Wireless Installation Considerations
The PHYLINK wireless IP security camera lets you access your network using a wireless
connection from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network.
However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the
wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending
on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or
business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your adapter and other network
devices (such as your Network Camera) - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s
range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick
(.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick.
At a 2-degree angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position your devices so that
the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle)
for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may
weaken the wireless signal. Try to position your access points, wireless routers, and other
networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open doorways.
Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks),
mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters away from electrical devices or
appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such
as microwave ovens), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop
completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless
devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.
