To optimize event detection, place your CheckVideo Outdoor/Indoor
Camera as follows:
• HEIGHT: Each camera must be installed 8 to 20 feet off the
ground.
• DISTANCE: If you are mainly detecting people, the distance
between the camera and the people you wish to detect should
be 10 to 40 feet. If you are primarily concerned with detecting
vehicles, the range is 20 to 60 feet.
The CheckVideo Camera Placement Guide includes a summary
checklist on improving your camera placement.
Once you’ve determined where to place the Camera, confirm it can
receive a signal from your wireless router. Power it up and see if the
LED light turns green. If there is no wireless signal, the LED will turn
orange within two minutes.
The Camera can be placed on a ceiling, wall, or shelf.
Loosen the nuts to adjust the mount arm to the desired position.
Use the three long screws to attach the Camera to your selected
location.
