Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola homesightTM Wireless Day/Night Camera. A highresolution color video camera, it includes a built-in motion detector and an audio microphone. These features enable you to monitor an area day or night. This Quick Start Guide describes how to set up and troubleshoot your Wireless Motion Sensor Camera.
Controlling Your Camera
Using your computer and the Wireless System Controller, you locally manage your home environment with the Motorola homesightTM software. When configured, the system can notify you of any new events by sending an e-mail when your Wireless Camera detects an event. An event is defined as motion in the field of view of the camera's motion sensor.
How It Works
The Wireless Motion Sensor Camera surveys an area up to 12Â14 feet (3.5Â4 m) at a viewing angle of 80 degrees. If armed, motion triggers the camera to turn on automatically and begin capturing a still image, or a video clip of a prescribed length. The camera transmits the video back to the Wireless System Controller and your computer. This enables you to view the image or watch the video to determine the cause of the triggered event.

Installation Overview
Installing your camera is a simple process.
1 2 3
Choose an appropriate location for the Wireless Motion Sensor Camera as described in the Installation Hints. Plug the AC adapter into the wall and the module. Register your camera with your Wireless System: a. b. c. d. e. In the homesight software, click System Settings. Select "Device Discovery" from the menu. Select "Start Discovery." Locate the Discovery hole on the device (indicated by "Discovery" and an arrow on the device) and use Discovery tool to depress the hidden button. After a few seconds, the System Controller will automatically find and register your camera and details of the device will appear on the screen.

Mount the module, using either the tabletop base or by following the instructions for wall mounting. If using the table mount, slide the power switch on the base to On.
Installation Hints
Please consider the following points when mounting the camera: · · · · The camera must be aimed so that it does not directly face the sun or any bright light; otherwise, this may cause damage to the camera. Avoid viewing areas where half of the area is in bright sunlight and the other half is dark. All types of cameras have difficulty seeing wide variations of light. The Motorola Wireless Motion Sensor Camera is constructed of UV-resistant ABS plastic. Do not install the camera where it is subjected directly to the elements. This device's communication range is up to 60 feet (18 m) from the Wireless System Controller in a typical home, depending on the number of obstacles. These can include metal framing, thick walls, and other wireless devices operating at 2.4 GHz. It is recommended that different positions be tried.
Installing Your Camera
Your camera can either be mounted on a wall or just sit on a level surface.
Wall Mount Your Wireless Camera
Make sure the power adapter cord is long enough to reach your mounting location. Also, be sure the AC outlet cannot be switched on and off with a wall switch. Warning: When mounting near a window, drilling too close to the glass could break the glass, possibly cause it to shatter, and cause injury. The window extends deeper into the frame than can be seen; therefore, ensure your screw is beyond the glass before drilling.

Using the holes on the drilling template found later in this guide, mark the position of the holes to be drilled. For drywall or other composite surfaces, use a 7/32" drill bit. Drill a hole for each of the mounting screws and insert a plastic wall anchor into each hole. For solid surfaces, use a 1/16" drill bit. Drill a pilot hole for each of the mounting screws. 3

Using the screws provided, secure the camera mounting bracket to the wall. Pull off the camera base by pulling straight down. The base detaches from the upper back side. Slide the camera down on to the bracket until it is firmly seated and you feel it click as the contacts engage.

Position the camera to view the desired area and plug in the power supply. Please keep in mind that the field of view is 80 degrees and motion sensor distance works up to 12Â14 feet (3.5Â4 m). Make adjustments to the camera viewing angle by tilting and panning the camera head with your hand.
Wall Mount Drilling Template
Mounting tools: Screwdriver, electric drill, or awl. On hard surfaces, Motorola recommends that you pre-drill ½-inch-deep pilot holes with a drill bit slightly smaller than the camera mounting screws before securing the camera to the surface. When mounting a camera on soft surfaces like sheetrock, use an awl to punch holes in the material slightly smaller than the plastic anchors included in the hardware mounting kit. The illustration is drawn to a one-to-one scale, which means that it provides the exact dimensions required to mount the unit.

Troubleshooting
Problem Camera will not register with the Wireless System Controller Solution · Ensure that the Wireless System Controller is powered and online. · Ensure that you are pressing the Discovery button. · Reposition the camera closer to the Wireless System Controller. · Try a hard reset by holding down the Discovery button while powering up the camera. · · · · · · · · · Motion events are not triggered · Ensure that the Wireless System Controller is powered and online. Ensure that you have the proper camera selected. Reposition the camera closer to the Wireless System Controller. Ensure that you are using the proper power supply. Make sure the proper camera quality settings are configured when viewing (Motorola homesightTM User Guide). Make sure your camera viewing area has proper lighting. Try another location. Select other operating channels on other 2.4 GHz devices. Be sure there is no conflict with your WiFi network. See the homesight User Guide for details Ensure that the camera is not positioned behind glass. The motion sensor is triggered by changes in heat. Any material such as glass that "insulates" keeps the camera from detecting heat changes (movement). Ensure that the camera head is positioned properly. Make sure the speaker volume is turned up when playing back the video clip. Make sure the sound is within the microphone range (6Â10 feet).
