Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this A855 Day & Night Security Camera. This camera can operate in almost all lighting conditions, from bright daylight (provided it’s not pointed straight toward the sun) to pitch darkness.
The camera is very sensitive to light and therefore can make use of even the smallest amount of light to provide an image of what it sees. In low light, this comes through as a black and white image.
In complete or near-total darkness, the camera uses built-in infrared LEDs to illuminate the area in front of it. This light is invisible to the human eye, although you might notice a faint red glow coming from the front of the camera - this is normal.
In day or well-lit environments, the IR Cut Filter feature of the camera activates to filter out
wavelengths of light the camera does not need in order to provide a clear color image. Important note - All jurisdictions have specific laws and regulations relating to the use of cameras. Before using any camera for any purpose, it is the buyer’s responsibility to be aware of all applicable laws and regulations that prohibit or limit the use of cameras and to comply with the applicable laws and regulations.
Warning - Modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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)How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. It’s recommended to mount your cameras at an elevated position.
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 waterresistant, prolonged exposure to adverse weather conditions such as sunlight or excessive moisture, may eventually damage the internal components of the camera and adversely affect its performance.
9)When running your cable, try to avoid bending it 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.
