If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems
occur when using the camera with a wireless LAN, try the following
corrective actions.
When using indoors, install the device in the same room that you
are shooting.
Install the device higher than the camera.
Install the device where people or objects do not come between it
and the camera.
Install the device as close to the camera as possible. In particular,
note that during outdoor use in poor weather, rain may absorb
radio waves and disrupt the connection.
If the transmission rate of a wireless LAN drops because of the
influence of the following electronic devices, stop using them or
establish a connection further away from them.
The camera communicates over wireless LANs via IEEE 802.11b/
g/n using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the
wireless LAN transmission rate may drop if there are microwave
ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, or similar devices
operating on the same frequency band nearby.
If a Wi-Fi device on the same frequency band as the camera is
used nearby, the transmission rate of the wireless LAN may drop.
When connecting multiple cameras to one access point, make
sure that the cameras’ IP addresses are different.
When multiple cameras are connected to one access point, the
transmission rate drops.
When there are multiple IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) access
points, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN
channel to reduce radio wave interference. For example, use
channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2 and 7, or channels 3 and 8.
