Troubleshooting Tips and General Notes
1)
These access points can be used in conjunction with a switch on either side of the signal. Note the
bandwidth and resolution of your cameras. Each pair can typically support 6-8 1080p cameras through the
switch, but if you have image quality issues such as interference, dropped images, etc., try removing
cameras to see if the remaining signals improve.
2)
These units operate on 24V PoE. Most surveillance-focused PoE switches operate on 48V PoE. Please use
the 24V PoE injector included with the unit if you can’t confirm that your PoE switch provides 24V PoE.
3)
It is possible to daisy-chain pairs of antennas to extend range or get around a corner/over a hill/etc. The
dishes can be connected by utilizing the extra RJ-45 connections on the dish. Please note, however, that:
a.
You lose half your bandwidth each time you connect a pair
b.
You must use a 4-wire CAT-5 cable (vs. the standard 8-wire) to avoid accidental transmission of
additional PoE power between the antennas.
c.
Please consult a trained technician or call our tech support department if you are unsure how to
connect pairs of antennas.
4)
Be careful about having multiple dishes on the NVR side. If they are physically close to each
other and the frequencies are close together, then video meant for one dish can interfere with
the other dish. To safeguard this, make sure that the two dishes that are on the NVR side are
not both in the direction of the same camera dish. Also, make the frequencies as far apart as
possible on the two dishes by utilizing the DIP switch chart above.
5)
If connecting directly to an NVR, the access point should typically not be plugged directly into a camera
port unless there is just one camera being transmitted. If an antenna is sending the signal of multiple
cameras via a switch, the recorder side should be connected to the private networking port on an
NVR/Hybrid.
