Poor Wifi range with RLK12-800WB4. Wire cameras or replace it to a POV system?

[Torzen_925667169362104]

I have the system RLK12-800WB4 with 4 cameras RLC-810WA, and I have a poor wifi-connection on several of the cameras. I have tried to supplement with an RLA-WE1 extender, but it doesn't work very well.

I am in doubt whether I should change and replace with a POV system, e.g. RLK8-800V4, or whether I should cable the cameras that do not have good enough range.

My requirements are a simple and stable system that records 24/7 to an nvr, and of course I should be able to see the recordings on my phone no matter where I am.

Thanks

@torzen_925667169362104 if your home WIFI is better and reachable at each camera location then use your Home WIFI instead of that of the NVR.

However, if you are able to get the POE system and able to run the cables then opt for this.

Hi Joseph. Thanks for your reply.
Since I have continuous recording, I'm worried about overloading my home WiFi.
So I should either keep my current Reolink WIFI system and run network cables to the cameras where there is poor wifi, or I should switch the system to a now POV system.
I'm just wondering if it's a clumsy solution to cable to wifi cameras.
Sorry for my stupid questions, but I'm not very good at technology.

@torzen_925667169362104 They won't impact the WIFI bandwidth unless you are using it heavily with 4K streaming on a multitude of devices. Each cam requires around 10Mbps bandwidth and I presume you have a mesh WIFI system or access points.

However, as I pointed out the best cameras are POE since there will be no issue with WIFI signals which are impacted by temperature, interference, obstacles, etc. But if the cameras have an ethernet port you may connect them to your router. I have a WIFI Trackmix and a WIFI RLC-811WA and I connect them through their ethernet ports. Ethernet connectivity has priority over WIFI.
