1 Operating Elements and Connections
1 Infrared LEDs
2 Microphone
3 Noise detector, will activate the camera and the
transmitter upon detection of a noise
4 Antenna
5 PIR (passive infrared) motion detector, will acti-
vate the camera and the transmitter upon detec-
tion of a movement
6 Control for the sensitivity of the noise detector
left stop = high sensitivity
right stop = low sensitivity

detector activated (2 s to 5 min)
9 Low-voltage inline jack for the operating voltage
of 12 V
±0.5 V, current consumption 340 mA with
IR LEDs switched on;
a low-voltage plug 5.5/2.5 mm (outside/inside
diameter) is required;
inner contact = positive pole
2 Safety Notes
The camera corresponds to all required directives of
the EU and is therefore marked with
The unit is suitable for indoor use only. Protect it
against humidity and heat (admissible ambient
temperature range 0 – 40 °C).
Always protect the lens of the lens assembly from
dust and other impurities; never touch it with your
fingers. For cleaning the lens only use detergents
especially for optical lenses.
Do not cover the air vents of the camera housing
and do not insert any objects, otherwise the unit
may be damaged.
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never use
chemicals or water.
No guarantee claims for the camera and no liability
for any resulting personal damage or material
damage will be accepted if the camera is used for
other purposes than originally intended, if it is not
correctly connected, operated, or not repaired in an
expert way.
If the camera is to be put out of operation
definitively, take it to a local recycling plant
for a disposal which is not harmful to the
environment.

3 Applications
In combination with a 2.4 GHz receiver of the
MONACOR AV-... series and a monitor, the wireless
black-and white camera with integrated electret
microphone serves for wireless audio and video sur-
veillance. The camera is equipped with a motion
detector and a noise detector which will activate the
camera and the integrated transmitter for a certain
time upon detection of a movement or a noise.
The transmission range largely depends on the
local conditions and the receiver used. Without any
obstacles between the camera and the receiver, the
maximum range may be 500 m. In buildings, how-
ever, it is reduced to approx. 50 m by walls and ceil-
ings, depending on their condition. The range can be
increased several times over, however, by using an
antenna with gain at the receiver.
3.1 Conformity and Approval
Herewith, MONACOR INTERNATIONAL declare that
the wireless camera AV-3080PIR is in accordance
with the basic requirements and the other relevant
regulations of the directive 1995/5/EC. The declara-
tion of conformity can be found in the Internet
via the MONACOR INTERNATIONAL home page
(www.monacor.com).
The wireless camera is licence-free and generally
approved for operation in EU and EFTA countries.
4 Operation
.
4.1 Placing the camera and the receiver
Practical experience has shown that an optimum
reception is achieved when placing the units at a
height of minimum 1.5 m to 2 m above the ground.
Prior to final mounting, a trial run is recommended as
the transmission quality can be substantially changed
by displacing the units by a few centimetres only.
4.2 Mounting
A 6.3 mm (
mounting the camera on a support or a stand. This
thread jack can be attached to the camera housing by
means of a commercial plastic adhesive.
4.3 Channel selection
The wireless transmission is made in the 2.4 GHz
range which has been divided into five channels with
a distance of 14 MHz for the camera series AV-... from
MONACOR. As a maximum, three channels can be
used simultaneously (channels 1, 3, and 5) as two
