WirelessInstallationConsiderations
WirelessIPcamerasallowyoutoaccessthenetworkinanywirelesscoveragearea
byusingawirelessconnection.However,thewirelesssignalisrequiredtopass
throughthewalls,ceilingsandotherobjects,thenumber,thickness,andposition
willlimititsscope.Usuallythechangeofcoverage,dependsonyourroomoroffice
typeofbuildingmaterialsandenvironmentalRF(radiofrequency)noise.Follow
thesebasicguidelinescanmaximizethewirelessrange:
1.TheWall,ceilingbetweentheroutersandothernetworkdevices(suchas
thenetworkCameras)minimizethenumber‐‐‐eachwallorceilingwillweaken
adapter3‐90feet(1‐30meters),wirelesstransmissionrange.
2.Pleasenotethestraight‐linedistancebetweenthedevices.A1.5feet(0.5
meters)wallwithangle45willreach3feet(1meter)thick.In2degreesangle,
thewallthicknesswillupto42feet(14meters).Placethedeviceintoplace
directlynobarriersinordertogetbetterreception.
3.Buildingmaterials.Themetaldoororaluminumskeletonwillweakenthe
wirelesssignal.Placingtheaccesspoints,wirelessroutersandothernetwork
equipmenttothesignalthroughthedrywalloropendoorways.Materialsand

4.TheproductwasplacedinapositionawayfromgeneratingtheRFnoiseof

5.Ifyouareusing2.4GHzcordlessphonesorotherradioemittingsourceequipment
(suchasmicrowaveovens),yourwirelessconnectionmayobviouslydeterioratedor
