Hi, i have a shipping container that i use as a workshop. I’ve a WiFi router inside the container. I’ve set up a Ring security system in there consisting of 1x door sensor, 2x motion sensors, 1x stick up cam, 1x base station and 1x floodlight cam. All set up perfectly and working fine with the container door open. However whenever i close the container door the floodlight cam simply goes offline, every time…, open the door and it comes online again! I called up customer support and they were insistent it’s the WiFi, they just wouldn’t have it that i said it can’t be as the WiFi is inside the container!, it wasn’t until i said the stick up cam works perfectly, door closed or door open. They are sending me a replacement floodlight, however i don’t think it’ll work, i think it’s something else, does anyone have any suggestions?
Hi @user23305. Is the Floodlight Cam installed on the outside of this shipping container? What material is the shipping container made out of? If it is made out of metal, and the Floodlight Cam is installed on the outside of the shipping container, then the wifi signal is going to have a very difficult time traveling through the metal shipping container when the door is closed. You’re welcome to share an update after you receive your replacement, however you will likely encounter the same concern given that wifi does not travel through metal well at all.
