Best placement of cameras in their final location
The NVR’s signal coverage is circular with the NVR’s antennas in the center. Signal
is strongest around the combined NVR antennas and weak in the area immediately
between the 2 antennas. For best signal reception the cameras should be placed
around the NVR and as close to the same horizontal plane as the location of the
NVR. The camera antennas should be vertical or perpendicular to the orientation of
the antennas on the NVR.
