Mount Tips for the Cameras
-
Do not face the camera towards any light sources.
-
Do not point the camera towards a glass window. Or, it may result in poor image quality because of the window glare by infrared LEDs, ambient lights or status lights.
-
Do not place the camera in a shaded area and point it towards a well-lit area. Or, it may result in poor image quality. To ensure best image quality, the lighting condition for both the camera and the capture object shall be the same.
-
To ensure better image quality, it’s recommended to clean the lens with a soft cloth from time to time.
-
Make sure the power ports are not directly exposed to water or moisture and not blocked by dirt or other elements.
-
With IP waterproof ratings, the camera can work properly under conditions like rain and snow.
However, it doesn’t mean the camera can work underwater. -
Do not install the camera at places where rain and snow can hit the lens directly.
-
The camera may work in extreme cold conditions as low as -25°C because it will produce heat when powered on. You may power the camera indoors for a few minutes before installing it outdoors.
