Choosing a location for your Camera

Some things to consider when choosing a location -

1) What you want to monitor and where you’ll get the

best view of it.

2) How you’re going to connect the camera to your

monitoring system; remember that cables and
connections should be kept out of the weather.

3) It’s recommended to mount your camera at an

elevated position to minimise harm.

4) Place your camera as close to the area of interest

as practicable. The best position is from about 4m
(13ft) above looking slightly down, keeping in mind
the details you are looking for.

5) Although the sky looks nice when you look at the

live view from your camera, it is an unlikely direction
for an offender to approach, make sure your camera
has minimal sky in it as the light in daylight can make
the foreground of the image darker.

6) Think about the most likely way a potential offender

may approach your home, use your cameras to give
you the best coverage of these areas.

7) The camera’s casing 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. However, the cable and
connector are vulnerable and require protection.

8) Even though the camera is weather and water-

resistant, the cable and connectors are not always
as easy to protect. We recommend you cover the
connectors and the end of the cable with some
waterproof tape or similar for best results.

9) Avoid bending your cables at sharp angles.

10) Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring.

AC electricity generates radio “noise” which can
interfere with the signal from your camera.
