Mounting

Place the camera 8 to 10 feet (2 – 2.5 meters) from the ground. Person Detection works best when the subject is between 6.5 to 23 feet (2 – 7 meters) away from the camera.

Pole Mounting

Place the mounting bracket against the pole where you want it to be positioned.
Wrap the cable ties around the pole and thread them through the holes on the mounting bracket. Face the rough side of the cable ties to the pole to avoid slippage.
Twist the camera clockwise onto the mounting bracket until it securely locks into place.

Wall Mounting

Place the mounting bracket against the wall where you want the device to be positioned. Use a pencil to make two marks where the holes are located.
Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill two 26 mm deep holes over the pencil marks.
Hammer in the plastic wall anchors to support the screws.
Align the mounting bracket’s holes over the plastic anchors. Drive the screws into the anchors to secure the mounting bracket.
Twist the camera clockwise onto the mounting bracket until it securely locks into place.

For outdoor installations: This device is designed to be installed under eaves or similarly covered locations, and does not support inverted installation. Please ensure that the device is installed with the rubber plug pointed downwards towards the ground, and that it is not installed in an area where it will experience continuous water exposure.
