Connecting The Camera
Connecting The Camera
• Before you install the camera, carefully plan where and how it will be
positioned,andwhereyouwillroutethecablethatconnectsthecamera
to the power adapter.
• Before starting permanent installation, verify its performance by
observing the image on a monitor when camera is positioned in the
same location/position where it will be permanently installed.
Installation Warnings
• Aim the Cameras to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location
for the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to
monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong
light source or direct sunlight.
• Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick walls or
obstructions between the Cameras and the Receiver*.
• Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature
between 14°F~122°F (-10°C~50°C)
• For outdoor use, installation under a shelter is recommended.
*Avoid installing in a location which requires the wireless signal to pass through cement,
concrete, and metal structures. This will reduce the range of transmission.
Camera Setup
To install the camera:
1
Use the included mounting screws to mount the stand to the mounting surface:
• Mark the position of the screw holes on the wall
• Drill holes and insert the drywall plugs as needed
• Firmly attach the stand to the wall using the provided screws

Installing Multiple Wireless Cameras
When installing multiple digital wireless security cameras in the same environment (e.g.
LW2110PK2 - 2 pack wireless cameras) maintain as much space as possible between the
receivers using the included 3ft BNC extension cables, to optimize camera performance.
See illustrations below for examples of recommended 2 and 4 receiver installations.
Scenario A: Two Wireless Cameras
• Plug one receiver directly into the back of the Digital Video Recorder. Connect the other
receiver to the included 3ft BNC extension cable and plug into the Digital Video Recorder.
Scenario B: Four Wireless Cameras
• Plug one receiver directly into the back of the Digital Video Recorder. Connect the other
receivers to the included 3ft BNC extension cables and plug them into the Digital Video
Recorder.
It is not recommended to
install more than 4 digital
wireless security cameras
in the same environment to
maintain optimal video
frame rate performance.
NOTE: The receiver included does not support an extension to a range extender antenna.

Appendix B: About Digital Wireless Technology
Appendix B: About Digital Wireless Technology
The Digital Wireless signal transmission type used by the Lorex LW2110 is also known as
FHSS -Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. This type of signal results in a private,
interference-free signal.
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
vastly reduced. 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.

Appendix C: Facts About Digital Wireless Cameras
Appendix C: Facts About Digital Wireless Cameras
Wired VS Wireless Cameras
A wired camera has a video cable that transmits the video signal from the camera to a recording
or viewing device.
A wireless camera does not use a video cable. Instead, it wirelessly transmits the video signal to
a wireless receiver that is connected to your recording or viewing device. Although the typical
digital wireless camera is priced slightly higher than a wired camera, wireless cameras can
provide cost savings compared to standard wired setups. For example, wireless cameras do not
require cabling to be run between the camera and the viewing / recording device, which reduces
installation time and cost.
Does a wireless camera require power?
Yes. Wireless cameras require two power sources: one connected to the camera, and the other to
the receiver.
How far can a wireless camera transmit a video signal?
In an open field (with line of sight), a typical wireless camera has a range between 250 to 450 feet.
In a closed environment---such as an interior of a house---the wireless camera range is between
100 to 150 feet. The signal range varies depending on the type of building materials and/or objects
the wireless signal must pass through.
Cubical walls, drywall, glass, and windows generally do not degrade wireless signal strength.
Brick, concrete floors and walls degrade signal strength1. Trees that are in the line of sight of the
wireless camera and receiver may impact signal strength.
The signal range also depends on whether there are competing signals using the same frequency
as the camera. For example, signals from cordless phones, routers may affect signal strength.

Appendix C: Facts About Digital Wireless Cameras
Signal Reduction Through Materials
Signal strength decreases as it passes through different types of material. Try to position
your wireless camera and receiver in a location that does not pass through metal, or
concrete blocks, which can significantly reduce signal strength (as shown in the table
below).
Material
Signal Reduction (%)
10 - 30%
Plaster & Wood
Brick
30 - 50%
Concrete Cinder Blocks
Metal & Metal Cladding
50 - 70%
70 - 90%
NOTE: Signals that must pass through wet or moist materials
(i.e. shrubs and trees) may be significantly reduced.
The stronger the signal strength, the higher the video frame rate. The lower the signal
strength, the lower the video frame rate.

