Unstable or Weak Signal

If the video seems to lag and or the audio sounds weak, the camera and the receiver do not have a strong, clear signal between them. There are several causes for a weak signal:

Possible Cause	Solution
The camera might be too	--Adjust the antennas on the receiver and the camera. Often, changing

	--Adjust the antennas on the receiver and the camera.
	--Remove as many obstacles from the signal path as possible,

There may be too many	--Avoid placing the camera and receiver where the signal path crosses

Weak signal and video performance

The video performance is directly affected by the signal quality. As the signal weakens degrades, the amount of data transferred decreases, and the video frame rate goes down. The table below shows a breakdown of the performance you can expect at the different levels of signal quality.
