When and why should I buy a wireless system??

It is sometime tempting to simply set up a wireless unit rather than running a wire. As a rule if the distance is within 100 to 150 ft and the two points of observation are connected, it is always best to use a wired system. Wireless is fantastic where it is unpractical to run wires but it will always be a better and clearer video if you can use wires. From tow vehicle to a trailer for example, spend the time to install a cable, the results will be better and you will be happier with the system in the long run.

The 2.4 GHz systems are as close to microwave on the frequency spectrum as the average consumer can get. Masonry and sheet metal will greatly reduce or stop the signal and should be considered when designing a system. An exception to the rule lies in the remote antenna extensions. WITH THE NEW ANTENNA EXTENSIONS THIS IS GREAT FOR TRAILER APPLICATIONS. Transmitters/receivers are both rated with the words "line of sight". This is an industry rating to gauge signal strength. The units DO NOT NEED a clear line of sight to operate. Simply, the strength and optimum distance is the basis for the rating. They will work out to the distances listed with no barriers. There are too many variables to give precise distances passing through different types of construction. The more the signal must penetrate, the less the distance you will achieve.

A new antenna is ready for sale that can be mounted to the monitor or the camera. It is a 25 foot extension cable. If your camera is behind structure or in a trailer, locate the antenna in a better line of sight position.

I have also found out by working with the systems that in the wireless system the lack of 12 volts is causing some people a lot of problems. Anything less then 12 volts will cause a distorted picture. Make sure you have 12 volts!! Some people are using scotch locks to make their connection. These connectors will cause you major problems. Throw them out at the very least do not use them on my system. The longer the run of wires the less voltage. There is line voltage drop. So please check your voltage at the end of the run before the camera. However the camera needs to be hooked up also for this test to be correct. Any questions just e-mail.

The wireless system is the most versatile system. All you need to do is pick up 12 volts DC from any source to power the camera. It can transmit up to 450 feet. It comes with a 7 inch screen. It can be used for calving, corn drying viewing, (making sure belts are not burning up), security or ETC.

Blue tooth interference. If you have blue tooth tech in your vehicle, truck, tractor please read this information on how this will cause problems with the wireless system.

How Blue tooth and Wi-Fi Interfere Wi-Fi and Blue tooth both occupy a section of the 2.4 GHz ISM band that is 83 MHz-wide. Blue tooth uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and is allowed to hop between 79 different 1 MHz-wide channels in this band. Wi-Fi uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) instead of FHSS. Its carrier does not hop or change frequency and remains centered on one channel that is 22 MHz-wide. While there is room for 11 overlapping channels in this 83 MHz-wide band, there is only room for three non-overlapping channels. Thus there can be no more than three different Wi-Fi networks operating in close proximity to one another. When a Blue tooth radio and a Wi-Fi radio are operating in the same area, the single 22 MHz-wide Wi-Fi channel occupies the same frequency space as 22 of the 79 Blue tooth channels which are 1 MHz wide. When a Blue tooth transmission occurs on a frequency that lies within the frequency space occupied by a simultaneous Wi-Fi transmission, some level of interference can occur, depending on the strength of each signal.

WHY WIRED SYSTEMS

IF YOU ARE ONLY GOING TO USE THE SYSTEM and need very clear images SUCH AS IN A TRAILER OR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT BUY WIRED. If you want to move the system just move the cables or buy more cables and just move the camera and monitor. The wired system will give you the most stable picture of the two systems. But you are tied to a cord or cords.

Both systems have their plus and minus points. I sell 2-1 wired systems over wireless. I have not had any of the systems returned because they have not worked for the application they were bought for after contacting me. I hope that has answered some of your questions.
