5.8 Step 8: Verify Camera Image
• Power on the cameras, and then verify the camera video quality before mounting the
cameras to a permanent location.
• Mount the cameras under a sheltered location. Always verify the outdoor rating of your
camera before installing it in a permanent location.
CAUTION
Cameras differ in terms of installation or mounting instructions. Please see the documentation that came
with your camera(s) for specific installation instructions.
5.8.1 Camera Installation Tips
• Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines or telephone lines.
• Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible, but out of reach.
• Avoid pointing the camera at a glass window to see outside, as this may result in a poor
image caused by glare from indoor / outdoor lighting conditions.
• Adjust the camera angle so that it covers an area with high traffic.
• In "high-risk" locations, have multiple cameras point in the same area. This provides
camera redundancy if a vandal attempts to damage the camera.
5.9 Step 9: Set the Time
• Set the system time and date for accurate video time stamps. Videos with inaccurate
times may not be valid as surveillance evidence.
• For details on setting the system time, see 8 Setting The Time , page 26.
