• Carefully plan the camera position and cable route.
• Select a dust-free location providing a clear view of the
area you want to monitor, and that is not in a strong
light source such as direct sunlight.
• Do not install the camera in a location exposed to high
humidity or rain.
• Select a location for the camera that has an ambient
temperature between -4°F (-20°C) and 122°F (50°C).
• Plan the cable’s route so it is not close to power or
telephone lines, transformers, microwave ovens, or
other electrical equipment that could interfere with the
system.
• If you plan to install the camera in a location with
harsh conditions, consult with a professional installer
and consider using a camera cover or housing (not
included).
• Before permanently mounting the camera, first setup
and hold the camera in the desired location and check
its performance on the monitor.
• To illuminate the camera’s viewing area beyond that of
the nightvision, we recommend a small incandescent
flood lamp.
