Setting Up Your Security Cameras

Please find the below handy setup tips for your security cameras.

• For best results do NOT point the camera towards a light source such as the sun or light.
• Also do not have the camera in a shaded area looking out into a well-lit area as this will display poor results. Example: If the camera is hidden in a mailbox, because the mailbox is dark inside the camera sensor will try to adjust according to the available light. But if outside the mailbox there is good light like sunshine, you will get poor results. The light to the camera sensor in the front of the camera needs to be the same as the light at the focal target for best results.
• Power for Wired and Wireless Cameras, both types of cameras require a power source, although the camera maybe weatherproof the connections to the AV cable and power adapter are not. Please make sure that these connections are in a water or moisture free environment. 
• Over time the lens or front case glass may become dirty, please use a lint free cloth to clean both. Similar cloth that would be used to clean a CD Disc. 
• Power adapters: all power adapters are for indoor use only and must be shielded from outdoor elements. When using an outdoor camera, please use extension cords to power the camera and keep cables away from the outdoor elements. 
• When installing the camera, before screwing in the mounting bracket, check the image on the screen to see if the picture is clear from direct sun or light.
