INSTALLATION
Installation Tips
Night Vision
• Before you install the camera, plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will
route the cable that connects the camera to the power adapter.
• Optimized motion detection range is 6 to 18 feet for camera. The farther away an object is,
the less accurate the motion detection.
• Avoid having a direct light source in the view of the camera, including street lights, ceiling
or floor lamps, spotlights in the driveway, etc.
• Rainfall, pool water ripples/reflections, tree/shrub leaves blowing in the wind – and the
shadows they create – can generate motion detection false alarms.
• Before starting permanent installation, have another person check the camera image
on the tablet/phone when camera is positioned in the same place it will be permanently
installed.
• It is recommended to ensure a clear line of sight between the camera and Wi-Fi router and
to limit the amount of obstructions, such as walls and tree branches, between the camera
and Wi-Fi router. Walls made of heavy building materials such as brick or concrete will
significantly reduce signal range.
• If the signal will have to pass through a wall, placing the Wi-Fi router or camera next to a
window will improve the signal strength.
• Do not install the camera pointing out of a window. The night-time picture will be unusable
due to reflection from the night vision LEDs.
• As dust, grime, and cobwebs accumulate on the camera glass, they can reflect light from
the infrared LED and might lower video quality. Periodically clean the lens glass with a soft
cloth.
The camera has built-in infrared LEDs to allow you to view at night for 24-hour surveillance. The
LEDs will automatically activate at night and the picture viewed will turn to black and white. The
night viewing range is up to 35 feet.
WARNING:
It is not recommended to use this camera outdoors.
