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 is a Quad? - A Quad
splits your monitor into 4 sections allowing you to view 4
cameras at once.
Do you have a monitor that
has built in Quad? - No, we do not have a monitor with
built in Quad.
Will a Quad allow four cameras
to record at the same time? - Yes you can record all four
cameras at the same time. You also can record using a switching
monitor, which will record the camera that is showing at that
moment.
Do the receivers work through
walls up to two feet thick? - Yes as long as there isn't
excessive amount of metal in the wall.
Do the plug and play connections
require extra wire to run the signal back to the VCR or TV?
- Yes, you need to buy the length of cable you need we offer
the CA-25, CA-50 and the CA-100.
Do I need cable on my TV
to get channel 59 to work? - No, you just need the cable
setting for your TV or VCR and then turn it to cable channel
59.
Do the display screens work
on the cell phone or the beeper? - No, nothing but the
camera works on the cell phone and the beeper.
Do any cameras come with
audio? -No. However, the ACC-MIC can be used to record
audio on any wired cameras, except hidden cameras.
Do I need a VCR from you
or can I use my own VCR? - You can use your own VCR for
recording. However, the VCR will have to be recording all
the time. If you are using the motion detector video system,
you will need to buy a VCR from us
How do I hook up the Plug
and Play connection camera? - This Is done by running
the RCA (Aux) line into the VIDEO IN of the VCR or TV. The
TV or VCR must be set on the correct channel to view the VIDEO
IN picture.
How many cameras can I
hook up to one TV? -
-Only one 434MHz camera.
-Three 900MHz cameras.
-Four 2.4GHz cameras. You will need a Quad or a Switching
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 by 200 ft.
Do you need a VCR to record
or will the cameras record? - You must have a VCR or DVR
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 Band Width And Frequency.
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
The operation temperatures of the color cameras are -23º
C to +40ºC or -10ºF to +104ºF
The storage temperature & humidity is -30ºC to +70ºC
or -22ºF to +158ºF
