Selection Guide

Our equipment can be utilized in a wide range of applications and configurations including complex systems which require multiple fixed and PTZ cameras at various distances. Our systems are compatible with all major cameras and PTZ drivers.

Factors to consider when specifying the correct wireless video equipment are the presence or possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, quantity of fixed vs. PTZ cameras, and line-of-sight range requirements.

RF Interference:
If your installation is in a metropolitan or industrial area, particularly around airports or communication centers, it is highly recommended that you conduct a site survey. The 2.4 GHz ISM band utilized by the Eagle PLUS may be occupied by another radio device in the immediate area. If this is the case, one of our 5.8 GHz systems is highly recommmended since the 5.8 GHz ISM band is used less than 2.4 GHz.

Quantity of Fixed vs. PTZ Cameras:
If your installation requires the control of remote PTZ cameras, each camera will require two sets of Trango transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) pairs. One TX/RX pair is required to send video back to the control point, and the other is required to send control data to the camera.

Any of our analog products can be used to control the camera, provided it operates on a standard protocol of either RS-232, 422, or 485. Please note that in order to use the Eagle PLUS or Falcon PLUS to send RS-422/485 commands, the add-on module LC485/422 is required.

PTZ control systems can be set up as either point-to-point (where each receiver receives commands from a separate transmitter) or as point-to-multipoint (where multiple receivers receive commands from a single transmitter). Point-to-multipoint configurations require the use of an omni-directional antenna on the transmitter.
