The SuperCam1 is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a mounting position.
•
The camera must be positioned so that it will not point directly into the sun
(sunrise and sunset) or any bright light, as this may cause damage to the
camera.
•
Avoid viewing areas where half the area is in bright sunlight and the other
half is dark, such as in the shadow of a building. All types of cameras have
difficulty in ‘seeing’ with such a large lux level variation.
•
The camera will work in low light conditions, but ensure a light, such as a
200W tungsten halogen lamp, is fitted near to the camera for good visibility
at night-time.
•
The PIR sensor is at it’s most sensitive when a person moves across the face of
the sensor rather than towards the sensor. This means the person crosses
more detection beams and the PIR sensor is therefore more sensitive.
Maximum detection range is 6 metres.
•
Avoid placing the SuperCam 1 close to heater flue outlets, trees or bushes
which may cause a false alarm.
•
The camera cable supplied may be extended up to 100 metres. Please bear
this in mind when choosing your siting position.
PLEASE NOTE - THE SUPERCAM PIR SENSOR WILL NOT OPERATE THROUGH
GLASS
You can now check the camera’s view in different positions enabling you to choose
the best position for your property,
When laying the cable, please bear in mind the following points.
a) Keep the camera cable away from other cables where possible to
reduce the risk of picture and audio interference
b) Avoid laying the cable next to anything which runs hot which could
possibly burn the cable.
c) If the cable is run along the ground, a protective covering must be
used to prevent the cable from being damaged.
