Camera Installation

Before you install the camera, carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the power adaptor.

Before starting permanent installation, verify its performance by observing the image on the receiver when camera is positioned in the same location/position where it will be permanently installed and the receiver is placed in the location where it will be used most of the time.

InstallationWarnings:

Aim the Camera(s) to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source or direct sunlight.

Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick walls, or obstructions between the Cameras and the Receiver.

Night Vision

This camera has built-in IR LEDs, which provides the camera with the ability to view images in no/low light conditions. It is important to use the provided power adaptor (and not the Batteries) when using the camera for prolonged periods in low light conditions, as the built-in IR LEDs will drain the battery more quickly than regular daytime use.

Installing the Camera:

Appendix #3 - About Digital Wireless Technology

The Digital Wireless signal transmission type used in this digital unit is also known as FHSS -Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. This type of signal is highly resistant to deliberate jamming as it generates a channel hopping sequence using an algorithm generated by the receiver system.

The 2.4 GHz (2.400-2.483 Ghz) band is being divided into sections or paths of 2 MHz per section, and each second the transmission signal hops hundreds of times in a specified sequence within this frequency range. The overall bandwidth required for frequency hopping is much wider than 2 MHz however because transmission occurs only on a small section of this bandwidth at any given time, the signal being transmitted does not suffer from greatly reduced signal degradation and also avoids blocked paths other devices who act as sources of competing signals. The strength of the signal being transmitted is set to be from 13.5-16 dBm, which is much higher than the analog transmission signal allowed by authorities around the Globe.

When an image is captured by the camera it is instantly converted from an analog to digital signal and packaged into small packets. With each successful transmission via the 2 Mhz paths discussed above, the packets of information containing images are delivered to the receiver and decoded into analog information. The information can then be displayed on devices that are connected to the wireless receiver (RX).

A device pairing process is required to synchronize the transmitter (TX, Camera) and the receiver (RX). This allows the transmitter and receiver to be on the same frequency and use the same algorithm for frequency hopping. This ensures that only the paired transmitter and receiver can maintain communication signal by hopping to the same frequency paths at the exact same time. As a result, the chance that other devices within the same frequency range are on the same frequency, at the same time and in the same order is extremely unlikely. Note that the pairing process is already done at the factory for products that ship within the same packaging. Only when add-on devices are purchased is a pairing process required.
