Omni AntennasSO-1

M0-1

• Our standard 2.4 GHz antennas come with a magnetic base
• They will not come lose in any wind or weather conditions
• They can also be permanently mounted by drilling a hole in the base
• Standard equipment with our wireless trailer camera system
• The standard 2.4 GHz antenna is rated at 5 dBi
• Optional omni antennas are rated at 7 dBi and 9 dBi
• A separate magnetic base must be purchased for the 7 and 9 dBi antennas
• S0-1 panel antenna is used for stronger distance reception. S0-1 is rated at 8 dBi
• M0-1 panel antenna is for greatly enhanced distance and for getting through obstacles and is 12 dBi

Our standard antennas are adequate in nearly all situations.  The 7 and 9 dBi antennas are more powerful and can be used in situations where there are barriers such as foliage between the transmitting and receiving sites or when more power is desired for long distances.  The omni antennas are readily identifiable by their single mast.  These antennas send a signal out in all directions and are an excellent choice for multiple receiver sites.  If you use a receiver in your home and another in a barn the omni antennas send a signal to both locations. All of our antennas can be used for transmitting or receiving.  Although typically used on the transmission end, they can be used with the receiver as well.  In some cases if may be necessary to purchase an antenna cable in order to place the antenna in a clear broadcast position.

Panel Antennas

Our panel antennas are suitable for indoor or outdoor use and extend the range and strength of your signal and reception.  When used with the transmitter, panel antennas focus the signal in the direction you choose.  The mast antennas above are omni-directional antennas which send the signal in all directions.  Panel antennas concentrate the signal rather than dispersing it in all directions.  The S0-1 antenna is particularly useful when used with a receiver and is part of the LD-2.4 Long system.  The M0-1 antenna is also part of the LD-2.4 Long system and is an excellent choice for long distances or where there are obstacles between the transmitter and receiver.  Heavy tree and brush growth can absorb a lot of the signal making the M0-1 antenna shine with its ability to blast the signal through.  The M0-1 can be mounted on a wall, tree, roof while the most common method is on a metal or PVC pipe or fence post.  The M0-1 antenna has an N type connector and if you wish to use it with an existing cable with SMA connectors, you will need an adapter.  Our SMA to N type cable allows direct use of the this antenna with our transmitters.
