Choosing a Location for Your Camera(s)
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing where to mount your PRO-643
camera - not least of which is what you will want to see.
•
The PRO-643 is resistant to water, different weather conditions and tampering.
It would take an overwhelming event of this kind to damage the housing of the
camera (severe weather such as hurricanes or someone intentionally damaging the
lens would be enough).
•
When running the cables, try to avoid bending it at sharp angles.
•
Don't put the cables near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio "noise"
which can interfere with the signal from your camera.
•
All wiring and connectors must be suitably insulated and protected from moisture
and sunlight because they are not weather resistant.
•
The camera can be mounted to a wall or ceiling. The mounting surface must have
sufficient strength to hold the camera. Materials such as hardwood, brick or masonry
are good options.
•
Install the camera in shady spot. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can
damage the internal components of the camera and adversely affect the camera's
performance.
•
Try to aim the camera at an area that is evenly lit, as objects or people in shadows
near brightly lit objects are very hard to see.
•
Avoid having bright light sources to the sides of, or behind the subject as this will
interfere with your images.
•
The camera's night vision will give well-exposed images if the area is dark. However,
if there's a bright point source in the camera's view (a streetlight, car headlights or
similar) then it might not engage night vision mode.
1.
There is a mounting plate on the camera dome. Separate it from the camera dome
base by rotating anti-clockwise. Remove the other parts of the dome, consisting of
the camera itself and the dome cover.
2.
Install the mounting plate to the ceiling or wall in the position you'd like using the
supplied screws. If mounting to brickwork, concrete or other masonry surface, use
the supplied wall plugs.
3.
Aim the camera at the area to be monitored. It can help to move a monitor or
television out to the camera's location to ensure you get it aimed and positioned
properly.
4.
Fix the dome base and cover to secure the camera by rotating the dome base
clockwise until it's attached firmly to the mounting plate.
