Weather conditions

All TRENDnet outdoor cameras are good for indoor and outdoor locations. The camera can work under a wide range of weather conditions. For severe weather conditions, a camera housing with temperature and moisture control is recommended. Using the camera in milder weather

conditions will help extend the camera’s product life and preserve the

quality of the video image. Do not use the indoor camera for outdoor.

TRENDnet User’s Guide TV-NVR104

• Moisture: Avoid damp or moist environments whenever you can.

The all-weather cameras are IP66 grade water proof camera, and it will work in moist environments. However, rain may affect the picture quality, especially at night, water may reflect the light from the infra-red illumination and degrade picture quality.

• Temperature: All cameras works within a specified temperature

range. Areas with severe temperatures should be avoided when installing the camera. It’s recommended that you use an enclosure with a heater and blower if you plan on using this camera outside of the specified temperature range.

• Sunlight: Avoid direct sun light exposure into the lens. Direct sun

light will damage the image sensor. If sunlight is necessary for your viewing purposes, provide protection for the image sensor.

• Lighting: Consider installing your camera faces the same direction

of the light sources. Shooting images with top-down position outdoor or next to the existing light source are good choices. Avoid the light source if it creates a shade that darkens the viewing area.
