• Reduce the number of obstructive
materials between the camera and the

metal and wood are the most common
materials in your house that can cause
poor signal strength.
• Other electronic devices such as
microwaves, TVs, cordless phones,
and baby monitors can cause signal
interference. It is recommended to install
the camera as far away from these
devices as possible.

mounting plate in position.
