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 - 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 infra-red LEDs to allow you to view at night for 24hrs 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:
Weatherproof, IP66 rated cameras are suitable for outdoor installation. However, if possible, it is recommended
to install in a location that provides some shelter from the elements, such as beneath roof eaves.
