INTRODUCTION
Your First Alert 2.4GHz MOTION ACTIVATED
LIGHTING CAMERA SYSTEM is a unique surveillance
system for your home or business. The system includes
a PIR LIGHTING CAMERA and a Wireless Receiver.
Using the Wireless Receiver as a bridge to connect to
your TV, you will see and hear real-time video images at
all times. At night, the built-in passive infrared (PIR)
motion sensor turns on the floodlight when it detects
motion in its coverage area so the camera images can
be seen on the TV for improved night time vision.
During the day, the built-in photocell sensor saves
electricity by deactivating the floodlight. A 4-position
time adjustment switch lets you select how long the
floodlight will stay on after activation. Adjustable
4-channel wireless system avoids interference. Two
operation options let you choose: Automatic Operation
or Manual Override.
Note: Read this entire manual before
you start to install the system.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
z Do not install the PIR LIGHTING CAMERA when it
is raining.
z Be sure to switch off the power at the power source
before installing.
z Make sure that the power wiring comes from a
circuit with an external 16A miniature circuit breaker
for the short circuit protection or a suitable fuse.
z Do not remove the adjusting screw. Tighten the
connection of the floodlight head assembly and
motion sensor to the base to avoid any rotation.
The unit is wall and ceiling mountable. (FIGURE 1)

      Kristen JonesAug 9, 2025
      If your First Alert Security System light remains on, ensure the wiring connection is correct. If you've used Manual Override, turn the wall switch off for at least 10 seconds before switching back to Automatic Operation. Verify the TIME setting. Reposition the lamp if it's too close to the sensor or reflecting heat. Also, reposition the sensor if it points toward a heat source. Finally, ensure the Light Control is not on Manual Mode; switch to Auto.
