Active Eye Sensor interferring with Wireless Floodcam
« on: April 10, 2005, 02:20:20 PM »

I have a wireless floodcam. Works great.
Then when an active eye motion sensor goes
off (its on a different setting), I loose
the camera picture on the TV - Screen
flickers and turns blue. It takes an hour or
better to get the picture back.
What am I doing wrong?

I had something similar when I first
installed a couple of motion sensors (I
already had a wireless camera).  The systems
seemed to dislike having adjacent channel
addresses (even allowing for and skipping the
"next-higher" address which is reserved for
dusk/dawn signals on my sensors).  I cured
the problem by widely separating the device
addresses, moving the camera control address
to ch-10 and setting the sensors to ch-2.
(however, 2 weeks later I have a new sensor
problem....I believe unrelated <grin>)

For anyone else with multiple cameras or
motion sensors:  All you have to do is keep
them in different groups.  The groups are 1-
4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16.  If your motion sensors
are not there to activate an xCams, then set
them and floodcam to separate groups.

The cameras and sensors are set up in case
you have a multiple camera system.  The
activation of one camera/sensor sends
the 'off' code for the other three so that
you don't get two video signals at once.
