I think this is a reciever but Im not sure. Its a black box and has the model number of RX244 on the front of it. Ojn the top of it,it has a round thing that you can turn,kinda of like an anntena. on the back left hand side ther are on/off switches 4 of them to be exact for security cameras. To the right there is a plug in that kid of looks like a s-viedo plug in but its not because above the plug it has the letters EXP. To the right of that are two RCA plugs ins, above the first one is the letter A(RCA color white) and above the second one is the letter V(RCA color yellow). On the right of the RCA plug in is the plug in for the power supply which is 12 volt power supply. Can you please tell me what this gadet is called and how I would use it with my survellance cameras please and thank you. My email is honneydo@msn.com
I believe I have the same box as Panelopy. However, on the top of the box, there is a flat, round antenna, I assume, that has Philips Magnavox written on it, along with an arrow. I am not sure what this box is either, but I think it may be a wireless camera receiver of some sort. I have tried to find information about this item, but it is difficult when I am limited to any information available on the box. I know it is a Philips Magnavox, and it has RX244 on the front panel.
It could possibly be a Voltec RX244 Camera Receiver operating at 2.4GHz. The A could be for the audio and the V for video. All I can gather is the it can switched up to 4 cameras. Other than that everything else would be conjecture on my part. Incidentally, there was also a Magnavox RX244.
This company might or might not be the main distributor. Additionally you can try visual comparison here.
From your post/description, it would also seem that the device/gadget could be reversed engineered and determine features, functions and operations. But that of course would require more than just basic familiarity with electronic components and circuitry.
Would it be possible for you to post pictures of the connectors and the inside PCB?
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.
