3. Setup u Installazzjoni

The Loocam Wireless Bridge is designed for plug-and-play operation with automatic pairing. Follow these steps for initial setup.

3.1 Connecting to a PC (Example)

Waħħal Antenni: Screw the provided antennas onto the TX and RX bridge units.
Power On TX Unit: Connect the power adapter to the TX bridge unit and plug it into a power outlet.
Connect TX to Router: Use one Ethernet cable to connect the TX bridge unit to a LAN port on your router.
Power On RX Unit: Connect the power adapter to the RX bridge unit and plug it into a power outlet.
Connect RX to PC: Use the second Ethernet cable to connect the RX bridge unit to your computer's Ethernet port (you may need a USB to Ethernet adapter for laptops without a built-in port).
Ivverifika l-Konnessjoni: Once both units are powered and connected, they will automatically pair. The computer connected to the RX unit should now be able to access the internet.

3.2 Connecting to an NVR (Example)

The wireless bridge can also be used to extend network connectivity for IP cameras and Network Video Recorders (NVRs).

Waħħal Antenni: Screw the provided antennas onto the TX and RX bridge units.
Power On TX Unit: Connect the power adapter to the TX bridge unit and plug it into a power outlet.
Connect TX to IP Camera: Use one Ethernet cable to connect the TX bridge unit to your IP camera.
Power On RX Unit: Connect the power adapter to the RX bridge unit and plug it into a power outlet.
Connect RX to NVR: Use the second Ethernet cable to connect the RX bridge unit to an available Ethernet port on your NVR.
Ivverifika l-Konnessjoni: The NVR should now detect the IP camera connected via the wireless bridge.

3.4 Identifying TX and RX Units

The units are pre-paired. One unit acts as the Transmitter (TX) and the other as the Receiver (RX). You can identify them by observing the indicator lights after powering on:

The RX light on the Receiver (RX) unit should be illuminated.
The RX light on the Transmitter (TX) unit should be off.

4. Operazzjoni

The Loocam Wireless Bridge operates on a point-to-point principle, extending your network wirelessly.

Faxxa ta' Frekwenza: Operates in the 902MHz-928MHz band, offering strong penetration capabilities.
Distanza tat-Trażmissjoni: Achieves up to 2000 feet wireless transmission distance in open areas.
Wi-Fi HaLow Technology: Utilizes 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow for extended coverage and improved obstacle penetration (up to 350 feet through one wall).
Rata tad-Data: Supports speeds up to 16Mbps. Note that Wi-Fi HaLow is optimized for range and penetration rather than high bandwidth.
Applikazzjonijiet: Ideal for extending network coverage between buildings, for video surveillance systems, and for expanding Wi-Fi coverage in areas where traditional Wi-Fi signals are weak.
