Camera and Interference
T
he wireless camera operates on the 2.4GHz frequency. Some devices such as wireless
broadband routers, microwaves, cordless phones can cause interference and affect picture
quality as they use the same frequency. If you are experiencing interference or poor image
quality try the following steps:
- move or orient the camera in a different location.
- adjust the receiver’s antenna.
- limit the number of walls, floors between the camera and receiver as this can
dramatically alter picture quality.
- dense materials such as concrete or metal will impede the wireless signal; move the
camera and/or receiver away from dense materials. A metal radiator is an example.
- if possible keep the camera and receiver away from or move conflicting devices such
as wireless routers, microwaves, cordless phones.
- make sure all Cameras are set to different channels.
- disconnect all other wireless devices to find out which is causing the problem and
adjust your setup accordingly.
- some wireless signals may originate from nearby homes or businesses; in this case a
wired camera may be necessary.
