Review on πŸ“‘ Bingfu Dual Band WiFi 2.4GHz 5GHz 5.8GHz 9dBi Magnetic Base SMA Male Antenna: Enhancing Wireless Video Security Camera Surveillance by Rick Howlett

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad magnet, weak signal for my application

Not working for my application. I'm not an RF geek but all the specs seemed to match what I needed for my wireless backup camera system for my RV. The antenna was actually inferior to the standard 3 inch antennas. The quality of the antenna, cable and fit is ok. The magnetic base is junk. They used an ultra-small magnet that was lightly glued to a hollow plastic base. Fell apart on first use. Epoxy and large purple will be needed as a DIY if you want to assemble this way. By default, this antenna cannot be held on a metal object, even in a vertical position. it's so weak I ended up using 3m of double sided electrical tape with a tertiary zip tie.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
