The fewer the obstacles, the longer the distance that can be bridged.<\/li>\n<li>Most wireless solutions specify the maximum bandwidth but the real bandwidth required depends on the distance and obstacles and may be half or even only 10 percent of the maximum.<\/li>\n<li>Use a spectrometer to check what other frequencies are already in use. The level risk for interference depends on what other wireless networks are installed in the area.<\/li>\n<li>Wireless sends data out into the open air. The security of the connection requires use of appropriate security protocols such as 802.1X. However, adding security protocols normally decreases performance.<\/li>\n<li>Wireless networks replace cables but power is still required at both ends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Wireless IP Camera Basics<\/h2>\n<p>Next up I&#8217;ll go into more detail about some of the basics of wireless\u00a0local area networks\u00a0(WLAN) such as\u00a0frequencies, signal strength, and\u00a0security recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to their flexibility and cost savings, wireless IP cameras are an interesting alternative to wired networks.\u00a0For example,\u00a0a\u00a0wireless IP camera, like the Axis M3113-R,\u00a0in a bus can be accessed live from remote locations.\u00a0 Or,\u00a0historical buildings protected by the Heritage Act may not allow standard network cables to be installed thus only allowing a wireless setup.
