Thank you for purchasing your DIY Color Camera with Mic 
from RadioShack. Designed for use with the RadioShack 
Video Surveillance Switchbox (49-2517), it integrates 
seamlessly with color camera observation systems at your 
home or workplace. Small and compact, your DIY Color 
Camera with Mic enables 1-way communication and for 
best resolution, automatically switches to black and white 
when light is low. 
•  Carefully plan the camera position and cable route.
•  Select a dust-free location providing a clear view 
of the area you want to monitor, and that is not in a 
strong light source such as direct sunlight.
•  Do not install the camera in a location exposed to 
high humidity or rain.
•  Select a location for the camera that has an ambient 
temperature between -4°F (-20°C) and 122°F (50°C).
•  Plan the cable’s route so it is not close to power or 
telephone lines, transformers, microwave ovens, or 
other electrical equipment that could interfere with 
the system.
•  If you plan to install the camera in a location with 
harsh conditions, consult with a professional installer 
and consider using a camera cover or housing (not 
included).
•  Before permanently mounting the camera, fi rst setup 
and hold the camera in the desired location and 
check its performance on the monitor.
•  To illuminate the camera’s viewing area, we 
recommend installing a 100-watt incandescent lamp 
or a small incandescent fl ood lamp.

behind the mounting surface, drill a third 
hole at least 14 mm in diameter.

To mount the camera, loosen the 
screw from the base of the camera’s neck, 
and insert camera onto the arm of the 
wall mount bracket. Secure the camera by 
tightening the screw.
NOTE: 
 
If mounting to drywall, drill the drywall anchor 
holes just large enough to insert the anchors 
fi rmly, then follow the steps above.
