Executive Summary
The client is a market leader in doorbell solutions for smart homes with a well-known gadget featuring HD streaming videos, night vision cameras and motion detectors. Since the rich features obviously consume a lot of web bandwidth, it limits the number of door rings that can be supported by the average Wi-Fi broadband access router. The client wanted to overcome this challenge by designing a separate Wi-Fi access point for the doorbell gadget disengaged from the home Wi-Fi access system. This would have the added security advantage of keeping hackers and packet sniffers at bay.
eInfochips took the ownership of designing a Wi-Fi repeater which connects the home Wi-Fi access point as a client and simultaneously, acts as a distinct Wi-Fi access point for the video doorbells. With this separate network in place, the client was able to support a total of eight video doorbells on one Wi-Fi repeater without compromising on video streaming quality.
