  • Page 21: Section 4. Adjustments

    4. ADJUSTMENTS For optimum picture quality the camera lens must be as close as possible to the dome’s inside face, without touching. However, the foam ring around the lens should be adjusted to seal against the dome, minimizing any side light interference, but without obstructing the field of view.
  • Page 22 Note: If light reflects from side walls or other adjacent surface, some bright spots or halo may appear on the image. Move lens away from the reflection surfaces in order to avoid back reflection. FIGURE 4 - 1 Camera / Lens Directional Alignment...
