8. Installing the transmitting A300-antenna
In order to send the picture of the camera wirelessly with longest possible range, the transmitting and
receiving A300-antennas have to be placed on the outer walls of the barn and home, pointing towards
each other.
To attach the transmitting A300-antenna (10dBi) to the camera, unplug the power and bend the camera
forward. Remove the black camera antenna (2dBi) and replace it with the included 25 m antenna cable.
Lead the cable to the outside of the wall to where you have chosen to place the transmitting A300-
antenna (10dBi). Be careful to not break the wire inside the cable. The cable should be bent carefully
at a maximum of 90° and should not be pinched. Be extra careful with the cable when installing in cold
weather. Attach the A300-antenna to the wall you have chosen using the included tilt bracket. Screw the
antenna to the wall temporarily using only 1 or 2 screws. Slide the shrink tube on to the antenna cable
and leave it until the final step of the installation. Connect the antenna cable to the A300-antenna.
NOTICE! Do not heat the shrink tube as illustrated in step (c3) below. Since you need to check that you
obtain a satisfying signal before you shrink the tube it is very important that you perform this step at the
end of the installation process.
Step by step:
1. Unplug the camera power supply.
2. Remove the black camera antenna (2dBi).
3. Attach the antenna cable to the camera and
lead the cable to the wall on which you have
chosen to place the transmitting
A300-antenna (10dBi).
4. Screw the antenna to the wall temporarily
using only 1 or 2 screws.
5. Slide the shrink tube on to the antenna
cable, connect the antenna cable to the
A300-antenna.
NOTICE!
See remark about the shrink tube.
This step is done after you have made sure
that you receive interference-free picture
quality inside your house.
Information
Place the antenna as the illustration above shows you so you can obtain optimal picture
quality. The antenna shall point towards your home with the elements horizontally
against the ground.
Make sure there are no other objects such as a roof gutter or
a pipe close to the antenna, while it may affect the picture quality.
