Wireless Communication Function Notes

If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems

occur when using the wireless communication functions, try the following

corrective actions.

Distance Between the Camera and the Smartphone

If the camera is too far from the smartphone, a Wi-Fi connection may not

be established even when Bluetooth connection is possible. In this case,

bring the camera and the smartphone closer together, then establish a Wi-

Fi connection.

Installation Location of Access Point Antenna

z

When using indoors, install the device in the room where you are using

the camera.

z

Install the device where people or objects do not come between the

device and the camera.

Nearby Electronic Devices

If the Wi-Fi transmission rate drops because of the influence of the following

electronic devices, stop using them or move further away from the devices

to transmit communication.

z

The camera communicates over Wi-Fi via IEEE 802.11b/g/n using radio

waves in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the Wi-Fi transmission

rate will drop if there are Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, cordless

telephones, microphones, smartphones, other cameras, or similar

devices operating on the same frequency band nearby.

Cautions for Using Multiple Cameras

z

When connecting multiple cameras to one access point via Wi-Fi, make

sure the cameras’ IP addresses are different.

z

When multiple cameras are connected to one access point via Wi-Fi, the

transmission rate drops.

z

When there are multiple IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) access points,

leave a gap of five channels between each Wi-Fi channel to reduce radio

wave interference. For example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2

and 7, or channels 3 and 8.
