Important Notes for Reducing False Alarms
To reduce false alarms, please note that:
Do not install the camera facing any objects with bright lights, including sunshine,
bright lamp lights, etc.
Do not place the camera too close to a place where there are frequently moving
vehicles. Based on our numerious tests, the recommended distance between the
camera and the vehicle is 15 meters (55ft).
Stay away from the outlets, including the air conditioner vents, humidifier outlets,
the heat transfer vents of projectors, etc.
Do not install the camera facing the mirror.
Keep the camera at least 1 meter away from any wireless devices, including Wi-Fi
routers and phones in order to avoid wireless interference.
