You have three wireless cameras on at the same time on different channels or three on a different House Code?

I'm not a camera expert but I believe that you need to keep all your cameras on the same channel as the receiver.

GMBAL4: set all three cams to one housecode (same code for each) then set each to there own unit number eg. 1,2 & 3Check under the rubber plugs of each cam that they are all set to the same channel as on the bottom of the receiver. eg. a,b,c,or d

House Code as mentioned is the A-P dial on the power supply. The units are 1-16. Keep all of them in a group of four for the unit codes. Like 1-4;5-8;9-12 or 13-16. That way when one in the group is turned on the other three [if you had 4] would turn off. Only one camera can be on at a time. Also as mentioned all on the same channel A-D under the rubber plug and A-D on the receiver to match the cameras channel.
