Expand Wireless Coverage

Wireless connection is simple and convenient, but wireless is not everything! Because of the wireless characteristics, in some complex scenarios, there is a signal attenuation situation after passing through obstacles. By placing the antenna reasonably, using an antenna extension cable, auto repeater, and camera cascade, the four methods can bypass obstacles and extend the signal transmission distance.

Note:

1. The wireless repeater and repeater cannot enhance the signal strength of the wireless NVR kit, but can extend the distance of the signal relay or turn;
2. Only when the repeated and repeated cameras are properly placed can the purpose of increasing the wireless transmission distance be achieved;
3. Wireless repeater, repeater and 3m signal extension cord are three ways to increase the coverage of wireless signal, which can be selected and used according to the actual scenes;
4. Manual repeater settings need to ensure that the wireless connection is unblocked In order to ensure the success of the setup, it is recommended to determine the repeater
   the solution according to the actual use scenario, and place the camera near the NVR and set the repeater before installing the camera.

Reasonably adjust the antenna and optimize the signal radiation direction

As can be seen from the bar antenna gain chart as shown on the right, the signal coverage of the antenna is similar to an apple. The antenna is located in the center of the apple, and the signal around the antenna is strong. The upper and lower ends of the antenna are recessed, and the signal is weak.

According to the signal transmission characteristics of the antenna, in order to ensure the optimal image transmission effect of the wireless NVR Kit, it is required:

1. The antennas of the NVR and IPC should be placed in a high and open place, and not near the walls, metal, glass, and other obstacles, which will affect the signal’s outward divergence.
2. The antenna of the IPC should be placed in parallel with the NVR antenna as much as possible so that the respective maximum radiation direction angles are opposite to form maximum signal coverage, as shown in the figure below.

Use an antenna extension cord to reduce wall penetration and improve signal

Notes ： When a camera shows a weak signal due to wall blocking, you can remove the original antenna, replace the antenna extension cord and drill a hole in the wall to pass the antenna extent ion cord through the wall or bypass the wall, Just places it in a place where it has a strong signal!

Use the camera repeater or repeater reasonably to make the signal relay or turn to extend the wireless distance

The auto repeater is the cascading between cameras and cameras, and the wireless repeater is the cascading between cameras and repeaters. When the position between the camera and the camera cannot be cascaded in an actual scene, it is a good choice to place a sensorless repeater between the video recorder and the camera. (The packaged product does not include a wireless repeater)

• Description of repeater setting interface

The repeater supports both auto repeater and manual repeater. Right click mouse -Video management-Repeater settings, Enter the repeater settings interface. On this page, you can view the repeater and repeater topology diagrams, and set the repeater. In the interface, NVR indicates this wireless NVR, CHx-Auto indicates cameras that support auto repeater, CHx indicates cameras that support manual repeater only, x indicates camera channel number; RPx-Auto indicates repeater that supports wireless repeater, router indicates a repeater that only supports manually, and x indicates the serial number of the repeater. There is an “Auto repeater” switch in the upper right corner of the repeater setting interface. It is off by default and can be turned on by the user according to actual needs.

• Wireless repeater use

When the repeater and camera are on the repeater setting interface display “RPx-Auto” and “CHx-Auto” the repeater and camera support wireless repeater. The wireless repeater does not need to be set. If the camera CH1 is too far away to connect to the NVR, you only need to place a wireless repeater at a reasonable position between the camera and the recorder, as shown in the figure below:
