Installer Playbook

Power & Continuity
  • RTR-ZS: use built-in 2600mAh battery to bridge mains interruptions for alarm/access communicators.
  • RTR-ZM / RTR-ZL: place on conditioned mains and UPS if uptime is critical.
  • Label SIM/APN details inside the enclosure for serviceability.
Network Topology & Cabling
  • RTR-ZM: uplink a PoE switch via Gigabit LAN to aggregate cameras and controllers.
  • Use separate VLANs (where available) for security devices vs guest/client Wi-Fi.
  • Locate the router centrally and elevated to improve Wi-Fi propagation.
Radio Planning (Site Basics)
  • Survey for strongest 4G/5G carrier coverage before final mount location.
  • Avoid enclosing the router in dense metal enclosures or behind heavy masonry.
  • For camera-heavy sites, prefer the RTR-ZL to maximise upstream headroom.
Hardening Checklist
  • Change default admin credentials; use strong passphrases.
  • Disable unused SSIDs and services; limit management to trusted subnets.
  • Keep firmware updated on maintenance visits.
