    Verify that no one has tampered with the firmware To make sure that the device has its original Axis firmware, or to take full control of the device after a security attack: 1. Reset to factory default settings. See Reset to factory default settings on page 65.
  • Page 5 If more than 8 radars are mounted close together, they may interfere with each other. To avoid interference from other AXIS Q1656-DLE Radar-Video Fusion Cameras, see Install multiple radar-video fusion cameras on page 5 . Install multiple radar-video fusion cameras The radio waves continue beyond the detection area, and can interfere with other radars up to 350 m (380 yd) away.
  • Page 6 If in an installation contains more than 8 AXIS Q1656-DLE, and many of the devices are pointing away from each other then there is less risk of inference. In general, radar interference will not cause the radar to stop functioning. There is a built-in interference mitigation algorithm that suppresses false detections due to interference.
