When the camera is in zoom mode, it sends fewer pixels to the receiver, so the video performance is not as affected by the weak signal. Noise or Static The most likely cause of noise (flickering image) or static is interference. There are many common sources of interference: ► electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens ► computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment ► other radio-based wireless devices, such as cordless telephones ► wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers ► large florescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise) ► working motors (hair dryers, heater/air conditioners, water pumps) If the static is only on 1 camera - Check near the camera for one of the common interference sources. - Try moving the camera away from a suspected source, or try moving the suspected source so it's not between the camera and the receiver. - Try moving closer to the receiver. There is always more noise at the edges of the receiver's range. If the static is on all cameras - Check near the receiver for the source of interference. - Try moving the receiver away from a suspected source, or turn off the source if possible. - Try raising the receiver's antenna so it stands straight up. 20

want to run the camera at QVGA or zoom mode. When the camera is in zoom mode, it sends fewer
pixels to the receiver, so the video performance is not as affected by the weak signal.
Noise or Static
The most likely cause of noise (flickering image) or static is interference. There are many common
sources of interference:
electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment
other radio-based wireless devices, such as cordless telephones
wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers
large florescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)
working motors (hair dryers, heater/air conditioners, water pumps)
If the static is only on 1 camera
If the static is on all cameras
Check near the camera for one of the common
interference sources.
Try moving the camera away from a suspected
source, or try moving the suspected source so it’s
not between the camera and the receiver.
Try moving closer to the receiver. There is always
more noise at the edges of the receiver’s range.
