Outdoor wireless coverage
If the distance between camera and access point is short and the thickness of the wall is reasonable, AXIS 211W can be installed outdoors with its standard indoor antenna inside a plastic housing, communicating with a wireless access point with antenna placed indoors.
However, a wall, or even a window, between the antennas does affect the signal quality. For longer distances, the recommendation is to use outdoor antennas. It is recommended that the camera antenna be installed in clear line of sight and at the same height as the access point’s antenna. To protect your network from strokes of lightning, use a lightning protector.
The outdoor camera antenna and lightning protector are available as accessories from Axis. In Europe, the AXIS 211W Outdoor Verso Kit, including AXIS 211W, outdoor antenna and housing, is available.
The table below describes the installation options for the antennas and the corresponding typical coverage range.
