Mounting Location
• Mount the camera in a sheltered place where it is not directly
exposed to direct sunlight or the elements.
• To ensure that camera images are displayed properly, do not
mount the camera on a ceiling.
• Do not mount the camera upside down. If the Panasonic logo
is upside down, the camera is upside down.
• Mount the camera where objects pass the camera from the
sides. The sensor can easily detect temperature differences of
objects moving sideways within the detection range, but
cannot easily detect objects moving towards the sensor. For
more information, see page 12.
• Make sure to position the camera’s light so as not to disturb
the surrounding area. (BL-C160 only)
Note
Avoid these kinds of locations when mounting the camera.
• Where people approach the camera by walking toward the front of the camera
• Facing roads where many cars pass by
(Even when separated by more than 5 m [16 feet 5 inches], cars can interfere with the
performance of the built-in sensor)
• Where car exhaust or warm air from heat-emitting devices cause rapid changes in temperature
(The sensor may detect incorrectly due to rapid changes in temperature)
• Where objects that move in the wind are located (e.g., tree branches, laundry hung out to dry)
(The sensor may detect incorrectly due to temperature changes)
• Where the camera can be exposed to direct sunlight or halogen light
• Where there is vibration or shock
• Where the camera can be exposed to fire, heating devices, or interference from magnetic devices
• Where reflective objects or objects that can interfere with heat detection, such as glass, are in
front of the camera
• In a greasy or moist place
• Near devices that emit radio waves, such as mobile phones
• Where the camera can be exposed to strong chemicals or noxious fumes
• Where the camera can be exposed to air containing high levels of salt, ammonia, sulphur etc.
(Exposure to such conditions can reduce the operating life of the camera)
• In places that have shade during the day, bright lighting at night, or where light levels often change
• In places with the following types of backgrounds and background lighting
(Faces can appear dark which makes it difficult to determine facial characteristics)
In places where
large parts of the
background are
open to bright
light
In places with white
walls in the
background, which
reflect sunlight
toward the camera
Where the
object has
the sun at
its back
