Mount Tips for the Camera
Installation Tips
- 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 -10°C. Because when it is powered on, the camera will produce heat. You may power on the camera indoors for a few minutes before installing it outdoors.
NOTE: Please install the cameras within the NVR’s signal range.
