Wi-Fi Signal Strength Requirements

Video devices have network requirements and recommendations that, when met, provide an optimal experience to the user. The requirements and recommendations include recommended types of internet connections, router compatibility, and bandwidth and Wi-Fi signal strength requirements.

Internet service and bandwidth requirements vary by video device model, video device audio integration, and whether a Stream Video Recorder (SVR) is in use.
