Frequently Asked Questions
NOTE: The flashing icon appears ONLY if the system was actively recording when the power
failure occurred. The flashing icon will disappear when you press buttons on the
receiver or remote.
NOTE: If
a power failure occurs during recording, you may lose video recorded within ten
minutes of occurrence of the power failure if set to Manual or Scheduled Recording
Q: What is the maximum distance I can hav
e between the camera and the receiver?
A: Typically 450 feet (137 m) with a clear line of sight in
open space, or approximately 150
feet(46 m) in a house. Walls, studs, furniture will interfere with the range of wireless
transmission. Try repositioning the camera and/or monitor to achieve optimal signal
strength. An optional antenna (available at lorextechnology.com) may help extend the
range and/or get around obstacles.
Q: What does 'line-of-sight' mean?
A: 'Line-of-sight' means that there are no obstructions which may
interfere with the
transmission of the audio/video signal. Obstructions include items such as walls, buildings
and certain electronic devices.
Q: Why does my "wireless camera" have a power cable?
A: The term "wireless" refers to the lack of a video cable
between the camera and the
receiver. The camera still requires a power source.
Q: What is pairing?
A: Pairing is an electronic handshake between digital
wireless devices. Pairing allows the
devices to communicate exclusively with each other. The transmission is secure.
Q: Can digital wireless cameras be paired to more than one receiver?
A: Digital Wireless cameras can only be paired to one receiver. This is to prevent
intercept
ion by 3rd parties, and prevents any other device from picking up the signal - this
also means that you cannot pair one camera to multiple receivers.
Q: What does the flashing power-pl
ug icon mean?
A: A power failure occurred while the system was actively recording. Refer to "What
happens
to the unit during a power failure" for details.
Q: What accessories can I add to
the system?
You can add extra cameras and a range extender to the unit:
• LW2711AC1 - Accessory Camera
• A
CCANTD9 - Accessory range extender antenna for camera or LCD Monitor - directional, 9 dBi
• ACCANTO8 - Accessory range extender (for LCD monitor ONLY)
For details, see “Appendix D: Strengthening the Range of the Wireless Signal” on page 34.
