Appendix B: Frequently Asked Questions 9. Appendix B: Frequently Asked Questions 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 DVR. Wireless cameras do not require video cabling to be run between the camera and the DVR, which reduces installation time and cost. 9.
Appendix B: Frequently Asked Questions Signal Reduction Through Materials Signal strength decreases as it passes through different types of material. The table below shows how signals become reduced when passing through different materials: Material Signal Reduction (%) Plaster & Wood 10 - 30% Brick 30 - 50% Concrete Cinder Blocks 50 - 70% Metal & Metal Cladding 70 - 90% NOTE: Signals that must pass through wet or moist materials (e.g. shrubs and trees) may be significantly reduced.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting 10. Appendix C: Troubleshooting If you have problems with your system, there is often a quick and simple solution. Please try the following: Problem Solution There is no picture from the camera(s) • Make sure that the camera is plugged into a power outlet and that the power adapter is plugged in properly. • Make sure receiver is plugged into a power outlet. • Move the camera closer to the receiver. • Make sure BNC video output cable is connected to your DVR or television.
Appendix D: Extending Wireless Signal Range 11. Appendix D: 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 You should always try to ensure there is a clear line-of-sight between the camera and the receiver.
Appendix D: 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 the 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.
