Antenna Mounng
The direconal antenna should be mounted as the scker indicates on the back of the antenna, double checking
that the drain holes are releasing any water toward the ground. This antenna arrangement polarizes them to
a horizontal plane, which has the benit of excluding a lot of the ambient RF noise that emites from the more
common vercally posioned antennas. It is crical that all the antennas are oriented THE SAME WAY in a given
system, or the noise exclusion menoned previously, will work to ensure the camera can not communicate to the
hub.
Each camera should have one antenna, while each hub
may have one or two antennas depending on the locaon
of the cameras in the eld. Note that is more than one
antenna is being used on a hub, then the maximum
transmission range will be reduced due to the usage of a
signal splier.
** NOTE: THE ANTENNAS HAVE DRAIN HOLES TO RELEASE
ANY ACCUMULATED MOISTURE. THE DRAINS HOLE MUST
BE FACING THE GROUND WHEN MOUNTING **
The direconal antennas when placed at have an
approximate 90 degree eld of view. The camera antennas
should be posioned poinng toward the hub, within the
“cone” of the antenna’s eld of view, for the system to
properly communicate.
(Note that the camera’s antennas should point only to
the hub antenna, not at each other).
The direconal antennas will need to be mounted to the
desired locaon, using hardware supplied by the installer.
Typically this would be done via stainless steel hose
clamps, “U” bolts, or some other clamping mechanism.

90°
The antenna included in both the camera and receiver hub kit is an 8dBi 50 Ohm direconal
antenna with about a 90° Field of View. It should be mounted and oriented as the scker
on the back indicates, with the plasc front facing your desired target.
