They are home consumer cameras and very limited in their transmission range, resolution, and other capabilities like bandwidth control which allow optimization of the video feed to reach longer distances. The camera sends video, audio, data over WiFi to the AP, then the AP sends the signal to your network router via the network cable attached to it. Once the data reaches your router it can be sent to your NVR, computer, or even be accessed over WiFi from a mobile device or laptop; the router is basically acting as another relay for sending the video signal to other devices on the network. If you use a NVR, you can even record the camera feed on it along with wired IP cameras. If you use our Tribrid DVR you can record wired ip cameras, wireless ip cameras, analog cctv cameras, and HDCVI hd over coax cameras. Using the NVR or Tribrid DVR you can serve the video to multiple clients 20 to be exact using any variety of wired or wireless devices as long as they are on the same network. Find out the ip address scheme of your network and set the camera to an appropriate IP address. In our case our router ip address is 192. 168. 1. 1 so we set our camera's address to 192.
