Help Wireless Cctv

Is it permitted to put a directional antenna on the 2.4Ghz transmitter? - I thought a yagi type directional aerial could only be

fitted to an associated receiver.

Yes, and certainly worth the effort.

Yes your correct.

By law you are only permitted to put a Yagi on the receiver.

By law you are only permitted to put a Yagi on the receiver.

Just to clear this up and to save confusion it's in 1.3 "Antenna Mounting" section of the instruction manual of a kit i just bought..>> http://www.radcon.com/pdfs/m_cct2440.pdf

The licence exempt units in the UK work on 1.394GHz (>500mW) and 2.4GHz (>10mW). The difference being that you may get further with 1.394 but 2.4 is a wider band which is more suitable for more than one camera and audio.

If you could use the external housing and mount outside the wall it would greatly improve your received signal and 150metres shouldn't be a problem if it's line of sight.

And don't forget that wireless CCTV is not 'secure'.

I was at a clients house recently and he showed me the DIY wireless cctv he had installed.

His neighbour had installed the same make, and by flicking a switch on the 4 chanel receiver he could view his neighbours garden (unknown to his neighbour).

Good job his neighbour hadn't fitted one in his bedroom!
