Do not face the camera towards any light sources.
Do not point the camera towards a glass window. Otherwise, it may result in poor image quality because of the window glare caused 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. Otherwise, it may result in poor image quality. To ensure best image quality, the lighting condition for both the camera and the capture object should be the same.
To ensure better image quality, it’s recommended to clean the dome cover 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.
