Before mounting the antennas, please read the below points.
How many cameras can I send over my antennas?
A common question we receive is, "How many cameras can I send over my antennas?".
The answer to this question varies depending on the distance between antennas, and their positioning. The product is rated at 450+ Mbps which is the best case scenario. To know how much data the antennas in your installation can support, it is best to mount them and login to the web interface and view the throughput information. This will tell you how much data you can send over the antennas, in your specific installation. Camera bit rate can be adjusted to suit the installation, depending on the antenna throughput.
There is multiple types of Wi-Fi antenna available for different installation distances. Please contact your sales representative for more information.
This is how to wire the devices required. The Station and the Access Point need to be facing each other to function as intended.
You will need to configure the camera though it's web interface. The Camera will need to be connected to the Laptop via an Ethernet cable. If your have wired your setup like the diagram above, you can unplug the cable from the modem and plug it into the laptop.
You can access the Web Interface by entering the camera's IP address into the address bar of Internet Explorer. 192.168.1.108 is the default IP of our cameras. You may need to change the IP address of your laptop to reach it

If you want to record only Motion events on every day of the week, copy the settings above.
Click Save, and Save again on the previous screen.
Your Camera is now configured to detect and record motion.
If the IP address of the camera is not in the same range as the network it will be on, you will need to change it's IP address.
To find the IP range on a network, or to find available IP addresses, follow the steps below.
This is useful if you are unsure what the network details are, or if you have requested pre-programming. When pre-programming devices, we require these details.
1. Connect a Windows PC / Laptop, open the start menu and type cmd.
2. Launch the Command Prompt program.
3. Once it opens, enter the command ipconfig and take a screenshot or copy the information as below. We require the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
4. A screenshot can be taken by pressing the Windows + Shift + S keys simultaneously, then paste it into a document/email with Ctrl + V
If you wish to connect devices to the network for remote access, you must give each device an IP address, within your network range. In this example, we will be using a Windows computer which is connected to a modem to find the IP address of the computer, and available IP addresses to use for the devices. If the devices are being installed on a business or managed network, contact an IT representative for assistance.
1. Connect a Windows PC / Laptop, open the start menu and type cmd.
2. Launch the Command Prompt program.
3. Once it opens, enter the command ipconfig and take a screenshot or copy the information as below. Note down the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
4. In our example, the IP address is 10.0.0.61. To check what IP address is available, type ping 10.0.0.XXX, where XXX is any number between 2 and 254. If Destination host unreachable or Request timed out is show on screen, there is no device using that IP address. Repeat the process to find multiple IP addresses that are available for use. Every devices requires one IP address. 10.0.0.XXX is used as an example, you the IP Address range will vary depending on the network.
5. When configuring the devices, use the IP addresses that you have found that are available, making sure each device has a unique IP address. The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway, will be set the same on each device.
This is useful if you are unsure what the network details are, or if you have requested pre-programming. When pre-programming devices, we require these details.
1. Open the Apple Menu ( ) and select System Preferences.
2. Select the Network option.

Navigate to Setting > Network > TCP/IP
Change the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
(You may need to change the Laptop's IP address again to access the camera after you change this setting.)
Navigate to Setting > Network > Access Platform > P2P
(At this point you can plug the cable back into the modem and connect to the modem's wifi with the laptop)
Make sure P2P is ticked. When the status on this page says Online you will be able to view the Camera remotely.
If it does not say online, check all of your cables and ensure the IP Address you chose is in the right range and not conflicting with anything.

Using a Switch between the Camera and the Station's PoE injector will allow you to connect multiple cameras/devices. If you do so, we recommend that the ethernet cable that runs between the Switch and the PoE Injector is plugged into the uplink or gigabit port on the Switch.
When configuring a new IP camera for the first time (or after a factory reset), an initialisation process must be performed before the camera can be used. This process was introduced to enhance security by removing the default "admin" password, instead adding a method for the installer to create this password themselves during installation.
On recorders released after January 2018 this process can be performed through the recorder user interface - On recorders with inbuilt PoE ports this process happens automatically and the current recorder "admin" password is copied to the cameras. Any recorder built before this date will need to have cameras initialised manually using a PC / Laptop before they can be used.
If you are installing multiple cameras that will be connected to an external PoE switch, the cameras will need to initialised, the quickest way of doing so is by following method 1 below and initialising cameras in a bulk lot.
The initialisation process can also be performed using the latest version of our Config Tool - Please see the images below showing how this is done. To speed up the process the Config Tool also allows you to initialise multiple cameras at once.
This method does not involve the use of the Config Tool software, this method can be used if you have a single of camera to setup, and do not have access to the internet to download the Config Tool.
You can have multiple Cameras if you add them to either of the Switches. If you do so, we recommend that the Ethernet cable that runs between the Switch and the PoE Injector is plugged into the uplink or gigabit port on the Switch.
Some installations may require cameras to be added to the NVR over the network. This may be the case if the NVR doesn't have POE ports, or if a wireless bridge is involved in the installation. In this case the cameras need to be added to the NVR via a different method, see below for details.
If you are currently connected to a router or have internet access, that means a Router/Modem or Other Device is supplying your computer with an IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. This process is Automatic and is called DHCP.

In some installations you may find it easier to initialize cameras directly from the recorder, this method works best when adding a few camera.
In this example, there are multiple stations sending data back to one access point. This is useful if you have multiple buildings in the 120 degree field of view from the access point. The same steps as above are followed for configuration.
