WIRELESS MODELS: 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 transmitter 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 transmitter and receiver.
Line-of-Sight is defined as a clear and unobstructed view between the transmitter 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 such as the roof of a building, above parked cars in a parking lot or the top of a fence line.
See Figure 2.
Ground Plane
If the radio devices are not mounted high enough above obstructions, the signal strength will be seriously reduced; therefore your distance will be reduced. The signal will literately bounce up and away from your intended target. This is known as a negative ground plane effect. The ground plane could not only be the ground you stand on, but could also be the rooftops of cars or distant buildings. See Figure 3. If we have a choice, place the transmitter/receiver enclosures or external antenna on the edge of the roof looking AWAY from the building. Installing the device in the middle of the roof may cause decreased range. See Figure 4.
This is particularly important if we have a metal roof that tends to deflect signals away from the target. Also consider any obstruction that may get in the way, like another roof or a tractor-trailer that may pass through your “Line-of-Sight”.
Trees Grow!
If we install the video link in the winter, the leaves that come out in spring may eliminate your wireless link.
Are you trying to transmit through trees? Then you will need to seriously consider how much range will be lost. A field test is always the best way to find out. Speak to a VideoComm Technologies Technical support representative for a possible solution.
Unusual Traffic
Watch out for unusual traffic in your transmission path. For example, a dump truck with the back elevated while dumping a load can be much taller than expected. Tractor-trailers or other large vehicles may be a factor if trying to transmit over a highway. Metal obstructions between the antennas cannot be ignored including electrical transmission lines that may not be obvious in the distance. Each high voltage wire crossing your path can be the equivalent of transmitting past an eight-foot thick steel pipe.

Both the Camera and Receiver must be set to the same channel
Step # 3 - Place the cap back on the rear camera housing and tighten using a Coin or
Flathead screwdriver.
Failure to do so may result in water damage and void the warranty. For assistance, contact Technical
Support (905) 336-9665 or [email protected]
To Adjust the Camera Focus & Zoom, loosen the two adjustment knobs located on the back of the camera using the included Mini Philips Screw Driver.
After making your adjustments, tighten both adjustment knobs using the included Mini Philips Screw Driver to ensure a water tight seal.

INSTALLATION
Antenna & Power Connection
Wireless Models Only: Antenna Connection
Carefully thread the antenna onto the connector on the back side of the camera. Do Not use a wrench or a tool – Hand Tighten ONLY.
For best transmitting pattern – Ensure the antenna is pointing “UP”
All Models: Power Connection
Only use the power supply included with this camera to ensure proper voltage and amperage.
There are THREE power indicator LEDS located next to the
Frequency Channel Selection Rotary Switch.
Take note of the power indicator LEDS to ensure proper Voltage
Red
LED means the Voltage is too low – Check your cable length and wiring
Green & Red
means you have the Correct Voltage
Green
means the Voltage is too high. Ensure the use of included power supply Model # PS-121A
Universal Mounting Bracket Overview
All camera models have the ability to mount in almost any scenario – including wall & desktop mounting. We suggest using proper counter-sink plugs when mounting the bracket to any surface and ensure proper support. For best results, use the included Mounting
Bracket Template to mark the location for your counter-sink plugs & screws. Once the universal 3-Axis bracket is mounted, almost any camera angle can be achieved.
