Site Survey (LAN)
The Praetorian Guard is designed to transmit the video and audio stream using on average
400 KBit/sec (peaking to 1Mbps). This loosely translates to requiring a minimum of 1.5Mbps
UPLOAD speed on the network that the intercom is connected to. The higher the upload
speed the better quality of image up to an approx. max of 4Mbps upload speed.
If you do not have sufficient upload speed then please look at upgrading your internet package,
if possible.
Cable Distance
My cable run does not exceed 100m in total
distance. If it does then a powered switch is
required to be fitted in-line to extend the signal.
Upload Speed
I have at least 1.5 Mb UPLOAD speed. If not
STOP! This system may operate intermittently
remotely or have delayed PUSH notifications.

Please consult someone with network knowledge if you need help with these steps.

WIFI Signal
I have some WiFi signal at the gate with my
phone! If not, STOP. You will need some form
of WiFi extender, or repeater, or LAN/CAT5
cable!
Upload Speed
I have at least 1.5 Mb UPLOAD speed. If not
STOP! This system may operate intermittently
remotely or have delayed PUSH notifications.
YES!
My WiFi Internet Security is WPA, WPA2,
WPA3 or better.
Total distance of WiFi range will depend heavily on the property network setup.
Max distance is 60m based on using a basic home router passing through 1
exterior wall. For the most reliable connection utilize the LAN or 4G Router options.
WiFi Signal Explained
Poor = System may not show ONLINE. Signal may drop out regularly or cause
delay’s on the video loading or stop notifications receiving from being sent.
Fair = System will operate as expected in most instances. Signal may drop out from
time to time or cause delay’s on the video loading or stop notifications receiving
from being sent.
Good / Excellent = System will operate as expected in all instances. Signal should
never drop or cause delay’s on the video loading
Please consult someone with network knowledge if you need help with these steps.

Do not install the intercom. Power it up beside
the router so that you can perform the
configuration with the homeowners’ phone
beside the intercom and router.
Note: If you skip this step and proceed directly to
installation, technical support may request you
go back and perform this step before diagnosing
further.
3-4 feet / 1 metre
Search for Praetorian Guard and find the icon, or
scan the QR code if the phone has a QR scan app.
Note: Be sure to accept ALL permissions during
install, otherwise you will experience problems later!
Please ensure you check the app
for updates at least once a month.
Tip: Slight differences will be seen
between the Android and iOS app
versions, any major differences will be
highlighted in the screenshots below.
