Introduction

The GuardCam-WF range of products are an ideal solution for the protection of external areas
around domestic or light commercial properties. Images are captured by wire free cctv cameras built
into pir controlled security lighting units and digitally transmitted to a choice of receivers with
integral SD card recording. GuardCam operates on a secure stable 2.4ghz frequency to provide
excellent ran
number of useful options. To obtain the most from your GuardCam-WF installation please read

through this manual carefully.

Getting the best from Wire free technology

Whilst employing the benefits of latest digital signal technology a number of key factors should be
remembered when siting both transmitter and receiver units. Think of the wire free signal travelling
as a straight line between transmitter and receiver –“ The line of transmission”.

The stated Open field range of 150M is exactly that , across an open field. Any line of transmission
obstruction will reduce the useful range.

When siting units consider minimising the number of walls, trees, doors, hills within landscaping or
other solid objects t

Avoid a line of transmission that follows the whole length of a wall rather than directly through it.
A small adjustment to the position of either transmitter or receiver can make a huge difference to
performance .

Avoid siting transmitter or receiver units in close proximity to other wire free equipment such as
routers, baby monitors or sources of electrical
cable etc.

Following these guidelines will achieve the best results from a given site. The construction method
of obstructions will create variance in results however a satisfactory system should be achieveable

Note. A transmitter can only be paired with one receiver at a time. It is not possible to pair a

single transmitter with two separate receivers.
