Solving Problems If you have any trouble with your system, try these simple steps first. If you still have a question, call our Customer Care Line listed on the front cover. If… Try.. The image on the display is too bright. --Adjusting the brightness on the receiver (in the System Setup sub-menu). --Moving the camera’s sun shield over the lens. The image on the display is too dim. --Adjusting the brightness on the receiver (in the System Setup sub-menu).
Unstable or Weak Signal If the video seems to lag and or the audio sounds weak, the camera and the receiver do not have a strong, clear signal between them. There are several causes for a weak signal: Possible Cause Solution The camera might be too far from the receiver. --Adjust the antennas on the receiver and the camera. Often, changing the angle of the antenna can improve the signal strength. --Try moving the camera closer to the receiver. The battery in the receiver may be low.
Signal Level Icon Data Rate (kbps) Frames per second (approx) QVGA (Zoom) VGA (Normal) Fair 543~725 8~12 2~4 Low 250~543 0~5 0~1 Zero 0~250 0 0 If the suggestions above don’t provide enough improvement in the the signal quality, you may want to run the camera at QVGA or zoom mode. When the camera is in zoom mode, it sends fewer pixels to the receiver, so the video performance is not as affected by the weak signal.
If the static is only on 1 camera If the static is on all cameras --Check near the camera for one of the common interference sources. --Try moving the camera away from a suspected source, or try moving the suspected source so it’s not between the camera and the receiver. --Try moving closer to the receiver. There is always more noise at the edges of the receiver’s range. --Check near the receiver for the source of interference.
