i-PRO ARB-BWCBLANT-BLM Low Profile Blade Antenna
Overview
The i-PRO ARB-BWCBLANT-BLM is a low-profile blade-type antenna designed for wireless surveillance deployments where antenna height and visibility must be minimized. This antenna solves the installation problem of balancing RF performance with aesthetic or structural constraints — common in retail environments, office parks, and facilities where exposed antenna assemblies create visual clutter or trigger property management objections. The blade profile allows mounting to wall, eave, or pole surfaces without the protruding footprint of traditional whip or dipole antennas.
Compatibility
The ARB-BWCBLANT-BLM is engineered for i-PRO wireless camera systems and access points that support external antenna connectivity. Confirm your specific i-PRO wireless unit accepts a removable/external antenna before ordering — not all models feature antenna connectors. Contact your i-PRO integrator or consult the camera or access point datasheet for SMA or reverse-SMA connector type and impedance matching requirements.
Installation Notes
Mount the antenna to a vertical or near-vertical surface (wall, mast, or pole) using the included bracket or clamp. Position the antenna away from large metal structures or RF-absorbing materials (HVAC ducting, metal roofing) that degrade signal propagation. Ensure the antenna cable runs clear of high-current power lines to avoid EMI coupling. The low-profile design reduces wind loading compared to conventional whip antennas, lowering structural mounting stress. If the antenna is exposed to direct sunlight or temperature swings beyond the operating range of your i-PRO wireless device, verify thermal compatibility before permanent installation.
