" ...  You can also just connect some of the cameras as wired and some as wireless. ... If you can find locations where the signals from the NVR and cameras can easily pass, then this system is the one for you. ... In some cases, I had to order some extended range antennas from Amazon (9db) to help boost the signal, but I was able to get this system to work and provide good pictures. ... where my cameras and NVR were too far away from each other for a clear signal, I was able to use the Dreamliner feature to extend my range. ... And as I mentioned earlier, I found that using some extended range antennas was also helpful. ... However, not only do the extended range antennas boost the signal, they also have a cable attached to them that allow you to mount the camera at one location and mount your antennas a short distance away (14 inches), which in my case could move the antenna around a corner to avoid an obstruction.  ...  "

The cameras on the front side of the house have a much weaker signal but still operate ok, I am hopeful to increase their signal using a repeater or a low loss antenna extension cable.  ...  "

" ...  I purchased this unit because the NVR provides it's own isolated wi-fi network. ... I've tried other brands/setups where the cameras use the existing wi-fi network in my home and as you can imagine, 8 cameras transmitting HD video simultaneously hogs all of the wi-fi bandwidth making it impossible to use the wi-fi for general internet/email/streaming/etc. ... Having all 8 cameras on their own self-contained wi-fi network solves this completely and makes the system as reliable and consistent as a wired system would be.  ...  "

" ...  It's hard to complain about this because they've actually provided MORE wiring than necessary at more expense to them, but I'm OCD about visible wires and I would have preferred wiring that was more compact and less cumbersome.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The difference between a wired and a wireless system is that for the wired system, you have to string wire from the master station to each of your cameras and for the wireless system you have to string wire from the nearest power source to each of your cameras. ... And while I am on the subject of multiple buildings, if you directly string wire between equipment in multiple buildings and the power for each of the buildings is not from the same service transformer, the ground plane for each of the buildings could be different and you could fry your equipment. ... So that is an advantage of a wireless system in that the equipment is connected by way of radio waves instead of wires. ...
