2.4 GHZ Directional Wireless Panel Antenna
Use the 2.4GHz Directional Wireless Panel Antenna
(model #:
ACCANTD9
) to focus a
Directional Wireless Panel Antenna
wireless signal onto the
camera in order to increase the range of transmission
(clear line-of-sight between the camera and the antenna is
required). A 20ft extension cable is included to help to
properly position the antenna.
Scenario 1: Single Receiver Installation
Attach a directional antenna to the camera and/or the receiver. It is recommended to
attach the antenna to the receiver and place it in a location that has clear line-of-sight to
the camera. Ensure that the directional antenna is pointing toward the other antenna. For
example, if the directional antenna is connected to your receiver, the directional antenna
should point at the camera (see figure above). During the installation, check the reception
on your DVR.
Scenario 2: Multiple Camera / Receiver Installation
If you are using multiple wireless cameras and receivers in your installation, attach
directional antennas to the camera(s) and receiver(s) that are farthest away from each
other. Follow these guidelines to increase the signal strength between your cameras and
receivers:
• Point directional antennas towards the receiver for each camera.
• Keep as much space as possible between each receiver.
• Keep as much space as possible between directional antennas if using more than one.
• Minimize the amount of obstructions (e.g. walls or trees) between the antennas and receivers.
• During the installation, check the reception of each camera on your DVR.
