    I wonder if anyone else has had this problem I installed a new wireless Camera in my shed facing the back of my house it operates on 2.4 channel 4 and it seems to interfere with my wifi broadband. The signal goes down on my laptop when its on. I am using channels 1,2 & 3 for two video senders and another Camera without noticeable interference.

    I have seen it regularly. Thats why we don't use cheap wireless CCTV. Using it on different channels is the only solution .

    broadband uses 2.4 aswell ch 4 frequency must be closest to the 2.4 used by your b/b

    Adjacent wi-fi channels actually overlap - Use Channel 1, 6 or 13. They are the only channels that do not overlap each other.

    I'd need to see a diagram on how you have it set up to be certain. But Generally unless the cameras are using the same Wireless router that also supplies wireless the Laptop (ie all one the same network) they should be on channels as far apart as possible. This is because adjacent Wi-fi channels interfere with each other.

    The wireless camera's and senders I have are bog standard ones on the 2.4mhz band with only 4 channel selector switching on them. I intend to get a 5.8 TV sender soon as the older 2.4 ones are prone to interference from microwaves and internet signals. I presume all modems work on the same freq mine is a new vodafone one and seems to be the same as my old Zyxel modem.
