IMPORTANT:
For Wi-Fi IP cameras, the cameras can be up to 300 ft. from the
recorder with clear line of sight.

Distance:
The further the camera is from the recorder, the higher the chances
of signal degradation. Locate the camera’s power supply as close to the camera
as possible when the distance exceeds 200 ft. as the power level will drop over
extended distances, resulting in video degradation.

When your wireless signal is transmitted through various materials, such

DVR 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

Electrical Interference:
Do NOT place the cameras near high voltage wires or
other sources of electrical interference. Electrical interference degrades the quality
of the signal.

Avoid direct exposure to weather. Do not place the camera
where rain or snow will hit the lens directly. Do not place the camera 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.
