Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If you have problems with your System, there is often a quick and simple solution. Please try the following:
Problem Solution
Check all connections to the Camera. Make sure
the adapter is plugged in. There is no picture from a Camera.
There is Interference with the Camera Picture.
The picture is dropping
The Picture is or has become Choppy
There are problems with the Audio.
The Picture appears to be grainy
Make sure that the Cameras and Receiver are
both ON.
Make sure that the camera is in range of the
Receiver.
Make sure that each camera is within range, and
that there are no large obstructions or interference
Try repositioning the camera, receiver or both to
improve the reception.
Move the camera closer to the receiver.
Try repositioning the camera, receiver or both to
improve the reception.
The picture may become choppy when
experiencing a lower frame rate (i.e. 10 frames
per second vs. a higher 20 frames per second).
Try moving the camera closer to the receiver.
Remove obstructions between the Receiver and
Camera.
Ensure that the volume on the TV is ON
Make sure that there is sound within range of the
Camera Microphone
If the unit emits a loud screeching noise
(feedback), move the camera or receiver farther
apart.
Increase volume on wireless monitor/receiver*

Appendix B: About Digital Wireless Technology
Appendix B: About Digital Wireless Technology
The Digital Wireless signal transmission type used by the Lorex LW2201 series is also known as FHSS –
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. This type of signal is highly resistant to deliberate jamming as it
generates a channel hopping sequence using an algorithm generated by the receiver system.
The 2.4GHz (2.400-2.480Ghz) band is being divided into sections or paths of 2MHz per section, and each second the transmission signal hops hundreds of times in a specified sequence within this frequency range. The overall bandwidth required for frequency hopping is much wider then 2MHz however because transmission occurs only on a small section of this bandwidth at any given time, the signal being transmitted does not suffer from greatly reduced signal degradation and also avoids blocked paths other devices who act as sources of competing signals. The strength of the signal being transmitted is set to be from 13.5-16dBm, which is much higher then the analog transmission signal allowed by authorities around the Globe.
When an image is captured by the camera it is instantly converted from an analog to digital signal and packaged into small packets. With each successful transmission via the 2 MHz paths discussed above, the packets of information containing images are delivered to the receiver and decoded into analog information. The information can then be displayed on devices that are connected to the wireless receiver (RX).
A device pairing process is required to synchronize the transmitter (TX, Camera) and the receiver (RX). This allows the transmitter and receiver to be on the same frequency and use the same algorithm for frequency hopping. This ensures that only the paired transmitter and receiver can maintain communication signal by hopping to the same frequency paths at the exact same time. As a result, the chance that other devices within the same frequency range are on the same frequency, at the same time and in the same order is extremely unlikely. Note that the pairing process is already done at the factory for products that ship within the same packaging. Only when add-on devices are purchased is a pairing process required.
