6.2.3 Night Vision Flash Range Does Not Meet Expectations 

1)

 

Four (4) AA batteries will not support the camera

’s 

night vision ability; ensure that 8 AA batteries are installed. 

2)

 

Batteries must be fully charged or have enough power for operation of the LEDs. 

3)

 

Adjust Night Mode to Max Range for best night vision flash range. 

4)

 

High-quality  1.5V  rechargeable  AA  batteries  or  lithium  batteries  will  provide  optimum  IR  flash  range 
performance. Alkaline batteries may not deliver enough amperage to power the IR illuminator consistently at 
night. 

5)

 

To ensure accuracy and quality of night time images, mount the camera away from any obvious light sources. 

6)

 

Certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within the flash range will provide better night time images. 
Aiming the camera toward a totally open area, where there is nothing to reflect back, tends to result in less flash 
range and lower quality images. 

6.2.4 Camera Location Seems to be Susceptible to False Triggering 

1)

 

Make sure the camera is not aimed at the sun. False triggers can be generated by  the infra-red (IR) energy 
from the sun. This is particularly true at sunrise or sunset and during heat from the mid-day sun. 

2)

 

Check  the  “Sensor  Level”  (PIR  sensitivity)  parameter  setting.  For  warm  environmental  conditions,  set  the 
Sensor Level to “High” and

 

for cold weather use, set the sensor for “Low”.

 

3)

 

Try to set your camera up in an area where there is not a heat source in the camera’s line of sight.

 

4)

 

Try to avoid setting the camera up on small trees that are prone to being moved by strong winds. 

5)

 

Remove any limbs or other vegetation that are in front of the camera lens.
