7) Please check to make sure that batteries are fully charged or left power is enough;
8) "Max Range" offers better IR flash range. Given IR flash range values are based on Max Range setting;
so please adjust Night Mode to Max Range for better night vision flash range;
9) High-quality 1.5V NiMH rechargeable AA batteries can also offer much better IR flash range; alkaline
batteries cannot deliver enough amperage to power the illuminator consistently at night;
10) To ensure accuracy and quality of night time image, please mount camera to dark environment without
any obvious light sources;
11) A certain surroundings (like trees, walls, ground, etc.) within flash range can get you better night time
images; please do not aim camera to total open field where there is nothing within IR flash range to reflect
flash back; it's like shinning a flashlight into sky in night, you just can't see anything; same does camera.
