Ultra 2 Signal Strength Bottom Bar Red

[KachinaShadow]

Just installed a second Ultra 2 about four days ago. Yesterday I noticed that even though the signal strength shows 3 bars, the bottom bar is red. I thought it might have to do with color night vision being turned on but after turning it off the red bar remains 🤔

Looks like I just answered my own question...until I mount the camera somewhere else, I set it on the patio to confirm a rat was running down the patio at night (he is). I just went out and picked up the camera while watching on the app and as soon as I picked it up off of the concrete the red bar changed and is the same color as the two bars above...I set it back down on the concrete and the bottom bar again changes to red.

Not sure what all this means but since everything works like it should, I don't care 🙄

It means the signal is stronger when it is not on the concrete.  Usually there is rebar (iron bars) embedded in the concrete, and that could be affecting the wifi signal.
