Camera Placement & Interference

The Wireless OutdoorCam operates on 2.4GHz frequency. Some devices such as wireless 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 or aim the receiver 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

-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 camera channels

-disconnect all other wireless devices to find out which is causing the problem and adjust your setup accordingly

-analog wireless cameras are not recommended for use with DVR systems; if you are looking for a wireless camera solution for recording purposes see the digital wireless ADW-300 (SW233-ADW) which will not suffer from interference

-some wireless signals may originate from nearby homes or businesses; in this case

a wired camera may be necessary

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem: I can’t see the camera or receiver on my TV.

Solution: Ensure the camera and receiver are plugged in and the TV or VCR is tuned to the correct input channel as described on Page 6.

Problem: All I can see at night is a white image.

Solution: The camera’s infrared LEDs shine invisible light that reflects off surfaces such as glass causing white light. Place the camera on the other side of windows or place lens of camera flush against the window to try to improve the night vision or place the camera in a well lit area.

Problem: I keep getting interference in my home or business.

Solution: The Wireless OutdoorCam operates on the 2.4GHz frequency like many devices such as wireless routers, cordless phones, microwaves. If possible keep the cameras and receivers away from these devices.

Problem: Motion detection on my DVR keeps recording interference from my cameras.

Solution: Analog cameras such as the Wireless OutdoorCam are not recommended for use with DVRs due to potential interference from other devices. We recommend using wired cameras or the ADW-300 Digital Wireless (SW233-ADW) camera that does not suffer from interference.

Problem: The picture keeps changing from one camera to the next.

Solution: The receiver is in Loop Mode. On the receiver move the ‘L’ switch up to the Off position.

Problem: I only see 1 or 2 of my cameras when I press the Set button. Solution: Channels on the receiver are turned off. Move the switches down to the ON position to activate all cameras.

Problem: When I try to power the camera with a battery the image stops transmitting after only a couple of hours.

Solution: This camera requires a constant supply of power to operate. Batteries can be used for temporary testing, placement purposes but mains power is recommended for a long term solution.
