antennas are properly attached to both devices. Operating the ADW-200
without the antennas in place can cause damage to the unit, and may void your
warranty.

Overview
A Digital Wireless Monitoring Solution
The ADW-200 is a high quality yet cost effective digital wireless monitoring solution,
ideal for home or business use. Combining a robust and interference-free wireless
transmitter and receiver with a color camera with active infrared night vision, the
ADW-200 can be used as a complete monitoring solution or as a part of a larger
security solution, perhaps integrated with a DVR and alarm system.
Interference-free Digital Signal Transmission
Digital wireless technology is a huge step forward in wireless systems, which do
not suffer from interference in the same way as analog wireless systems.
This means that the ADW-200 system will deliver a picture from your cameras
which is free from distortion or noise. This is particularly useful in locations which
have a lot of other wireless systems operating.
Quick and Easy Setup
Get set up with the click of a couple of buttons. If you know how to plug in a DVD
player, you should have no problems getting the ADW-200 set up. However, this is
not to say that the ADW-200 has limited applications - you can connect it to a TV,
DVR or even directly to a PC.
Direct USB Connection to a PC
The ADW-200 receiver has a USB port which can easily be connected to a computer.
You can use the ADW-200 as a webcam, or use compatible recording software to
create a PC-based video recording setup.
Important Note - Range and Reception
The ADW-200 uses digital wireless technology which means that it doesn’t suffer
from interference in the same way as an analog wireless system. It is possible,
however, that a signal will “fade” before reaching the receiver. This typically
happens when the receiver is out of range of the camera, or there are significant
obstacles between the camera and receiver.
The range of the camera’s signal is approximately 20m/65ft, under typical conditions.
You should get a picture at this range if there are no significant obstacles between
camera and receiver, and there are no other wireless systems nearby operating on
a similar frequency. For maximum transmission range, the receiver should be in line
of sight of the camera.
A thick brick or concrete wall will dramatically reduce the range of the signal, often
by half or more. If you’re using the ADW-200 system in a cluttered environment
with other wireless devices nearby, you may find that the reliable range of
transmission is significantly reduced. In extreme cases, a wired system may be the
only practicable solution.
