First, download and install MultiView using the link you received by e-mail.(If you didn't get an e-mail with the link in it, fill out our Secure Download Link Form.) Once this is done you are ready to install the USB Video Adapter (model VA11A). Do not connect the USB Video Adapter before installing MultiView.

Set the House Code on the wireless transceiver module (model TM751), plug it into an AC outlet and extend the antenna.

Set the House Code on the ScanCam remote control (model CR12A) and insert 4 AAA batteries. If the cameras are going to be units other than 1-4, follow the instructions that came in the remote’s box to change the scan controls.

Connect the video receiver (model VR31A) to the USB Video Adapter. Adjust the antenna so that it it faces in the general direction of all the cameras -- sometimes it may be best to point the antenna towards the ceiling.

Adjust cameras. Now that you can see the video from each camera, you can adjust the antenna position on each camera for better reception. Experiment to see what works best. You can also improve the picture by focusing the camera on the area you want to see best. Turn the black piece of the lens mounting to adjust the focus.

Set up a motion sensor for each camera. Find a place for the Eagle Eye motion sensor (model MS14A) in the area where the ScanCam is installed. Follow the instructions in the box to set the House and Unit code to the same address as the camera in this location. Repeat these steps for each Eagle Eye.

These options are:

1. The name of the camera as you want it to appear in its MultiView window. The location of the camera or a description of what it is looking at will be helpful when using the program.
2. The X10 address assigned to that camera. You made this setting in Setting Up Cameras previously. Enter the letter and number code as you set them with the dials on each camera's power supply
3. This is the folder on your computer where MultiView snapshots will be saved. Unless you change it, all of your picture will be saved in the Images folder in the MultiView directory. If you want to change this location, click on "Pick Directory" to browse folders on your computer.
4. This setting determines how many images from each camera you want to save before recycling the older images. If you want to retain a history of pictures, choose a higher number. In most cases, the default of 25 will be fine.
5. This entry chooses whether or not you want the date and time saved onto the picture when it is captured
6. Change this option only if you have an X10 RF Receiver (model MR26A, also called the Boom 2000 Receiver or Firecracker Receiver) and one or more X10 motion sensors that you will use with your cameras. If you have these items, choose the "Only save images when motion is detected option" to let MultiView watch for motion signals from the X10 motion sensor and only save images when something has changed. This setting is used with the option settings below. See Controlling MultiView with a Motion Sensor for more information.
7. If you don't want this camera to be switched on and off as part of the MultiView rotation, select "Remove from snapshot cycle." Otherwise, leave this setting at its default to let MultiView use this camera in its image windows.

You should change these settings for each of the cameras you have installed and want to use with MultiView. The most important option to change is the House and Unit code setting. If you don't change this for each camera, MultiView will not be able to switch between cameras.

In addition to the above settings, you have two settings that relate to the motion sensor option (six, above):

1. Enter the House and Unit code setting for the motion sensor you wish to associate with this camera. This address does not have to be the same as the address of the camera from step one above. When the motion sensor sends the signal that motion is detected, MultiView will send a command to turn the appropriate camera on.
2. Use these boxes to enter how frequently and for how long you want MultiView to save pictures after motion is detected.

Selecting the Video Input tab from the Camera and Video Input Properties window will give you dialog in which you can select which video device you want to use with MultiView. Under option one there will be a list of video devices installed on your computer, if you have more than one video input device. Click the drop-down menu to select which one you want to use. If you change the device while MultiView is running, you will need to exit and restart MultiView.

When you are finished with the Camera and Video Input settings, click "OK" to save them and enter MultiView.
