   When you check for the desirable location to install the doorbell:

   • Make sure the visitor is standing in a reasonable distance away from the doorbell.
     

   • Avoid mounting it to where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

   • Avoid mounting it to where reflections may be caused by sunlight, for example, opposite to a white wall.

   • Avoid placing other cordless devices near the doorbell.
     They may cause interference.

   • Two built-in infrared LEDs are for night vision. Make sure the surrounding light source is sufficient for infrared operation. Test at the front door to determine when the infrared LEDs turn on. When they are in operation, they turn red.
     

To adjust the shooting area, you may either relocate the doorbell in different height level, or adjust the camera angle (see below).
To adjust the camera angle:

• Tilt the lever to adjust the angle of the camera lens. The camera lens can be adjusted to left, right or down, up to 10 degrees.
