OUTDOOR MOTION VIEWER
Mounting Recommendations
Please direct the OMVC along a
fence
or a
wall
in order to protect an
access point
. The detector should not be
mounted close or above an access point. Such installation increase the probability of a missed intrusion.
For optimal use, the OMVC MotionViewer mounting shall respect the following recommendations:
Mounting height :
RSI Video Technologies recommends a
2,5 m to 3,5 m
mounting height.
When you install the MotionViewer higher,
the detection distance is raised
. However the sensitivity is reduced
and the blind area under the MotionViewer is larger.
When you install the MotionViewer lower,
the sensitivity is raised
and the blind area under the detector is reduced.
However the detection distance will be reduced.
Tilt :
Raising or reducing the tilt, even slightly, has a big impact on the detection distance and on the blind area under the
MotionViewer. We recommend to slightly tilt the OMVC to
reduce its detection range
and avoid
false alarms
.
To precisely determine the tilt angle use a smartphone app like
Smart Protactor (Android)
or
Pitch Gauge (iOs)
.

Theoretical values estimated for default sensitivity.
These values only represent the physical limits of the OMVC detection and not its maximum detection range. Long range sensitivity is
reduced and depends on infrared detection properties (see page 5).
* In some cases, false alarms can be triggered from outside the 12m detection limit (street, bushes, trees, etc). If that happens, please
slightly tilt the OMVC downward to prevent false alarms.
