Wireless Transmitters & Receivers FAQs

Wireless transmitters and receivers are essential components in a wireless surveillance system. The transmitter captures the video signal from the camera and sends it wirelessly to a receiver. This receiver processes and displays the signal on a monitor or records it for future viewing. Using this technology enables flexible installation without extensive cabling. Whether it’s new audio or video equipment or remote lighting setups, these devices make it easy to set up gear and accessories for live and online monitoring.
It works by converting the analog video signal from the camera into a radio frequency (RF) signal, which is transmitted through the air. The receiver then picks up this RF signal and decodes it back into a usable video format. Most modern systems, whether it's for audio equipment or security, operate on frequencies like 433MHz, 2.4GHz, or 5GHz, providing reliable connection options over various distances.
The range of transmitters and receivers varies based on frequency, environment, and potential signal interference from obstacles. Generally, the range can extend from a few metres to several hundred metres in open areas. However, walls and other obstructions may reduce this range. When choosing wireless security gear, considering specific environmental factors is essential for optimal performance.
Not all cameras are compatible with every wireless transmitter. It's vital to ensure that they have compatible video formats and frequencies. Certain wireless systems are designed for specific brands or model - speak to our expert team and we can assist you in making the right equipment choice.
