Troubleshooting your Night Hawk Camera
Poor Picture: Realign antennas until image quality improves, slightly adjust the position of the Night Hawk
Camera or Receiver. Change the location of the Camera, or use a different Camera in the location
experiencing interference that is on a different channel. In some cases interference may be caused by
another device on a similar frequency to the channel you are using. Change to one of the other channels
and check the signal quality again.
Lines only - no clear picture: Check to confirm there is no microwave oven or other 2.4GHz
equipment operating close by ie; Cordless Telephones, Wireless Baby Monitors, Wireless LAN
equipment etc. Make sure the Receiver is on the correct channel for the particular camera.
Picture ghosting or interference: Some home appliances such as Wireless LANs, 2.4GHz portable
telephones and Microwave ovens operate on or near the 2.4GHz frequency. If you receive interference
from such an appliance, try moving the Camera or Receiver to location further away from the appliance
or in the event of interference from a Wireless LAN device,
try changing the Wireless LAN to a different channel to improve the signal quality.
No picture : check the receiver to confirm it is turned ON and make sure the A/V connection of the
Receiver is not plugged into the Audio Out socket. Make sure the Receiver is on the correct channel.
Check to ensure the camera is plugged in and has power (cup your hands around the camera and you
should see a faint red glow from the IR LEDs). Check that the channel on the receiver is the set to the
same as the camera you wish to view.
