Connecting additional wireless cameras (not included)
The RedAlert/BlueAlert DVR is capable of receiving up to 4 wireless cameras. Note only
the displayed camera can be recorded. The DVR operates on the following frequencies:
CH1 - 2414MHz, CH2 - 2432MHz, CH3 - 2450MHz, CH4 - 2468MHz.
Push the Set button on the front of the RedAlert/BlueAlert to change wireless camera

Achieving the best wireless signal
Depending on local conditions wireless signals may vary. A clear line of sight from the DVR
to the camera will achieve the best image. Walls, metals and other wireless devices may
impact the quality of an image. If too much interference occurs on any channel, move the
camera or DVR to another location or change camera channels.
