TIPS & TROUBLE SHOOTING
Snow on the Monitor
If there is snow or noise on your monitor this is a good indication that the receiver is
receiving a weak signal.
To correct an image that has a lot of noise (snow) a number of things can be done.
Move the transmitter and receiver closer together.
Eliminate obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.
Add a high gain antenna to the receiver end to increase receive sensitivity.
Interference
We strongly recommend that you always conduct a temporary setup of any wireless
equipment before systems are permanently mounted. As we are sharing a radio
frequency that is considered part of the public band, we do not have any entitlement to
that frequency and must accept interference if it exists.
Examples of RF Interference
Other 5.8GHz video transmitters in your area.
5.8GHz wireless data network, LAN or WAN.
Proximity to some consumer products may be a source of interference.
Examples include cordless phones, consumer data transceivers for wireless
internet, and Bluetooth devices.
Other Examples of Interference Not Related to Wireless
Improper line-of-sight, installation or alignment of transmitters and receivers.
Power source ground loops.
Incorrect voltages to devices (too high or too low), including transmitters and
receivers.
Possible Solutions if Experiencing Interference
Change the channel of your transmitter or move your wireless video devices
farther away from the source of interference. Transmitters do not have to be
beside the camera source and the receivers do not have to be beside the
monitoring equipment.
Depending on the installation, use an existing building as a shield from
interfering sources.
Use separate regulated power supplies for each device.
