Camera Installation
1� Installation Location
Choose a location with a clear, unblocked field of view and with a good wireless signal to the camera. Please keep the following
tips in mind:
•
Make sure the wall is strong enough to withstand three times the weight of the camera.
•
Recommended installation height: 7-10 ft (2-3 m) above the ground.
•
Recommended installation angle: Tilt down 20 degrees.
• Make sure that side-to-side traffic crosses camera’s field of view. The camera’s motion sensor is much more sensitive to
side-to-side movement across its field of view than to movement directly toward or away from the camera.
20°
Limited by PIR detection technology, the camera may fail to detect motion when environment temperature is close to
human body temperature or someone approaches the PIR sensor vertically.
•
It is recommended to set detection sensitivity on the EZVIZ app when selecting location. Thus you can verify if motion can be
detected in the camera’s placement and adjust the sensitivity based on the size and distance of detected object.
Important Notes on Reducing False Alarms:
•
Do not install the camera under strong light conditions, including sunshine, bright lamp lights, etc.
• Do not place the camera near any outlets, including the air conditioner vents, humidifier outlets, the heat transfer
vents of projectors, etc
•
Do not install the camera at places with strong wind.
•
Do not install the camera in front of a mirror.
•
Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices, including Wi-Fi routers and phones in order to
avoid wireless interference.
