Camera Location Tips

Take into consideration what you want to monitor and where you’ll get the best view of it.
How you’re going to connect the camera to your monitoring system; remember that cables and connections should be kept out of the weather.
How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. It’s recommended to mount your camera at an elevated position.
Place your camera as close to the area of interest as practicable. The best position is from about 13ft/4m above looking slightly down, keeping in mind the details you are looking for.
Although the sky looks nice when you look at the live view from your camera, it is an unlikely direction for an offender to approach. Make sure your camera has minimal sky in it as the light in daylight can make the foreground of the image darker.
Think about the most likely way a potential offender may approach your home, use your camera to give you the best coverage of these areas.
The camera’s casing is resistant to different weather conditions and tampering. It would take an overwhelming event to damage the housing.
Even though the camera is weather and water-resistant, prolonged exposure to adverse weather conditions such as sunlight or excessive moisture, may eventually damage the internal components of the camera and adversely affect its performance.
Run cables inside a wall cavity or other protected enclosure, and ensure that all wiring and connectors are insulated and protected from moisture.
Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio “noise” which can interfere with the signal from your camera.
