Appendix A: System Specifications 7. Appendix A: System Specifications 7.1 Receiver Specifications Receiving Frequency Range RX Sensitivity Demodulation Data Rate Supported Resolution Termination Power Requirement Power Consumption Operating Temperature Range 2.400GHz~2.480GHz -81dBm GFSK 160 Kb/s VGA (640 x 480) up to 25 Frames per Second RCA Video, RCA Audio 12V DC +/- 10% 110mA Max 14°F ~ 122°F / -10°C ~ 50°C 7.
Appendix B: About Digital Wireless Technology 8. Appendix B: About Digital Wireless Technology The Digital Wireless signal transmission type used by Lorex digital wireless cameras is also known as FHSS—Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. The 2.4GHz (2.400-2.480GHz) band is divided into sections or paths of 2MHz per section, and each second, the transmission signal hops hundreds of times in a specified sequence within this frequency range.
Appendix C: Facts About Digital Wireless Cameras 9. Appendix C: Facts About Digital Wireless Cameras 9.1 Wired vs. Wireless Cameras A wired camera has a video cable that transmits the video signal from the camera to a recording or viewing device. A wireless camera does not use a video cable. Instead, it wirelessly transmits the video signal to a wireless receiver that is connected to your recording or viewing device.
Appendix C: Facts About Digital Wireless Cameras Signal Reduction Through Materials Signal strength decreases as it passes through different types of material. Try to position your wireless camera and receiver in a location where the signal does not pass through metal or concrete blocks, which can significantly reduce signal strength (as shown in the table below).
Appendix D: Troubleshooting 10. Appendix D: Troubleshooting If you have problems with your system, there is often a quick and simple solution. Please try the following: Problem 12 Solution There is no picture from the camera • Make sure that the camera is plugged into a power outlet and that the power adapter is plugged in properly. • Move the camera closer to the receiver.
Appendix E: Frequently Asked Questions 11. Appendix E: Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the maximum distance I can have between the camera and the receiver? A: Typically 500 feet (152m) with a clear line of sight in open space, or approximately 165 feet (50m) in a house. Walls, studs, and furniture will interfere with the range of wireless transmission. Q: Why does my "wireless camera" have a power cable? A: The term "wireless" refers to the lack of a video cable between the camera and the receiver.
Appendix F: Extending Wireless Signal Range 12. Appendix F: Extending Wireless Signal Range DISCLAIMER: Certain accessories are not available in all markets. There are several ways to boost your wireless signal as well as options to help you extend the range of the wireless signal. Clear Line-of-Sight The digital wireless signal is virtually interference free. However, you should always ensure there is a clear line-of-sight between the camera and the receiver.
Appendix F: Extending Wireless Signal Range 2.4 GHZ Directional Wireless Panel Antenna Use the 2.4GHz Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (model #: ACCANTD9) to focus a wireless signal onto one specific camera in order to increase the range of transmission (clear line-of-sight between the camera and the antenna is required). A 20ft extension cable is included to help to properly position the antenna.
