Important Notes for Reducing False Alarms
!
To reduce false alarms, please note that:
• Do not install the camera facing any objects with bright lights, including
sunshine, bright lamp lights, etc.
• Do not place the camera too close to a place where there are frequently
moving vehicles. Based on our numerous tests, the recommended distance
between the camera and the vehicle is 55 ft.
• Stay away from the outlets, including the air conditioner vents, humidifier
outlets, the heat transfer vents of projectors, etc.
• Do not install the camera where there are strong winds.
• Do not install the camera facing the mirror.
• Keep the camera at least 3 ft away from any wireless devices, including Wi-Fi
routers and phones in order to avoid wireless interference.
18
Cover the Monitoring Area
When installing the camera, it’s not suggested to
make the PIR sensor vertically face the moving
object. Please note that if the moving object
approaches the PIR sensor vertically, the PIR
sensor may not detect the motion events. You are
advised to install the camera angularly (the angle
between the PIR sensor and the detected object is
larger than 10°) for eective motion detection.
FYI:
• The PIR sensor’s detecting distance: 6m
(in default)
• The PIR sensor’s detecting angle: 120° (H)
It’s not suggested to make
the PIR sensor vertically
face the moving object.
