Installation/Camera Setting Tips - ALC AWFB15 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION/CAMERA SETTING TIPS

For optimum detection, we suggest the camera is to be mounted 7 to 8 feet (2.1m to 2.4m)
from the floor, and:
• On a rigid vibration-free surface.
• The expected movement of an intruder is across the fields of the detection pattern.
To avoid false alerts, please note the camera is equipped with a PIR Motion Sensor that
operates by detecting temperature changes in the area in front of the camera; Please avoid
placing the camera under the following environments where false alerts may happen:
(1) Aiming the camera at windows or glass doors.
(2) Where small animals may enter the detection area.
(3) Where a heat source (sunlight, incandescent light, car headlights, etc) may affect the
motion sensor.
(4) Where sudden temperature changes inside or around the detection area caused by hot
or cold wind (fans, air conditioners, etc.).
Please note the camera supports operation using both batteries (CR-123A Non-rechargeable
Battery) and DC power via 5V USB port; however, there are certain function limitation when
power on the camera using batteries ONLY.
* Once the camera is in sleep mode; user can no longer access the camera. The camera
will only become online when the motion detector has detected an event, or by pressing
the power button at the bottom. The camera will return to sleep mode after:
The camera cannot secure Wi-Fi connection with the router after trigger event. Depending
on your sleep timer setting (30s, 60s, 90s, 120s), the camera will enter still attempt to
establish connection with router during the countdown. If the camera is able to establish
connection, the camera will enter sleep mode after data transfer (to cloud) completes.
How to Maximized Battery Power:
When the camera is using battery power, we suggest using the following setting to maximize
battery power
• Install the camera where it can receive excellent Wi-Fi network signals (Weak Wi-Fi signal
will force camera to operate using higher Wi-Fi Power, which may consume more power).
• Set Auto Sleep Timer to 30 seconds.
• Place the camera in a brighter lighting environment and turn off night vision.
• Do not stay in live view or system setting mode unless it's necessary.
