Frequently Asked Questions
What
is the difference between the different wireless frequencies?
2.4
GHz: 4 Channel transmitter. Approximately 2" x
2" x 1/2". No tuning required. We generally recommend
2.4 GHz over 434 MHz or 900 MHz, as the overall video quality
is better. Range varies from 200' to 700' depending on environmental
conditions. Operates on 12 Volts. These units are FCC approved.
434
MHz: Lower frequency amateur band. Operates on one channel
which is picked up directly by a television. You do not
need a receiver. With a TV: set to channel 59, cable mode
but remove actual cable from the input, and use a UHF antenna
(high gain increases the range) ears to receive the signal.
With a hand held TV: can be received on UHF band just below
channel 14. Range can vary from 300-400 up to 1,000 feet.
The range can vary depending on frequency interference and
other environmental factors. Antenna is approximately 6
1/2 inches. Operates on 9 Volts.
900
MHz: Amateur band. 4 channels available in the 900 band.
The signal goes to a dedicated receiver that is tuned from
902-930. Our standard transmitter is set at 916.5 MHz, but
we also carry 3 other frequencies. Manual or automatic switching
receiver. Range can vary from 200-700 feet or more depending
on environmental conditions. Antenna is approximately 3
1/2 inches. Operates on 9 Volts.
What
is CCD?
- It is analog technology. The CCD camera has a little bit
higher resolution than CMOS. The camera also functions better
in low light. A CCD camera drains a little bit more power
than the CMOS cameras. It uses 12v instead of 9v. CMOS camera
is smaller than a CCD camera and works longer with the 9v
battery.
What

the receivers work through walls up to two feet thick?
- Yes as long as there isn't excessive amount of metal in
the wall.

Monitor.
How
much will the Yagi Antennas increase reception range?
- The Yagi Mini Antenna will increase your reception by
100 ft. and the Yagi Antenna will increase your reception

Do
you need a VCR to record or will the cameras record?
- You must have a VCR if you want to record.
Will
a 900Mhz camera and receiver interfere with my 900Mhz cordless
phone? - No The 900Mhz Cameras Are Set To A Different

How
long will the camera last with a 9-volt battery? - The
434Mhz and the 900Mhz camera will last about ten hours.
The 2.4Ghz will last about five hours.
What
is LUX? - LUX is the measurement of low light needed
for the camera to view and record properly.
What
is the operating temperature of the cameras?
The operating temperatures of the B/W cameras are -23°C
to + 50°C or -10ºF to +122ºF
