Directional Antenna Specifications

The directional antenna can be mounted vertically, or in a horizontal (flat) position.

We find better performance by mounting all the antennas flat, where they are less

likely to be moved by the wind. However the antennas are mounted, it is very

important that all the antennas be oriented IN THE SAME ORIENTATION. (Either all

horizontal, or all vertical) Each antenna should be connected directly to the camera

/ hub, one antenna per device.

The directional antennas when placed horizontally have an approximate 70 degree

field of view, and when placed vertically have a 50 degree field of view. The camera

antennas should be positioned pointing toward the hub within the “cone” of the

hub’s antenna, for the system to properly communicate. (Note that the camera’s

antennas should point only to the hub antenna, not to each other).

The directional antennas are mounted to the curved pole bracket via the included

mounting hardware. The curved bracket will then need to be mounted to the

desired location, using hardware supplied by the installer. Most typically this would

be done via stainless steel hose clamps, “U” bolts, or some other clamping

mechanism.
