Tips for Camera Placement
- Do not face the camera towards any light sources.
- Do not point the camera towards a glass window. Or, it may result in poor image performance because of the window glare by infrared LEDs, ambient lights or status lights.
- Do not place the camera in a shaded area and point it towards a well-lit area. Or, it may result in poor image performance. For better image quality, please make sure that the lighting condition for both the camera and the capture object is the same.
- For better image quality, it's recommended to clean the lens with a soft cloth from time to time.
- Make sure the power ports are not exposed to water or moisture or blocked by dirt or other elements.
