roof eaves. The diagram to
the right shows an example
of an ideal location for
outdoor placement.
Installation Tips & Warnings
• Aim the cameras to best optimize the viewing area:
select a location for the camera that provides a clear
view of the area you want to monitor.
• Install camera in an area that is free from dust, and
that is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source or
direct sunlight.
• Avoid installing the camera where there are thick
walls or obstructions between the camera and the
receiver.
• Avoid installing in a location which requires the
wireless signal to pass through cement, concrete,
and metal structures. This will reduce the range of
transmission. For details, s See “Appendix B:

Appendix B:
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between wired
and wireless cameras?
A 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 recording
or viewing device. Although the typical digital wireless
camera is priced slightly higher than a wired camera,
wireless cameras can provide cost savings compared
to standard wired setups. For example, wireless
cameras do not require cabling to be run between the
camera and the viewing / recording device, which
reduces installation time and cost.
Does a wireless camera require power?
Yes. Wireless cameras require two power sources: one
connected to the camera, and the other to the receiver.
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 to 500ft. In a
closed environment—such as an interior of a house—
the wireless camera range is between 100 to 165ft
The signal range varies depending on the type of
building materials and/or objects the wireless signal
must pass through.
Cubical walls, drywall, glass, and windows generally
do not degrade wireless signal strength. Brick,
concrete floors, and walls degrade signal strength.
Trees that are in the line of sight of the wireless camera
and receiver may impact signal strength.
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.

on
Signal strength decreases as it passes through different
types of material. Try to position your wireless camera
and receiver in a location where the signal does not
pass through metal or concrete blocks, which can
significantly reduce signal strength (as shown in the
table below).
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
Low Signal Strength
(high frame rate)
(low frame rate)
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.
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
2ft / 0.6m and minimum space between cameras
should be 6.5ft / 2m to minimize potential signal
strength degradation.
15
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, s See “Appendix A:
Technical Specifications” on page 12.

DISCLAIMER: 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-Sight
The digital wireless signal is virtually interference free.
However, you should always ensure there is a clear
line-of-sight between the camera and the receiver.
Clear line-of-sight
Receiver
Obstacles
There should be little to no obstacles obstructing the
line-of-sight between the camera and the receiver. Solid
objects, such as concrete and metal, may limit the
range of the wireless signal.
Extending Your Wireless Signal
Even with a clear line-of-sight between your camera(s)
and your receiver, 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.
