NVRNVRYour wireless IP cameras will reach up to 300 ft. wirelessly. Therefore, proper placement of the wireless NVR in your home will help ensure you achieve maximum coverage.Placing the wireless NVR centrally in your home, will help make certain that no matter where you mount your cameras, they will be able to wirelessly connect.POSITIONING YOUR WIRELESS NVRIncorrect PlacementCorrect PlacementPositioning Your Wireless NVR and Cameras3 4Strength of Transmission SignalConcrete WallBrick WallGlass with MetalDry WallWood DoorGlass WindowMirrorCinderblockStrongWeakWhen your wireless signal is transmitted through various materials, such as walls and windows, the signal strength is affected. Though the NVR and wireless camera may be very close in proximity, you could still notice high signal interference if the signal passes through certain obstacles. For instance, if the signal passes through a concrete wall it will be severely weakened. Please reference the below chart to see which obstacles highly affect your signal and which do not.How Obstacles Affect Your Signal StrengthYour Wireless NVR must be powered on using the NVR power adapter. Similarly, each wireless camera must be powered with a camera power adapter. Though these cameras wirelessly transmit video to the NVR, they are not battery powered, and must therefore be powered via the included adapters. Each camera within your system will come equipped with its’ own camera power adapter. Powering the NVR and Wireless CamerasNOTE: If your setup requires the signal to be transmitted through an obstacle that severely weakens it, you can use the 9 ft. Wi-Fi Extender Antenna included with your system. The Extender Antenna can be used to bypass the obstacle weakening the signal. Simply replace the white Camera Antenna with the Extender Antenna and then mount the Extender Antenna on the opposing side of the obstacle.WNVR Series QSG.indd 3 3/13/17 4:31 PM
