1.2. Installation requirements
When determining the camera position of a
Behnke door intercom station, please bear in
mind the following:
In order to receive an image feed, you need a
lot more than to simply point the camera in the
direction of an object or a person. The lighting
situation, the camera’s angle of view (hori-
zontal / vertical), reflectance from other light
sources and sunlight, back lighting and blind
spots are conditions you need to consider. It
is important that you avoid direct sunlight, as
the camera shutter will reduce light incidence
into the camera and consequently will reduce
the image sensor performance. Therefore, try to
have the sun behind the camera when choosing
your camera position. In order to prevent prob-
lems from back lighting when filming objects or
people, you should consider changing the sur-
rounding area by changing the camera position.
Where it proves to be impossible to change the
camera position, the object or person in ques-
tion should be sufficiently lit from the front.
1.3. Maintenance and Care
You have chosen high-quality Behnke products
with front panels made from various materials.
Regardless of the material, all front panels
require regular cleaning in sufficiently short
intervals using a cleansing agent appropriate
for the material in question. This prevents early
aging and patina formation on the surface.
1.4. Prescriptions
Please note the installation conditions
described in the manual on Behnke basic
electronics (analogue / IP) and the relevant
prescriptions for the installation of communi-
cations and electronic systems as well as the
applicable, current norms and regulations on
network technology!
