7 Extend WiFi Range

Because of the character of WIFI, the WIFI signal will weaken when going through the wall, stairs, and other obstacles. We can use some methods to bypass obstacles and extend WIFI range.

Position the Antenna Correctly

WIFI range is like an apple, and the antenna of the NVR is in the center of it. WIFI signal is strong all around the WIFI range. The antenna of the NVR should be put straight up; if not, the WIFI signal will be weak. According to the signal transmission character of the antenna, the antennas of the cameras should overlap or be parallel to the NVR WIFI range, as pictures showed below.

Diagram Description: Two diagrams illustrate antenna positioning. The left diagram shows a "correct method" with NVR antennas pointing straight up and IP camera antennas oriented to overlap with the NVR's signal. The right diagram shows a "fault method" where the NVR antennas are not optimally positioned, suggesting a weaker signal.

Repeater Setup

As pictured above, when IPCAM1 is put somewhere out of NVR WIFI range, and there is IPCAM2 between them with a strong WIFI signal, users can put IPCAM1 close to the NVR and power it, set up IPCAM1 repeated by IPCAM2, and then install IPCAM1 to the presupposed place.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows an NVR, followed by IPCAM2, and then IPCAM1, with arrows indicating the signal flow and repeater setup. IPCAM2 acts as a bridge between the NVR and IPCAM1.

Notes: The repeater cannot strengthen the WiFi signal but can extend the WiFi distance by the IP camera. Set up cascading connection in a reasonable solution to extend WiFi signal transfer distance.

Step 1: Right click -> Video Setup -> Repeater.

Step 2: Click '+' to select the channel with the stronger signal value to connect to the NVR, and the weaker signal value to connect to the channel with stronger signal value. As shown in the picture, the signal values of CH1 and CH2 are strong. We can connect CH3 and CH4 behind CH1 and CH2.

Diagram Description: A screenshot shows the "Repeater" interface within "Video Manage". It lists channels (CH1-CH4) with their signal strengths. Options to "Refresh", "Apply", "OK", and "Cancel" are available.

Step 3: Click "Apply" to finish the cascading connection. Click "Refresh" to check if it's set successfully. To cancel selection, click on the selected channel, then click "Apply" and "Ok".

Use Antenna Extension

Installation method of antenna extension cord

Diagram Description: The diagram illustrates the installation of an antenna extension cord. It shows an NVR with its original antenna, connected via an extension cord that passes through a wall to an IP camera. The extension cord is positioned to capture a strong wireless signal.

Note: When the wireless signal is weaker, users can take off the original antenna and substitute an antenna extension cord. Drill a hole on the wall to let the extension cord go through and simply put it where the wireless signal is strong.
