INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the VPC-64 Video Pole Camera, or VPX-64 Extended
Video Pole Camera. Both models of the Video Pole Camera allow you to extend your
view of your surroundings that might otherwise be difficult or dangerous. With REI’s
Video Pole Camera, you can look up into drop ceilings or down underneath desk
and chairs, or other higher to reach areas. In this way you can visually verify
problems without the need to climb ladders or crawl on the floor.
The Video Pole Camera comes standard with a color camera with white LED lights.
This would be suitable for most situations. However, an IR camera with IR lights is
available for times when the white light might be a distraction.
This instruction manual covers the operation and specifications of the VPC-64 Video
Pole Camera and the VPX-64 Extended Video Pole Camera. Operation and
specifications may vary slightly depending the model.

lens is off. The camera should have a lens installed at all times, including during
non-use periods.
