Model: Tapo C510W  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.2

I've just installed this camera but my WiFi signal is near -67 dB so I can't communicate with the camera  using the app. The instructions don't say much about WiFi or how to get a signal outside. 

What to you suggest as a way to improve the WiFi outside.

  @Dwhitton 

you are suppose to plan beforehand how to ensure your camera receives solid wifi connection.

 

since you already installed, try and adjust the antennas. Or increasing the tx rate of the 2.4ghz signal. If not, then you have to either move your router nearer or extend it with an access point/extender via wired backhaul.

  @Kaizoku the C510w doesn't have external antenna. 

As for checking the WiFi signal, as the documentation does not discuss this issue, I didnt know how it would pick up the wifi nor what strength was required.

So now looking to buy a WIFI extender to see if it can provide signal level outside.

Thanks
