It requires a mains power point within 2 metres of the camera and receiver to plug in the power adaptors that they require to function. The Night Hawk receiver uses an AV cable to transfer the video signal received from the Night Hawk camera to your TV or VCR with AV connections so must be located near your TV or VCR. 2.Q : What is the wireless range of the Mobile Viewer? A : The Mobile Viewer is a receiver and as such relies on the transmission power of the Camera for range capability. In testing the Mobile Viewer was found to have excellent reception capabilities comparable with many receivers fitted with external antennas. 3.Q : How do I connect the Night Hawk to my TV/VCR? A : The Night Hawk receiver comes with an AV cable which plugs into the Video In and Audio In connectors on your TV or VCR. These plugs are commonly referred to as RCA plugs and are similar to the connectors used by Game Consoles and DVD players. If you plug your Night Hawk receiver into your VCR so that you can record the footage, you will need to select the channel on your TV that you normally use to view video movies from your VCR. If you plug your Night Hawk receiver directly into your TV, you can view the images on the appropriate AV channel, but you will not be able to record the images. 4.Q : What is the maximum Wireless Transmission Distance of the Night Hawk camera? A : Outdoors - For open line of sight without obstruction approximately 100 metres. Indoors - Due to the many variables in building construction and other causes of interference the useful range can vary but is usually around 30 metres. 5.Q : How far can the Night Hawk see at night? A : The Infra-red LEDs can project IR light that is invisible to the human eye but can be seen by the Night Hawk camera to a distance of approximately 5 metres, but with a small amount of ambient light such as street lighting and house lighting this can extend to as much as 10 metres. 6.Q : Can I add extra cameras to the Pack? A : Yes, the Night Hawk Camera can be set to any of 4 channels and the receiver has 4 channels also. The receiver can be set to switch through all 4 channels in sequence. Swann recommend a maximum of 3 cameras for optimum reception quality but 4 cameras can be set up successfully with careful camera placement. 7.Q : Can other devices interfere with the Night Hawk’s wireless transmission? A : Yes, some common causes of interference are Wireless LAN equipment, Cordless 2.4Ghz Telephones and Microwave Ovens (while they are actually cooking). The Night Hawk has 4 switchable channels to allow you to change to a channel that is further away from the interference source to minimise the potential for interference.   1.Q : What is the maximum Wireless Transmission Distance of the Black Knight camera?
