove the SD card and insert it into a card reader attached to a computer. To back up footage, reading the SD card via a computer is the best option.
Playback & Backup on a Computer: Playback on a PC has some significant advantages over playing back footage on the receiver itself. Generally, computer playback offers a higher resolution monitor than most TVs, and the video quality does not suffer from being transmitted via a composite video signal.
Additional Features Quad View: In Quad View mode, you’ll be able to see images from up to four cameras on screen at once. For this to function optimally, you’ll need: • Four ADW-400 cameras, • connected to power, • and each correctly paired to each of the four channels. To enable quad viewing mode, simply press the QUAD button on the top of the receiver.

Recording Time: If you were to manually set the ADW-400 to record constantly, how long will it record for? Under ideal conditions, the ADW-400 uses a minimum of 8MB of space per minute of recording. Accordingly, we suggest that a 2GB SD card should only be relied on to record approximately 3 hours (even then, there is a chance that the video might be too large).
Troubleshooting Guide Problem: I’m getting a “NO SIGNAL” message on my screen where I want to see my images. Solutions: Make sure the camera is getting power from the supplied 5V power adaptor. Ensure that the camera is properly paired with the receiver by following the instructions on page 7.
