Appendix B: About Digital Wireless Technology
The Digital Wireless signal transmission type used by the Lorex LW2110 is also known as FHSS -Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. This type of signal results in a private, interference-free signal.
The 2.4GHz (2.400-2.480Ghz) band is being 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. The overall bandwidth required for frequency hopping is much wider then 2MHz 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 13.5-16dBm, 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 vastly reduced. 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.
Appendix C: Facts About Digital Wireless Cameras
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. Although the typical digital wireless camera is priced slightly higher than a wired camera, wireless cameras can provide cost savings compared to standard wired setups. For example, wireless cameras do not require cabling to be run between the camera and the viewing / recording device, which reduces installation time and cost.
Does a wireless camera require power?
Yes. Wireless cameras require two power sources: one connected to the camera, and the other to the receiver.
How far can a wireless camera transmit a video signal?
In an open field (with line of sight), a typical wireless camera has a range between 250 to 450 feet. In a closed environment---such as an interior of a house---the wireless camera range is between 100 to 150 feet. The signal range varies depending on the type of building materials and/or objects the wireless signal must pass through.
Cubical walls, drywall, glass, and windows generally do not degrade wireless signal strength. Brick, concrete floors and walls degrade signal strength ^1 . Trees that are in the line of sight of the wireless camera and receiver may impact signal strength.
The signal range also depends on whether there are competing signals using the same frequency as the camera. For example, signals from cordless phones, routers may affect signal strength.
Range Limiting Factors ^1

Reflection
The signal reflects back

Scattering
The signal scatters back into multiple new signals

Refraction
The signal bends as it travels through an object (i.e glass window)

Diffraction
The signal changes direction as it passes around an object

Attenuation
The signal strength weakens as it passes through an object
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 that does not pass through metal, or concrete blocks, which can significantly reduce signal strength (as shown in the table below).
| 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 (i.e. shrubs and trees) may be significantly reduced.
The stronger the signal strength, the higher the video frame rate. The lower the signal strength, the lower the video frame rate.

graph LR
A["Full signal strength\n(high frame rate)"] --> B
B --> C["Low signal strength\n(low frame rate)"]
Are Digital Wireless Camera Signals Secure?
Yes. Lorex digital wireless products feature a wireless transmission method called FHSS -Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum.
This type of signal is highly resistant to eavesdropping as it generates a channel hopping sequence using an algorithm generated by the receiver, which only the camera can follow through the "pairing" function. FHSS makes digital wireless signals secure, private, and interference free.
How many frames per second should I expect from a digital wireless camera?
Current Lorex digital wireless cameras offer 10 - 30 FPS (Frames Per Second) performance. Actual frame rate depends mainly on signal strength and resolution (see the chart above). Most digital wireless cameras support one or both of the following resolutions: QVGA, and VGA.
QVGA produces video at up to 30 FPS at 320x240 resolution.
VGA produces video at up to 10-12 FPS at 640x480 resolution.
How many wireless cameras can I install?
It is recommended to install a maximum of 4 (four) wireless cameras per system.
Appendix D: 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 a camera | Check power to the camera. Make sure the adapter is plugged in properly.Move the camera closer to the receiver. |
| The picture is dropping • Move the camera closer to the receiver.Try repositioning the camera, receiver, or both to improve the reception. | |
| The picture is or has become choppy | The picture may become choppy when experiencing a lower frame rate (e.g. 6 frames per second vs. a higher 12 frames per second).Try moving the camera closer to the receiver.Remove obstructions between the receiver and camera.Try switching to QVGA mode. Resolution will be reduced but video frame rate will increase. |
| The picture appears to be unsharp | When viewing on a large screen TV or monitor (especially high-definition televisions), the picture might seem unsharp as the camera is limited to VGA resolution (640x480 pixels), while the TV or monitor supports a much higher resolution.For best performance, use with TV/monitor PIP (Picture in Picture) function. Check your TV/Monitor product manual to see if this feature is available on your TV/Monitor. |
| The picture is white • Common situation known as "washout" or "white wash" where a strong light source is pointed at the camera lens. The camera lens is not harmed during a white wash.Do not point your camera towards a light source. | |
| The picture is pixelated • You may be in QVGA mode. Try switching to VGA mode by pressing the Resolution button on the receiver. | |
Appendix E: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum distance I can have between the camera and the receiver?
A: Typically 450 feet (137 m) with a clear line of sight in open space, or approximately 150 feet (46 m) in a house. Walls, studs, 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. The camera still requires a power source.
Q: What does 'line-of-sight' mean?
A: 'Line-of-sight' means that there are no obstructions between the camera and receiver. Obstructions include walls, buildings, trees, and certain electronic devices. Materials containing moisture (i.e wet leaves) may also act as an obstruction.
Q: What is pairing?
A: Pairing is an electronic handshake between digital wireless devices. Pairing allows the devices to communicate exclusively with each other.
Q: Can digital wireless cameras be paired to more than one receiver?
A: No. Digital Wireless cameras can only be paired to one receiver. This is to prevent interception by 3rd parties, and prevents any other device from picking up the signal - this also means that you cannot pair one camera to multiple receivers.
Q: How can I extend the wireless range?
A: A range extender kit is available on www.lorexcctv.com. For details, see "Appendix F: Extending Wireless Range" on page 15.
Appendix F: Extending Wireless Range
The receiver included with the LW2110 series does not support range extender antennas. Should you require a wireless range extension, a range extender accessory kit is available.
Wireless range extension should be considered if you experience a low signal strength (1 or 2 signal bars) due to an extended distance between the receiver and camera, or because of objects preventing line of sight between the receiver and camera.
The range extender accessory kit includes a 20ft cable and a higher power indoor/outdoor antenna which allows you to reposition the antenna outdoors for direct line of sight with the camera OR simply to get around objects which are blocking the wireless signal (e.g. metal walls). Find an example below of a typical situation in which a range extender kit is used to achieve line of sight to improve signal strength.
Example 1: No line of sight

Example 2: Line of sight achieved through use of range extender
