Event Configuration; Tampering Detection - Digital Watchdog DWC-VSDG04Mi User Manual

5.3 Event Configuration

The camera uses scene learning to determine if the installation has been
tampered with to determine if hardware sabotage has occurred.
To ensure that these detections are accurate, consider the following
recommendations when installing the camera:
• Cameras should be installed on stable surfaces as vibrations can
affect the accuracy of detection.
• Avoid pointing the camera at reflective surfaces like glossy floors,
mirrors, glass, bodies of water, etc., where the camera's IR light can
refract directly back into the camera or mirror images of a
subject/person will commonly occur.
• Avoid places that are narrow or where there is a drastic difference
in the presence of shadows.
•
Avoid scenes where the color of the target object is the same as
the background color.
• At any time of day or night, please make sure the camera view is
unobscured and has adequate and evenly distributed light. Avoiding
overexposure or too much darkness where there is a drastic contrast in
lighting.