(low frame rate)
(high frame rate)
Are Digital Wireless Camera Signals Secure?
Yes. Lorex digital wireless products feature a wireless transmission method called FHSS
–Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum.
This type of signal is highly resistant to eavesdropping as it generates a channel hopping
sequence using an algorithm generated by the receiver, which only the camera can follow
through the "pairing" function. FHSS makes digital wireless signals secure, private, and
interference free.
How many frames per second should I expect from a digital wireless camera?
Current Lorex digital wireless cameras offer 10 - 30 FPS (Frames Per Second)
performance. Actual frame rate depends mainly on signal strength and resolution (see the
chart above). Most digital wireless cameras support one or both of the following
resolutions: QVGA, and VGA.
QVGA produces video at up to 30 FPS at 320x240 resolution.
VGA produces video at up to 10-12 FPS at 640x480 resolution.
How many wireless cameras can I install?
It is recommended to install a maximum of 4 (four) wireless cameras per system.

Appendix D: Troubleshooting
Appendix D: Troubleshooting
If you have problems with your System, there is often a quick and simple solution. Please
try the following:
Problem
Solution
There is no picture from a
camera
• Check power to the camera. Make sure the adapter
is plugged in properly.
• Move the camera closer to the receiver.
The picture is dropping
• Move the camera closer to the receiver.
• Try repositioning the camera, receiver, or both to
improve the reception.
The picture is or has
become choppy
•Thepicturemaybecomechoppywhenexperiencing
a lower frame rate (e.g. 6 frames per second vs. a
higher 12 frames per second).
• Try moving the camera closer to the receiver.
• Remove obstructions between the receiver and
camera.
• Try switching to QVGA mode. Resolution will be
reduced but video frame rate will increase.
The picture appears to be
unsharp
• When viewing on a large screen TV or monitor
(especially high-definition televisions), the picture
mightseemunsharpasthecameraislimitedtoVGA
resolution (640x480 pixels), while the TV or monitor
supports a much higher resolution.
• For best performance, use with TV/monitor PIP
(Picturein Picture)function. Check yourTV/Monitor
product manual to see if this feature is available on
your TV/Monitor.
The picture is white
• Common situation known as "washout" or "white
wash" where a strong light source is pointed at the
camera lens. The camera lens is not harmed during
a white wash.
• Do not point your camera towards a light source.
The picture is pixelated
• You may be in QVGA mode. Try switching to VGA
mode by pressing the Resolution button on the
receiver.

Appendix E: Frequently Asked Questions
Appendix E: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum distance I can have between the camera and the receiver?
A: Typically 450 feet (137 m) with a clear line of sight in open space, or approximately 150
feet (46 m) in a house. Walls, studs, furniture will interfere with the range of wireless
transmission.
Q: Why does my "wireless camera" have a power cable?
A: The term "wireless" refers to the lack of a video cable between the camera and the
receiver. The camera still requires a power source.
Q: What does 'line-of-sight' mean?
A: 'Line-of-sight' means that there are no obstructions between the camera and receiver.
Obstructions include walls, buildings, trees, and certain electronic devices. Materials
containing moisture (i.e wet leaves) may also act as an obstruction.
Q: What is pairing?
A: Pairing is an electronic handshake between digital wireless devices. Pairing allows the
devices to communicate exclusively with each other.
Q: Can digital wireless cameras be paired to more than one receiver?
A: No.Digital Wireless cameras can only be paired to one receiver. This is to prevent
interception by 3rd parties, and prevents any other device from picking up the signal - this
also means that you cannot pair one camera to multiple receivers.
Q: How can I extend the wireless range?

Appendix F: Extending Wireless Range
Appendix F: Extending Wireless Range
The receiver included with the LW2110 series does not support range extender antennas.
Should you require a wireless range extension, a range extender accessory kit is available.
Wireless range extension should be considered if you experience a low signal strength
(1 or 2 signal bars) due to an extended distance between the receiver and camera, or
because of objects preventing line of sight between the receiver and camera.
The range extender accessory kit includes a 20ft cable and a higher power indoor/outdoor
antenna which allows you to reposition the antenna outdoors for direct line of sight with
the camera OR simply to get around objects which are blocking the wireless signal (e.g.
metal walls). Find an example below of a typical situation in which a range extender kit is
used to achieve line of sight to improve signal strength.
Example 1: No line of sight
Example 2: Line of sight achieved through use of range extender
