Profile:

Receiver is four channel selectable (with a tiny onboard dipswitch) and is designed for use with our mating #THX-2400 series transmitters.

2.4 GHz (or 2,400 MHz) can be a great frequency to use in conditions where there is no other 2.4GHz equipment operating in close relative proximity to either transmitter or receiver- or anywhere in between. Alternate 2.4GHz frequency equipment (which may include wireless LAN computer networking, 2.4 gig cordless telephones, alternate video transmission, operating microwave ovens and other sources) may cause and/ or receive some sort of interference in one or all devices present, depending on output power(s) and other variables.

High-quality FM wireless video is amazing and may work very well for a given user application. However, it is certainly not 'magic'. Choosing the best frequency/ RF power and the most appropriate antenna(s) for the given application will greatly improve user's odds for desired success. A careful analysis of all known factors and a preparedness for certain types of potential problems which can never be fully realized until initial site trial and potential re-orientation of a system. Please read more on our wireless FAQ page.

We carry ONLY wireless equipment manufactured with quality-engineered onboard surface mount board + processor components (critical to produce a high quality wireless video unit). Too many in our industry are making false and exaggerated claims about their inferior products and about wireless video technology in general. You never have or will find such products or erroneous information on our site.

Common Applications:

•Mobile and fixed location portable surveillance monitoring
•General CCTV video and security purposes where installing hardwired connection is not feasible or possible
•Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and R/C (radio controlled) vehicle applications including robotics
•Realtime monitoring of children, elderly and disabled people
•Limited range search & rescue and canine operations

Available Options:

External omni-directional transmitter antenna included FREE (SMA type threaded post) for direct interface to unit.

Fully regulated #PWR-500R AC/DC transformer (wall plug-in for constant use) and 8xAA #BAT-1 battery pack included FREE with each #RX-2400 ordered.

Our #ANT-24M magnetic mount + low-loss extension cable (with SMA plug) allows user to stretch antenna distance away from a transmitter or receiver, such as outside a building or to the rooftop of a vehicle. Elevated #ANT-24M antenna(s) can facilitate a much better LOS line of sight condition between transmitter and receiver in crowded rooms, etc., which often results in better range and performance.

Our #ANT-2412 and #ANT-2418 flat panel antennas are excellent for point-to-point fixed locations outside building(s). They are much lower in physical profile than Yagi or parabolic dish types, and have a wider angle reception ability. *Requires available N-SMA type cable for direct interface.

Our #ANT-Y24 high gain Yagi antenna allows user to MAXIMIZE range in LOS conditions by concentrating radio signal into a narrow, directional beam. *Requires available N-SMA type cable for direct interface.

*External high gain antennas #ANT-2412/18, #ANT-Y24 feature "N" type post jacks. TO interface directly with most of our transmitters or receivers (which feature SMA type post), you must use the proper "N-SMA" type cable. We carry 2 versions (3 ft. #N-SMA3 and 10 ft. #N-SMA10) which are LMR-195 (low signal loss) cables suitable for both 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz antenna applications.

Please contact us for additional 2.4 GHz antenna solutions including a longer 13dB Yagi and a parabolic grid dish, as well as amplified flat panel antennas.

Variations / Alternate Equipment to Consider:

We also carry the #MRX-2400 integrated receiver + 5.6" color LCD TFT viewing screen.

Cautions:

This is a non-weatherproof receiver, and as such- must be treated with extra care and NEVER left outdoors without the proper protective housings.

Because this unit has no built-in 'reverse polarity protection' circuitry, it MUST be powered PROPERLY and ONLY with available CD3 Video Security power accessories to guarantee SAFE operation. Using improper 'reverse power' (i.e. a power supply with center pin negative polarity) WILL DESTROY THIS UNIT. Unregulated transformers marked at "12 volts DC" are more likely producing 18-30 volts, as seen when tested with a simple DC volt meter. While over-voltage of electronic circuitry may allow operation, but may also be greatly decreasing device longevity by "over-driving" and likely overheating that circuitry, which may even result in immediate damage. Please consult our power FAQ page for more information.

Reception range and quality of wireless performance is based on a number of factors which can generally be determined only after actual testing has been made. Please consult our wireless FAQ page for MUCH more information on this subject.

This type of wireless equipment is typically more suited for CCTV camera and security applications, rather than with consumer entertainment-type devices.
