75-85 – Very Good:
No additional actions are required to increase signal strength. It is
not recommended to increase video resolution settings.
65-75 – Good:
We recommend using a Wi-Fi repeater or powerline adapter to
increase signal strength. Alternatively, video resolutions settings
may be reduced to minimize poor video quality.
Below 65 – Poor:
We do not recommend using a camera with a signal strength
below 65. Video streams are not likely to work below this level. A
Wi-Fi repeater or powerline adapter should be used to increase
signal strength.
2. Add cameras to a Wi-Fi network
RECOMMENDED METHOD
(use a temporary Wi-Fi connection for setup)
Note
: We highly recommended using a dedicated router for all
TruVision installations that include cameras for the following
reasons:
To avoid service calls from homeowners as a result of
changing their Wi-Fi password.
To maintain privacy of the homeowner’s Wi-Fi network
password.
To reduce the risk of local communication issues between the
router and cameras.
Note
: While the steps below are followed, the camera cannot be
accessed by users other than the user performing the setup.
1. Apply power to the camera.
Note:
It may take up to two minutes for the camera to boot up.
2. Note the model and serial numbers on the camera.
3. Find the camera in the list of wireless networks available to the
device being used for setup and initiate connection.
4. Enter the camera’s serial number as the security
key/password.
5. Log in to the browser interface (see “Browser requirements”
on page 13) using the default settings:
