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.
-
There may be too many
obstacles between the
camera and receiver.
Adjust the antennas on the receiver and the camera.
-
Remove as many obstacles from the signal path as possible,
-
especially reinforced concrete walls and any large metal objects that
might reflect the signal.
Avoid placing the camera and receiver where the signal path crosses
-
a high-traffic area or body of water. For example, place the camera
on the same side of a hallway as the receiver or mount the camera
at least 2m (about 7 feet) up.
Relocate the camera and receiver so that there is a clear line of sight
-
between them.
Try moving the camera closer to the receiver.
-
Noise or Static
The most likely cause of noise (flickering image) or static is interference. There are many common sources of
interference:
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
►
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment
►
other radio-based wireless devices, such as cordless telephones
►
wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers
►
large florescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)
►
working motors (hair dryers, heater/air conditioners, water pumps)
