INSTALL CAMERAS
Consider the following when installing cameras:
• Clear line of sight video transmission distance is up to 500 ft.
— Walls, especially brick and concrete, shorten the transmission distance.
— Placement next to windows allows better transmission.
• Avoid having a direct light source in the view of the camera, such as ceiling or floor lamps or outside spotlights visible through the window.
• The camera is equipped with built-in infrared LEDs so you can use night vision for 24-hour surveillance. The LEDs will automatically activate at night and the picture viewed will turn to black and white. The night viewing range is up to 25 ft. Avoid pointing the camera lens directly at clear glass; the night vision LEDs will cause a blurred image.
• Optimized motion detection range is 6 - 18 feet for the camera. The farther away an object is, the less accurate the motion detection.
• If you leave your camera wirelessly connected to the router, your picture quality will be very good. However, you can leave the camera physically connected to the router for the highest quality images. If you wish to do so, install the camera within reach of the router.
1. Use your mobile device to test the places where you are considering mounting the camera. Hold the device in that location; if you still have a WiFi signal on your device, the location should be okay.
Attach the camera stand if you have not already done so.
2. Unplug the camera from the power source and install it.
3. After the camera is installed, reconnect power.
