This is how to solve WiFi problems with your IP camera

With an IP camera, you'll always know what's happening around your home. Even when you're not there. In that case, you can view live footage and recordings via an app. To get that razor-sharp footage to your phone, the IP camera needs good WiFi. In this article, we'll explain how to set up good WiFi for your IP camera.

How do I test WiFi for my IP camera?

IP camera speed test

Do you have WiFi reception where you're mounting the IP camera, but don't know if it's enough? Take your phone with you to the place where your camera is or will be mounted. Is this outside? Don't forget your key and make sure to close the door. Open Google and enter 'google speed test'. Tap 'run speed test' and you can read your internet speed near your camera. You need at least a 60Mbps upload speed. This is the second number.

I want WiFi in the garden for my IP camera

IP camera powerline adapter

The WiFi signal indoors isn't always as powerful outside. Walls, windows, and doors block the wireless internet. With a powerline adapter, you can create a WiFi point for your IP camera. For a camera in the back garden, you can place it in the shed, for example. The internet runs outdoors via the power cord. This way, you also have good WiFi in the back garden. You can provide a WiFi camera in the front garden with WiFi with a powerline adapter in the hallway.

  • An extra WiFi point where you currently don't have wireless internet.
  • Easy to connect, without running cables.
  • You create a second WiFi network at home, which might cause interference.

I want an extra WiFi point for an indoor IP camera

Powerline adapter indoors

Is your indoor WiFi signal strong enough to browse the internet anywhere, but not for the IP camera? In this case, a powerline adapter can help as well. You'll create an extra WiFi point in a room without wireless internet. This way, you can keep an eye on the back door in the pantry. Or you can make sure nobody can walk into the study unnoticed. You don't need cables, because the internet runs via your power cords. Do you want an extra WiFi point indoors and outdoors? Buy a set of 3 powerline adapters.

I want good and stable WiFi in my whole house

Mesh WiFi attic

Don't you have fast and stable wireless internet in multiple spots at home? You can use Mesh WiFi to solve 2 problems at once. This way, you can create 1 WiFi network that covers your whole home. You'll have fast internet in every room. That's useful for your laptop, smartphone, and WiFi camera. Mesh WiFi works with 2 or more stations that are connected wirelessly. This way, you'll always have a good reception, and you can stay connected to the same WiFi network in the whole house.

  • Fast and stable WiFi in your whole house.
  • The stations communicate with each other, so you only have 1 network.
  • Depending on the size of your home, you need 4 or more stations.
