Attention for Camera Installation

• PIR Sensor Detecting Distance
  The PIR detection range can be customized to meet your specific needs. You can refer to the following table to set it up in the Uniden Solo App. Sensitivity| Value| Detecting Distance
  (For moving and
  living things)| Detecting Distance
  (For moving vehicles)
  ---|---|---|---
  Low| 0 – 50| Up to 4 meters| Up to 10 meters
  Mid| 51 – 80| Up to 6 meters| Up to 12 meters
  High| 81 – 100| Up to 10 meters| Up to 15 meters

Note:
Higher sensitivity offers a longer detecting distance, but it would lead to more false alarms. You are advised to set up the sensitivity level to “Low” or “Mid” when you install the camera outdoors.

• PIR Sensor Installation Angle
  Please installs the camera 2-3 meters above the ground. The detection range of the motion sensor would be maximized at such a height.

For effective motion detection, please install the camera angularly and the angle between the PIR sensor and the detected the object must be larger than 10°.
Due to the limitation of PIR sensor detection, if a moving object approaches the PIR sensor vertically (the direction of the orange arrow in the image), the camera may fail to detect motion.

Important Notes for Reducing False Alarms!
For reducing false alarms, please note that:

• Do not install the camera facing any objects with bright lights, including sunshine, bright lamplights, etc.
• Do not place the camera too close to a place where there are frequently moving vehicles. The recommended distance between the camera and the vehicle is 15 meters
• Stay away from the outlets, including the air conditioner vents, humidifier outlets, the heat transfer vent of projectors, etc.
•  Do not install the camera facing the mirror.
• Do not install the camera where there are strong winds
• Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices, including Wi-Fi
  routers and phones in order to avoid wireless interference.
