Extend WiFi Range
Wireless connection is easy and convenient, but it’s not a universal application. Because of the character of WIFi, the wifi signal will be decreased when going through some obstacles. Some methods can be applied to bypass obstacles and extend Wifi range.
Position the Antenna Correctly
Wifi range is like an apple and the antenna of NVR is in the center of it. Wifi signal is strong all around the WiFi range. The antenna of the NVR should be put straight up, if not, the WiFi signal will be weak. According to the signal transmission character of antenna, the antenna of cameras should overlap or parallel to the NVR WiIFi range, as the pictures shown below
Use Antenna Extension Cord to prolong WIFI distance
Method of installing the antenna extension cord.
Repeater Setup
Repeater function can’t strengthen V/iFi signal for wireless NVR kit, but can extend the distance by repeaters-WiFi cameras. Only when the repeater cameras and repeated cameras are positioned correcty, WiFi distance will be extended. Repeater function and 3 meters antenna extension cord are two methods to extend WIFi range. Users can choose one according to real situation.
Step 1: Access the Repeater Setting
Right-click the mouse to select the “Video Manage”, then click Repeater
Step 2: Set up Repeater
Firstly click the button ” behind the CH2, then add the CH3, finally click “Apply’ to save the settings (t will take about 1 minute)
As the picture shown above, when the IPCAM3 is placed at somewhere that is out of NVR wifñi range, and the IPCAM2 in between ith strong WiFI Signal, users can put the IPCAM3 close to the NVR and plug it into power supply, setup repeater for the IPCAM3 through the IPCAM2, and then instal the IPCAM3 to the presupposed place.
Step 3: Delete the repeater
- Move the mouse to the CHx (x is the channel number)which is required to be deleted, left-click the mouse to delete, and then click ‘Apply and “OK.
- You can configure a repeater only when the transmission distance needs to be increased
- As the coverage of the NVA wireless system can meet most of the situations, it’s suggested that do not configure the repeater blindly.
- Repeater configuration can not enhance the signal of the cameras, it’s just to extend the distance by the relay vay.
- Only when the cameras be placed reasonably.t can achieve distance extension( The most effective way is to put the cameras and the NVR in the same line)
