When Placing Multiple Cameras
When two or more digital wireless cameras
are placed too close together, the receiver can
have diffi culty distinguishing between the two
signals, for much the same reason as it would
be diffi cult to listen to two people standing side
by side and both talking at the same volume.
Keep your cameras as far apart as possible –
ideally, at least 6 ~ 9 feet (perhaps 2 ~ 3m).
The result of two cameras too near one another
will be a reduction in quality of your picture,
with the possibility of a slight pause when
changing channels.
If you are experiencing these problems and simply cannot move cameras apart,
then try orienting the antennas away from one another. This will not have as
dramatic an effect as actually moving the camera, but often can provide somewhat
of an improvement.
Tips & Tricks: The best image possible
To help improve the clarity and frame rate of your images:
Reduce the number of obstacles between the camera and receiver. Ideally,
•
there should be a clear line of sight from one to the other.
Keep the cameras and receiver away from devices which make a lot of radio
•
“noise” such as wireless routers and microwaves.
Try to avoid environments with thick brick and concrete walls, as well as areas
•
with large amounts of metals.
Overview & Layout
Expanding your Digital Wireless monitoring capabilities!
This extra camera for the ADW-200 system is a high quality yet cost effective way
to expand and improve your digital wireless monitoring system. Up to four (4)
ADW-200 cameras can be paired with a single receiver.
The ADW-200 uses a secure digital transmission, greatly increasing the integrity
and privacy of your images. This, however, does mean that the ADW-200 camera
is not compatible with other wireless systems, whether they be digital or analog.
This digital wireless camera is compatible
with the ADW-200 receiver only!
For more information about the ADW-200 receiver, see the manual which came
with the receiver. This manual contains only the information required to connect
an additional camera to a previously installed ADW-200 system.

Pairing Cameras
Each camera you use will need to be paired with one channel on the
receiver. A camera can only be paired to one channel at a time, and
one channel can only have one camera paired with it. Thus, pairing
a channel to a camera will replace any camera previously paired with
it.
Activate the channel you want to pair a camera to (see below).
•
Use the CH button to set the receiver to the channel you want to pair to.
•
Press and hold the CH button until the LED on the front of the receiver begins
•
to fl ash rapidly.
Quickly press the pairing button on the
•
power cable of the camera you want
to pair to this channel.
The red LEDs on the front of the receiver will let you know which channel you have
selected, what state that channel is in. Channels which are turned off will not be
selectable, and the LED will stay off.
Always On:
The channel in question is selected, and has an active camera
paired
with
it.
Flashing Slowly:
The channel is selected but cannot detect a camera which has
been paired with it. This could happen if you’ve re-paired the
camera to a different channel, or you’ve activated a channel
without pairing a camera to it.
Flashing Quickly:
The channel is in pairing mode, awaiting the pairing signal from
a
camera.
Active Channels
The ADW-200 receiver can potentially support up to four cameras. It cannot
display all of these at a time, however. Rather, you can use Loop Mode, which will
sequentially display images from one camera at a time. As you can have between
one and four cameras paired with the receiver, you’ll need to set how many
channels are active, and which channels they are.
Located on the rear of the receiver
you’ll fi nd a series of DIP switches.
These are labelled from 1 to 4,
with a fi fth switch named “L”.
The switches 1 ~ 4 activate each
channel. A channel is ON when
the switch is in the downwards
position, as indicated in the
diagram. The switch marked “L”
toggles loop mode on or off.

The Pairing Button
In this example,
channels 1 and 2
have been activated,
and the receiver set
to
Loop Mode
. Thus,
channel 1 will be
displayed, then the
display will switch
to channel 2 and
then back again.
Channels 3 & 4 will
not be shown.
