INSTALLATION
General Placement Considerations
The camera can be placed on a shelf or other flat surfaces.
- The camera included is NOT weatherproof; it is an indoor camera.
- The clearest line of sight between the camera and the monitor is best. Walls, especially brick and concrete, can affect connection quality.
- Avoid having a direct light source in view of the camera (ceiling or floor lamps).
- Carefully plan where and how the camera will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the power adaptor.
- Do not cover or obstruct the inlet holes for the temperature sensors and leave the sensor horizontal for a more accurate reading. The temperature reading is for reference only and there may be some variance between the actual temperature and the temperature reading.
