Y-cam Outdoor HD Pro Schnellstartanleitung Seite 8

Installation & placement tips
Connected on Wi-Fi
or using extender
Using a Wi-Fi connection for our camera
is a popular option, but thick or insulated
external walls can greatly reduce the
signal strength. Always test the camera
can reach your network before installation.
• If
using Wi-Fi, make sure you remove the protective boot from the Wi-Fi antenna
mounting screw before attaching the antenna.
• We recommend placing the camera no further than 10m/30ft away from your router;
closer if there are obstacles in the way such as walls, doors or ceilings.
• Outside of this range, we recommend using an Ethernet connection, Power over Ethernet,
installing a Wi-Fi signal extender or repeater, or using HomePlug/Powerline technology.
• Y-cam is only compatible with 2.4GHz network. If your router is using the 5GHz band,
please ensure it is operating in a mixed mode and with the frequencies operating
independently from one another.
• Make sure your camera is connecting to your network properly before following the rest
of the installation procedure and securely fastening your camera to the wall.

*A PoE Injector or Switch that is 802.3af compliant and a minimum 13W power per port is required.
Connected by network
cable or PoE
Ethernet or Power over Ethernet* (PoE)
connections are the most reliable. PoE
allows you to also power the camera
from a PoE switch/router, so only an
ethernet cable is required to reach
the camera.
