Attention for Camera Installation

PIR Sensor Installation Angle

When installing the camera, please install the camera angularly (the angle between the sensor and the detected object is larger than 10°) for effective motion detection. If the moving object approaches the PIR sensor vertically, the sensor may not detect the motion events.FYI:

  • The PIR sensor’s detecting distance: 23ft (in default)
  • The PIR sensor’s detecting angle: 100° (H)
Camera Ideal Viewing Distance

The ideal viewing distance is 2-10 meters (7-33ft), which enables you to recognize a human

Note: The PIR trigger can’t work alone, it needs to be used with motion detection. There are two detection types can be chosen. One is Motion and PIR, the other is Motion.

How to Install the Camera

Mounting Tips

Lighting

  • For best results, do not point the camera towards a light source.
  • Pointing the camera towards a glass window intending to see outside may result in a poor image because of glare and lighting conditions inside and outside.
  • Don’t place the camera in a shaded area that is pointing into a well-lit area as this will result in a poor display. The light to the sensor located at the front of the camera needs to be the same as the light at the focal target for best results.
  • As the camera uses infrared LEDs to see at night, it’s recommended to clean the lens from time to time if the picture degrades.

Environment

  • Make sure the power connections are not directly exposed to water or moisture and not shielded from other outdoor elements.
  • Weatherproof only means that the camera can be exposed to weather such as rain and snow. Weatherproof cameras cannot be submerged under water.
  • Do not expose the camera where rain and snow will hit the lens directly.
  • Cameras geared for cold weather may work in extreme conditions as low as -25° as the camera produces heat when plugged in.
  • Suggested Working Distance: Less than 3 WOOD WALLS within 90ft.
