Appendix E: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum distance I can have 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.

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 does 'line-of-sight' mean?

A:'Line-of-sight' means that there are no obstructions between the camera and receiver. Obstructions include walls, buildings, trees, and certain electronic devices. Materials containing moisture (i.e wet leaves) may also act as an obstruction.

Q: What is pairing?

A:Pairing is an electronic handshake between digital wireless devices. Pairing allows the devices to communicate exclusively with each other.

Q: Can digital wireless cameras be paired to more than one receiver?

A:No.Digital Wireless cameras can only be paired to one receiver. This is to prevent interception 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: How can I extend the wireless range?

A:A range extender kit is available on www.lorexcctv.com. For details, see “Appendix F: Extending Wireless Range” on page 15.
