4.9.1 Camera Installation Tips

• Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense sunlight.
• Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines or telephone lines.
• Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible, but out of reach.
• Avoid pointing the camera at a glass window to see outside, as this may result in a poor
image caused by glare from indoor / outdoor lighting conditions.
• Adjust the camera angle so that it covers an area with high traffic.
• In "high-risk" locations, have multiple cameras point in the same area. This provides
camera redundancy if a vandal attempts to damage the camera.
