Lighting and Environment 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 looking 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 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.
