4.1 Network Camera Installation
High performance for wireless communication
Radio waves from the antenna of Network Camera transmit images. The
performance of wireless communication will change under the condition where
you install Network Camera and wireless router.Wireless windowon page 32
displays the data communication and signal strength status of the wireless
network.
Notes
 Install Network Camera away from electrical appliances such as TVs or
cordless telephones.
 Metal or steel framework, such as refrigerators, can hinder radio
communications. Open areas offer better performance.
 Microwave ovens and some cordless telephones may interfere with wireless
frequencies this Network Camera uses. For better results, install as far away
from these devices as possible.
 Many wireless devices on the same channel reduce the speed of
communications. Set 5 channels apart to prevent the bandwidth from
overlapping. If another wireless network use Channel 6, you may use Channel
1 or 11.
 For maximum wireless performance, the distance between Network Camera
and wireless router should be 0.5—120 m (about 2—400 feet). These
distances may be reduced depending on the capability of the wireless router
or the wireless network conditions.
 Do not put excessive weight or pressure on the antenna as it can be damaged.
