We highly recommend adding an "Extension Antenna" to enhance signal strength and connectivity. This is a strongly advised solution if you're experiencing signal loss or frequent disconnections between your wireless camera and NVR.

Installation Guide:

• For the NVR: Locate the two black stick antennas at the back of your NVR when viewing from the front. Replace the left stick antenna with the Extension Antenna.
• For Cameras at Disconnected Locations: Replace the existing stick antenna on the camera with the Extension Antenna.
• Mounting the Extension Antenna: The Extension Antenna comes with a magnetic plate at the bottom, allowing you to easily attach it to metal surfaces. Alternatively, you can secure it using glue or tape.
