• Place the camera as close to your Wi-Fi router or access point as possible.
• Reduce the number of obstructive materials between the camera and
the router or access point. Concrete, brick, metal and wood are the most
common materials in your house that can cause poor signal strength.
To ensure the best possible wireless performance, it is
recommended to keep the following installation tips in mind when
choosing a location for the camera:
• The camera uses the 2.4GHz band exclusively. Most new routers support
both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It is recommended to use other Wi-Fi
devices on the 5GHz band when possible to ensure the 2.4GHz band is not
overcrowded.
• 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.
• Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (i.e.,
tree branches).
• Install the camera where vandals cannot easily reach.
• This camera is rated for outdoor use. Installation in a sheltered location
is recommended.
