Installing The Camera
4. Installing The Camera
• Before you install the camera, carefully plan where and how it will be
positioned and where you will route the cable that connects the camera
to the power adapter.
• Before starting permanent installation, verify the camera’s
performance by observing the image on a monitor when camera is
positioned in the same location / position where it will be permanently
installed.
4.1 Installation Warnings
• Aim the camera(s) to best optimize the viewing area: select a location for the camera that
provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor, that is free from dust, and that is not
in line-of-sight to a strong light source or direct sunlight.
• Avoid installing the camera where there are thick walls or obstructions between the camera
and the receiver.
• Avoid installing in a location which requires the wireless signal to pass through cement,
concrete, and metal structures. This will reduce the range of transmission. For details, see
“Appendix C: Facts About Digital Wireless Cameras” on page 10.
• Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature between 14°F~122°F
(-10°C~50°C)
• Not intended for submersion in water. For outdoor use, installation in a sheltered location is
recommended.
