Hello all, Found this forum doing some research online. Glad to be here, looks like a great place!! I have just installed a simple system with 2 cameras that are located in a truck yard. Because I could not get cable to them for video I figured I could use the simple 2.4GHz TX/Rx systems. Of course as you already know these are not quite that simple. Does anyone have and tips for maximizing reception. Im getting a little bit of static on the screen. Its only about a 100ft LOS from TX to RX and I seperated the transmitters by 150 ft so they didnt kill each other. I am using the standard "rubber duck" andtennas that came with them.

All thats going to do is send a bigger signal to the rest of the neighborhood. I have 1/2 watt transmitters, and all they have to go it 120 feet.

Correct As in CAM<======120ft coax======>TRANSMITTER w/antenna <--100ft LOS--> RECIEVER Any good ideas to shield the rubber duck antennas from other 2.4 interference? Im just trying to wrap this project up already..... Any sorft of metal housing to block RF from other directions??!

Those look great, and good pricing! They are outside in 2 locations, I ran about 100ft of coax off each one to the TX right to the fence line closest to the building. That way I only have about 120 feet of LOS transmition. I was trying to get a good signal, guess that didnt work as planned. Ill get a picture and post it.

The transmitters are addressable 1-4. I used channels 2 and 4. I will try 1 and 4. I also tried disconnecting one of the transmitters and still got some minor interferance, so im not sure its the transmitters beating each other up. I will try to get some panel 2.4 ghz antennas, but my dealer (Eclipse) has been sold out/backordered for 2 months so far....
