6. Camera installation guide

Confused on which location to install your camera? The camera can be installed in a number of different locations. Camera location can depend on the following.

6.1 Camera Location Tips

You may need to install multiple cameras if you want to focus on specific areas that you would like to monitor, for example, one for the garden, the other on the front gate entrance.

Take attention to: the distance from the camera to the recording device, the environmental conditions such as rain or snow, the lighting conditions during the day and night, the area that you would like to monitor.

When you position cameras correctly, you can eliminate the need for additional cameras to cover your target area and maximize the efficiency of your security system. On the flip side, if you position cameras incorrectly, it can lead to blind spots or to have objects that are not visible or too far for the cameras to view in detail. Keep these points in mind to get the most out of your security system.

Mount cameras at an elevated position - Mounting your cameras at an elevated position, can keep your cameras out of range of vandals or would be burglars. It also allows your camera to have a high vantage point increasing its viewing area.

Cover your target area: When placing cameras, make sure you provide ample coverage, but not in excess. For example, if you are trying to cover a front gate, don’t zoom in to only have the gate in frame. Position the camera to cover part of your front gate so you capture as much area as possible without sacrificing video quality.

6.2 Camera Field of View

The Field of view produced by a camera is the area that the camera can see. It is an important factor to consider as it determines not just what the camera can see, but also the level of detail that is visible at a given distance.

Cameras with a smaller lens, also known as a wide-angle lens, produce a greater Field of View than cameras with a larger lens. This means that the camera can see a large area but the objects will appear smaller within the scene area. This is useful if you want to monitor an entire room or a yard. Cameras with a larger lens also known as narrow-angle have a smaller Field of View. They can see a limited area, but objects will appear larger within the scene area. This is useful if you want to monitor a specific target such as a doorway or entrance. The included camera’s lens is 3.6mm by default.

1 Wide Angle: About 60 degree; Fixed Lens: f=3.6mm; The best view range: 1-5m 2 Narrow Angle: About 40 degree; Fixed Lens: f=6mm; The best viea range. 5-10m

6.3 Lighting Tips

For best results do not point the camera towards a light source. Pointing the camera towards a glass window intending to see outside may result in a poor image because of glare and lighting conditions inside and outside. Do not place the camera in a shaded area that is looking into a well lit area as this will result in a poor display. The light to the sensor located at the front of the camera needs to be the same as the light at the focal target for best results. It is recommended to clean the lens from time to time if the picture degrades.

Environment Tips

Make sure the power connections are not directly exposed to water or moisture and shielded from other outdoor elements. Weatherproof only means that the camera can be exposed to weather such as rain and snow. Weatherproof cameras cannot be submerged under water. Do not expose the camera where rain and snow will hit the lens directly. Cameras geared for cold weather may work in extreme conditions as low as -25°.

6.4 Tools* required for installation (*not included in delivery)

settings. Go to User setting (figure 9-8) and set a customized user and password. For different user class refer to chapter 8.8.2

10. Troubleshooting

Q1: I have forgotten the username and password of the camera. A1: The default username is admin and the password is none. If you have changed the

username and password to something different, you will need to reset the camera back to its default factory settings. To reset the camera, unplug the power adapter from the power socket then press and hold the Reset button while you reconnect the power adapter to the power socket. Release the Reset button after a few seconds (more than 15 seconds).

Q2: I have installed the mobile App but I can’t display my camera. A2: Assuming your camera is plugged into power, your camera could be experiencing

network connectivity issues. Do the following:

● Ensure your mobile device is connected to the same WIFI network as your camera.

● Check the strength of your WIFI network. Certain wireless products - specifically those

that operate in the 2.4GHz range such as Bluetooth systems, baby monitors or cordless telephones, may cause interference with the camera. If possible, place the camera at least 5 meters away from these types of devices to improve reception between the router and the camera. ● If you are viewing your camera away from home, there could be an issue with your mobile device’s internet data connection. Check if there is 3G or 4G network connection on your mobile device. (If you’re on the EDGE mobile network, it’ll be too slow to stream video from the camera). ● If the problem persists, restart your camera by disconnecting and reconnecting the camera’s power adapter and then open mobile App again to check if this fixes the problem. ● If your camera installed far from router and the distance beyond WIFI transmission range, it is strongly recommend add one RJ45 network cable (100meters Max.) to connect camera and router.

Q3: Images are slow to update or have a poor frame rate. A3: The quality of the image and frame rate can be affected several factors:

● Network bandwidth: Your network may be slow to handle the amount of data passing through it. Other devices or programs might be consuming the bandwidth that is available. Try removing the other devices to see if the performance improves. Lowering the resolution and bitrate may also improve things. ● Computer performance: Your computer may not be powerful enough to handle the live video streams coming in. If you have multiple cameras connected, try viewing them one at a time to see if the performance improves. You can also try viewing the live stream at a lower resolution and bitrate. ● Mobile performance: Live stream viewing is dependent on the hardware specifications of your mobile device. Not all mobile devices are made equally. Just like a computer, the speed of the hardware and the memory available will affect performance. Also, the overall speed of your mobile service provider can also play a part. If you are having issues with playback, try viewing the live stream at a lower resolution and bitrate.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. Any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the

copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating

system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that

system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. Because the program is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty for the program, to

the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing the Copyright holder and/or other parties provide the program "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the program is with you. Should the program prove defective, you assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

12. In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing will any Copyright holder, or any other party who may modify and/or redistribute the program as permitted above, be liable to you for damages, including any general, specia, incidental or consequential. Damages arising out of the use or inability to use the program (including but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses sustained by you or third parties or a failure of the program to operate with any other programs), even if such holder or other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

HOW TO APPLY THESE TERMS TO YOUR NEW PROGRAMS (1) If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the

public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

(2) To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

(3) This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of

the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

(4) This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

(5) You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation Inc; 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.

(6) Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

(7) If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an

interactive mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. (8) This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

(9) The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

(10) You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: (11) Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. <signature of

Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 [Ty Coon, President of Vice]

(12) This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into

proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.
