Wireless Installation Considerations
The Keebox IPC1000W / IPC1000WI KView Wireless N Network Camera can be connected to your network wirelessly from anywhere within its
operating range. However, keep in mind that there are factors that affect the signal strength and range of your connection. The number of objects
the signal must pass through together with the number of radio frequencies in the area will have an effect on the range. Remember these tips to
maximize the wireless range of your network:
• Keep the number of walls or ceilings that the signal must pass through to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling that the signal must pass through
will have an adverse affect on the range of your network.
• Be aware of the direct line between the devices. A wall that is at an angle will mean that signal needs to pass through a greater surface area
than the normal thickness of the wall.
• Building materials make a difference. Try to position access points, routers and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways
or through drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, steel, walls with insulation, bodies of water such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, brick
and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
• Keep the network camera at least 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) away from other devices which generate radio frequencies.
• If you are using a 2.4GHz cordless phone or other radio frequency sources such as microwave ovens, your wireless signal may degrade or
drop completely. Try to keep the base station of your cordless phone as far away as possible from the camera as the base station will
transmit a signal even if the phone is not in use.
