HGeneral Installation Notes and Tips

1. Test the camera signal before permanently installing the cameras.

2. Using battery power is only recommended for testing purposes as the cameras do require constant power to operate.

3. IR or night vision will reflect off of glass or windows and overexpose the picture. Try placing cameras in direct line of

sight of your subject.

4. Never aim the camera directly at the sun as this can permanently damage the lens.

5. Never submerge the camera in water. Some shelter is recommended such as an awning or eave.
