Installation – Wireless Installation Considerations10Wireless Installation ConsiderationsThe Keebox IPC1000W / IPC1000WI KView Wireless N Network Camera can be connected to your network wirelessly from anywhere within itsoperating range. However, keep in mind that there are factors that affect the signal strength and range of your connection. The number of objectsthe signal must pass through together with the number of radio frequencies in the area will have an effect on the range. Remember these tips tomaximize 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 throughwill 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 areathan 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 doorwaysor through drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, steel, walls with insulation, bodies of water such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, brickand 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 ordrop completely. Try to keep the base station of your cordless phone as far away as possible from the camera as the base station willtransmit a signal even if the phone is not in use.
