FAQ
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.
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: 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 encrypted and 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 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: Can I use 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz systems at the same time?
A: Yes. 900 MHz devices and 2.4 GHz devices will not interfere with one another.
Q: Can I connect analogue 2.4 GHz wireless cameras to the wireless receiver?
A: No, analogue and digital wireless products are incompatible. Visit www.lorexcctv.com
for a
full list of cameras and accessories that are compatible with this system.
Q: What does the flashing power-plug icon mean?
A: A power failure occurred while the system was actively recording. When power is restored,
the system will restart in
Auto Sequence Mode + Motion Recording
to ensure some form of
recording is active on the system. System settings and modes may have been disrupted by the
power failure. Please check all system settings and re-apply any options, recording modes, or
display views if necessary.
