Before you begin

- Make sure that your cameras are within range of your WiFi network, and the upload speed is more than 1Mbps.
- Try to avoid WiFi signal interference from concrete, cement, and metal as much as possible. Do not place cameras in a location where these materials stand between your cameras and your WiFi router.
