    Chapter 9 - Installing the Video booster 9.3 Output power The HD Wireless Camera Adapter has an internal digital attenuator. It allows you to reduce RF output power to a value that is sufficient for your particular operating conditions. Maximum power is not always needed and it is good practice to reduce output power to the minimum required to reduce exposure and possible interaction between adjacent cameras.
