PRE INSTALLATION

Site Evaluation

Identify line-of-sight

Although wireless video transmission may seem like a viable option for a particular application at first
glance, there are many considerations. Is there a clear, unobstructed view between the camera and
receiver? Are there any other devices that may cause interference? Depending on the height of the
building, tower or structure, you must consider the path that the wireless video will travel between the
camera and receiver. Line-of–sight is defined as a clear and unobstructed view between the camera and
receiver.

Up & in the clear

To realize the optimum distance for your VideoComm Technologies wireless devices, “give them
some air”. A good rule of thumb is to mount the devices at least 15 to 20 feet above obstructions, like
the roof of a building, above the roofs of parked cars in a parking lot, or top of a fence line.

See Figure 2.
