Section 1: Product Overview
Wireless Installation Considerations
This D-Link device can connect to your wireless network from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network.
However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through,
may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in
your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your router and other network devices (such as your camera) - each
wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears
to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position your devices so
that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless signal.Try to position
your access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets,
brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless
connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your
wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.

Mount the Camera
2. Place the camera base where you want to position the camera and
use a pencil to mark the holes.
3. Depending on the material of the wall or ceiling, use proper tools to
drill four holes 25mm deep with a 6mm drill bit where you marked.
If the wall is made out of concrete, drill the holes rst, then insert the
plastic anchors to support the screws.
