We are working to determine if the Pro 5S’ dual band WiFi will address issues that I have when mounting cameras to metal buildings.  We live on a Hobby Farm with pole and walk-in sheds that we want to monitor - but mounting cameras near the metal on the barn causes disruption in the signal.  Is there anything that we can do and will the Pro 5S address it?

 

Thanks!

It's the metal that's the issue. ANy chance you can position the cameras on a pole or other non-metallic object nearby and still get the view you need? I suppose adding a wooden extension from the barn that's long enough to help isolate the camera signal from the metal could be useful.

I figured as much and have moved my camera’s of the barn and sheds.  Perhaps someday we’ll come up with a solution to address this.  

 

Thanks!
