Recommended Wireless Barn Camera Installation Procedures for Metal Barn. (Some adaptation may be required.)

(Read all instructions thoroughly prior to installation)

Survey barn for most practical location/placement of exterior antenna/transmitter box. Location is important. (For best results, choose line of sight placement of antenna.) Note: If no line of sight placement exists, a more powerful transmitter and/or antenna may be required depending on distance and obstructions between antenna and receiver in your home. Proximity to AC power should also be considered.
Check interior surface of barn for location and placement of transmitter. Ensure no obstructions (electrical conduit/wires, ridges, or metal reinforcement) exist prior to drilling holes.

Kit comes with AC adapter/12V transformer and 4’ of cord. If power source is not located within 4 feet; 2 options are available: 1) Run suitable extension cord to transformer plug or 2) Purchase compatible 12V transformer with longer cord. Either method is acceptable.

A. Use with Pole antenna Attach antenna extender to transmitter. Mount transmitter box on inside of barn wall using screws or supplied Velcro. Drill small hole, just large enough for antenna extender to fit through. Thread antenna extender through hole. On outside of barn, connect pole antenna to extender. Push most of extender back into barn so that only antenna and connector are located on outside. Use silicone or weather proof adhesive to ensure tight seal around antenna inside and outside of barn. Note: the seal should be water-tight.


B. Use with Flat panel antenna Mount transmitter box on inside of barn wall using screws or supplied Velcro. Drill small hole, just large enough for small end of antenna extender to fit through. From outside of barn, thread in small end of extender, with flat panel antenna remaining on the outside of barn. Push most of extender to the inside of the barn. Mount flat panel on side of barn, by pealing off back and sticking to barn, or use supplied Velcro if additional securing is necessary. Once antenna is mounted, use silicone or weather proof adhesive to ensure tight seal around antenna inside and outside of barn. Note: the seal should be water-tight.

Install camera in desired location and run cable to transmitter and connect to Audio/Video jacks. Connect power supply to camera. Once AV cables are attached and power supplied, the camera is ready for transmission.

Place receiver in home with antenna pointing toward barn antenna. Try to minimize obstructions if at all possible. Attach audio/video cables from receiver to TV. Attach power supply for receiver and Set TV on correct video receiving channel.

If recording on VCR is desired then connect receiver to VCR’s Audio/Video Input and connect VCR to TV using coaxil cable (or audio/video cables from VCR out to TV In).
