11Appendix B: Frequently Asked Questions9. Appendix B: Frequently Asked Questions9.1 Wired vs. Wireless CamerasA wired camera has a video cable that transmits the video signal from the camera to a recording or viewing device.A wireless camera does not use a video cable. Instead, it wirelessly transmits the video signal to a wireless receiver that is connected to your DVR. Wireless cameras do not require video cabling to be run between the camera and the DVR, which reduces installation time and cost.9.2 Does a wireless camera require power?Yes. Wireless cameras require two power sources: one connected to the camera, and the other to the receiver. The term "wireless" refers to the lack of a video cable between the camera and the receiver.9.3 How far can a wireless camera transmit a video signal?In an open field (with line of sight), a typical wireless camera has a range between 250 - 500 feet. 'Line-of-sight' means that there are no obstructions between the camera and receiver. Obstructions include walls, buildings, trees, and certain electronic devices. Materials containing moisture (for example, leaves) may also act as an obstruction. Cubical walls, drywall, glass, and windows generally do not degrade wireless signal strength. In a closed environment—such as the interior of a house—the wireless camera range is between 100 - 165 feet. The signal range varies depending on the type of building materials or objects the wireless signal must pass through. The signal range also depends on whether there are competing signals using the same frequency as the camera. For example, signals from cordless phones or routers may affect signal strength. Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology featured in the latest Lorex models greatly reduce signal interference.Range Limiting Factors1ReflectionThe signal reflects backScatteringThe signal scatters back into multiple new signalsRefractionThe signal bends as it travels through an object (e.g. glass window)DiffractionThe signal changes direction as it passes around an objectAttenuationThe signal strength weakens as it passes through an object1Source: Xirrus (2010). "Wi-Fi Range Dynamics". Retrieved online at http://xirrus.gcsmarket.com/pdfs/Xirrus_Wi-Fi_Range.pdf
12Appendix B: Frequently Asked QuestionsSignal Reduction Through MaterialsSignal strength decreases as it passes through different types of material. The table below shows how signals become reduced when passing through different materials:Material Signal Reduction (%)Plaster & Wood 10 - 30%Brick 30 - 50%Concrete Cinder Blocks 50 - 70%Metal & Metal Cladding 70 - 90%NOTE: Signals that must pass through wet or moist materials (e.g. shrubs and trees) may be significantly reduced.The stronger the signal strength, the higher the video frame rate. The lower the signal strength, the lower the video frame rate.Full signal strength (high frame rate) Low signal strength (low frame rate)9.4 Are digital wireless camera signals secure?Yes. Lorex digital wireless products feature a wireless transmission method called Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). This type of signal is highly resistant to eavesdropping as it generates a channel hopping sequence using an algorithm generated by the receiver, which only the camera can follow through the "pairing" function. Pairing is an electronic handshake between digital wireless devices. Digital wireless cameras can only be paired to one receiver. This is to prevent interception by third parties, and prevents any other device from picking up the signal—this also means that you cannot pair one camera to multiple receivers.9.5 How many frames per second should I expect from a digital wireless camera?Current Lorex digital wireless cameras offer 10 - 30 FPS (Frames Per Second) performance. Actual frame rate depends mainly on signal strength (see the chart in section above).For details on supported resolutions and frame rates for this model, see “Appendix A: System Specifications” on page 10.9.6 How many wireless cameras can I install?It is recommended to install a maximum of 4 wireless cameras per system (4 receivers and 4 cameras). Minimum space between receivers should be 4 inches / 10cm and minimum space between cameras should be 6.5ft / 2m to minimize potential signal strength degradation.

14Appendix D: Extending Wireless Signal Range11. Appendix D: Extending Wireless Signal RangeDISCLAIMER: Certain accessories are not available in all markets.There are several ways to boost your wireless signal as well as options to help you extend the range of the wireless signal.Clear Line-of-SightYou should always try to ensure there is a clear line-of-sight between the camera and the receiver.Clear line of sightReceiverExtending Your Wireless SignalEven with a clear line-of-sight between your camera(s) and your receiver(s), you may experience a lower video frame rate simply due to the distance between your wireless devices.Accessory antennas are available that can help extend the range of your wireless signal.
15Appendix D: Extending Wireless Signal Range2.4 GHZ Directional Wireless Panel AntennaUse the 2.4GHz Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (model #: ACCANTD9) to focus aDirectional Wireless Panel Antenna wireless signal onto the camera in order to increase the range of transmission (clear line-of-sight between the camera and the antenna is required). A 20ft extension cable is included to help to properly position the antenna.Scenario 1: Single Receiver InstallationAttach a directional antenna to the camera and/or the receiver. It is recommended to attach the antenna to the receiver and place it in a location that has clear line-of-sight to the camera. Ensure that the directional antenna is pointing toward the other antenna. For example, if the directional antenna is connected to your receiver, the directional antenna should point at the camera (see figure above). During the installation, check the reception on your DVR.Scenario 2: Multiple Camera / Receiver InstallationIf you are using multiple wireless cameras and receivers in your installation, attach directional antennas to the camera(s) and receiver(s) that are farthest away from each other. Follow these guidelines to increase the signal strength between your cameras and receivers:• Point directional antennas towards the receiver for each camera.• Keep as much space as possible between each receiver.• Keep as much space as possible between directional antennas if using more than one.• Minimize the amount of obstructions (e.g. walls or trees) between the antennas and receivers.• During the installation, check the reception of each camera on your DVR.Visit www.lorextechnology.com for more details on wireless antennas and accessories.
