Wireless Installation Considerations (DCS-6005L Only)

This D-Link device can connect to your wireless network from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range
is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your adapter and other network devices (such as your Network Camera) - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position your devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless signal. Try to position your access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Mounting the Camera

Please refer to the steps below to assist you with mounting the camera.
We suggest that you congure the camera before mounting.
1. The camera needs to be separated from the mounting base to expose the holes in the mounting base. Remove the camera head from the mounting base by firmly holding the camera with the D-Link logo facing you and then sliding the mounting base towards you.
2. Place the mounting base alignment sticker where you want to position the camera. Depending on the material of the wall or ceiling, use proper tools to drill two holes where you placed the alignment sticker. If the wall is made out of concrete, drill the holes rst, then insert the plastic anchors to support the screws.
3. Place the mounting base over the holes that are in the wall. Make sure to align the mounting base holes with the holes in the wall. Use the supplied screws to attach the mounting base to the surface of the wall.
Do not overtighten screws as this may crack the mount.
4. With the D-Link logo facing you, reattach the camera to the mounting plate by sliding the camera towards you until it locks into position.
