How Obstacles Affect Your Signal Strength
When your wireless signal is transmitted through various materials, such
as walls and windows, the signal strength is affected. Though the NVR
and wireless camera may be very close in proximity, you could still notice
high signal interference if the signal passes through certain obstacles. For
instance, if the signal passes through a concrete wall it will be severely
weakened. Please reference the below chart to see which obstacles highly
affect your signal and which do not.
Concrete Wall
Brick Wall
Glass with
Metal
Cinderblock
Dry Wall
Wood Door
Glass Window
Mirror
NOTE:
If your setup requires the signal to be transmitted through an obstacle that
severely weakens it, you can use the 9 ft. Wi-Fi Extender Antenna included with
your system. The Extender Antenna can be used to bypass the obstacle weakening
the signal. Simply replace the white Camera Antenna with the Extender Antenna
and then mount the Extender Antenna on the opposing side of the obstacle.
Powering the NVR and Wireless Cameras
Your Wireless NVR must be powered on
using the NVR power adapter. Similarly,
each wireless camera must be powered
with a camera power adapter. Though
these cameras wirelessly transmit video
to the NVR, they are not battery powered,
and must therefore be powered via the
included adapters. Each camera within
your system will come equipped with its'
own camera power adapter.
