Mounting The Cameras - Night Owl WNIP2 Series User Manual

Chapter 5: Mounting the Cameras
Camera distance from Wi-Fi NVR.
Your Wi-Fi IP cameras will reach up to 300 ft. wirelessly. Therefore, proper placement of the Wi-Fi
NVR in your home will help ensure you achieve maximum coverage.
Do NOT place near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference.
Electrical interference will degrade the quality of the signal.
When your wireless signal is transmitted through various materials, such as walls and windows,
the signal strength is affected. Though the Wi-Fi NVR and Wi-Fi IP 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 chart below to see which obstacles highly affect your signal and which do not.
Place camera out of reach to avoid vandalism.
Avoid direct exposure to weather.
Do not place the camera where rain or snow will hit the lens directly nor should the camera be placed
so that the sun or bright light shines directly into the lens. Your camera is weatherproof, but it will not
work when submerged in water. Ensure that all power and video connections are not directly exposed
to water and are protected from the elements.
Mounting surface.
The mounting surface must hold at least four times the camera's total weight.
to ensure that all components function properly.
