Wireless Receiver & Camera 1 1 6 2 3 4 5 7 1 Wireless Antenna 2 Resolution button: Press to switch between VGA* and QVGA video resolutions. 3 Front LED: Glows green to indicate receiver is powered up. 4 Pairing Button: For details, see “Pairing Cameras” on page 8. 5 BNC Connector: Connect the BNC connector to the DVR or BNC extension cable. 6 Pairing Button: For details, see “Pairing Cameras” on page 8.
Connecting The Camera Connecting The Camera • Before you install the camera, carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that connects the camera 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.
Connecting The Camera 2 Twist the camera into the head of the stand (1). Adjust the angle of the camera until the desired view is set. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the desired camera position (2). 1 2 3 4 Connect the power cable from the camera to the Power Adapter. Plug the power adapter to an outlet or surge protector.
Connecting The Camera Wireless Receiver Setup To connect a wireless receiver to a surveillance recorder (DVR): 1 Connect the BNC connector on the receiver directly into an available video input. Make sure to first connect and power on the camera(s) before powering on the receiver; this will ensure a proper connection. NOTE: If necessary, attach the 3ft (1m) BNC/BNC extension cable at one end to the receiver and at the other end to the surveillance recorder.
Connecting The Camera 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.
Connecting The Camera Powering Multiple Receivers Using The Power Splitter Cable (LW2110PK2 only) The power splitter cable allows you to connect two receivers to one power adapter. To connect the power splitter cable to the receivers: 1 Connect the power adapter to the power splitter cable (see Figure A below). 2 Connect the ends of the power splitter cable to each of the receivers. 3 Connect the power adapter to a 120V power outlet.
Connecting The Camera Pairing Cameras IMPORTANT The camera and receiver have already been pre-paired at the factory, which means that they are exclusively communicating with each other. If for some reason the pairing is lost, follow these steps to pair up the camera and receiver. To pair the camera to the receiver: 1 Make sure that the camera and receiver are both powered up. 2 On the receiver, press and hold the Pairing button for 5 seconds to activate pairing function.

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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
