Wireless Range Extender for security cameras

The ACCANTO8 2.4 GHz omni-directional antenna can help boost the wireless signal strength and range of a security camera. Omni-directional means that it will boost your wireless signal in all directions. In fact, it has a full 360° signal spread and a 10° vertical spread.

Clear line-of-sight

 

A clear line of sight between the antenna and the wireless camera is necessary to ensure the ACCANTO8 provides effective signal strength. Please note that objects such as concrete or trees can reduce the strength of your signal.

 

Omni-directional

 

Wireless cameras are very convenient to move around your property as you wish thanks to their lack of video cables. If you have a wireless camera that you like to move from time to time then this is the antenna booster for you.

 

Typical installations

 

The omni-directional antenna can be installed in several locations, such as a roof, fence, deck, or the side of your house. A mast (not included) may be needed to mount the camera in a location that provides a clear line of sight.

Easy installation

Once you have chosen a location and assembled the ACCANT08 omni-directional antenna, you will need to connect it to the specific receiver for the wireless camera that you need to boost the signal for. This is accomplished by using the provided 20ft antenna extension cable.

Combine with directional antenna

You can use the omni-directional antenna along with a directional panel antenna (Lorex model: ACCANTD9) to increase the range of a specific camera. Simply connect the directional panel antenna to the camera using an SMA extension cable. A clear line-of-sight between the directional and omni-directional antennas is highly recommended in order to maximize signal strength.

"Works great"

James S. (5/5)

New

"I have had for a month but have not used until tonight. The biggest thing is the instructions are in another language. I found them online and printed off. This is the screwiest company I have ever dealt with!"

Eugene S. (4/5)

I have no need for this item, make sure you really need it.

"I have not installed this antenna. Lorex recommended it for what I am not sure. My router does not have an antenna on it at all, so I cannot put it on the router I already own a wifi extender. I have no real need for this antenna. I hope to return it"

It's working great

"It's working great"

Jeff M. (5/5)

A great asset to the system

"We have had the Lorex system installed for about 6 weeks and are slowly adapting to it. Our previous camera system has much less of a learning curve and its interface was FAR more intuitive. One issue we faced was incredibly short battery life - such as 10 days. Our home has 20 inch limestone walls which might account for some of the issue - but the previous system was not so affected. By installing these antennas on the cameras with the shortest battery life, we are getting significantly longer battery life."

Easy to install and works

"Easy to install and works great."

Thomas M. (5/5)

Omni extender antenna

"Works Great, I had a wireless camera that was in a childs playhouse and on opposite side of house with steel siding. signal was bad. After adding omni-directional wireless extender antenna the signal is great."

Paul S. (5/5)

Purchase and Install Experience

"Installed a six camera wifi motion detecion system myself. I am not a professional installer, but followed the included directions and found the install to be easy to complete. Four to the six cameras connected easily with the other two requiting antenna booster range extenders due to distance to the recorder. The cost was considerably lower than other area dealers quoted. Would recommend individuals consider making this a DIY project."

Michael H. (5/5)

So far so good.

"This range extending antenna has allowed me to move a few cameras farther from my home giving me notifications sooner when people show up."

Belinda T. (5/5)

lorex antenna

"I received this promptly. I installed it and found no change in amplitude. two days later, I had to fly to Florida to tend to my mother who went in hospital. I'm still here. I haven't had time to deal with it yet. thank you for understanding."
