Dakota Micro® Wireless 3dBi Antenna

Designed to work with all Dakota Micro® and OverView® wireless transmitter and receiver equipment, this 3dbi antenna offers you standard and signal strength and distance. As a general guide, with a clear line of sight, we were able to reach distances of up to 300' using this antenna during our internal testing. If you are attempting to use your wireless units in areas that contain a lot of obstructions you might want to consider one of our higher gain antennas with extension cabling. Please read the Important Considerations* section below as we want you to be informed of some of the challenges encountered with wireless systems.

*Important Considerations: Like all wireless 2.4 GHz systems, it may not always be a perfect solution for your application and we suggest, if possible, using our cabled cameras over the wireless alternatives. Using cabling will give you the clearest images with no inference or connectivity issues. With wireless you may encounter interference from any source producing a magnetic field, a wireless signal, or “sight line” obstructions like metal buildings and tree rows. Some of these challenges can be overcome with antenna placement and elimination of external obstructions. In making our wireless units both AHD and CVBS camera compatible each signal will produce different results. For example, CVBS will give you more distance, but less clarity and AHD will give you higher resolution, but less reliability and connectivity. For all these reasons we suggest before permanent installation of any wireless equipment you do some initial testing and practicing. Start small with short distances and work your way out. Please be aware that even though our Dakota Micro® team strives to be as accurate and helpful as possible we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility with all applications or account for the unlimited scenarios that are available. We hope these Important Considerations help you make the best choice for your desired use.
