DESCRIPTION
ü
WI-FI
CONNECTIVITY
Conrm that the CheckVideo Outdoor/Indoor Camera can receive

CAMERA
PLACEMENT
The CheckVideo Outdoor/Indoor Camera should be installed 8 to
20 feet above the ground and lted downward at an angle between
15° and 45° (Figure 21). It should be posioned 10 to 40 feet from
people, or 20 to 60 feet from vehicles.
DIRECTION OF
MOTION
People and vehicles should normally move from le-to-right or right-
to-le in the camera view (Figure 22A), not directly toward or away
(Figure 22B).
IMAGE SHARPNESS Maintain a clear camera image. Don’t point the camera through a
window pane or screen, and avoid placing it in condions that would
cause the camera lens to fog up or accumulate water droplets.
CAMERA
ORIENTATION
Objects in the camera view should appear upright. In other words,
the CheckVideo Outdoor/Indoor Camera should not be rotated
clockwise or counter-clockwise.
SECURE MOUNTING The CheckVideo Outdoor/Indoor Camera should be securely
mounted.
ADEQUATE, EVEN
LIGHTING
Lighng should be constant and sucient to read a newspaper in the
camera view where people or vehicles appear.
PHYSICAL
OBSTRUCTIONS
Physical obstrucons or sources of constant moon (e.g., moving
doors, ags waving in the wind, etc.) are not in the camera view.
REFLECTIONS,
GLARE, OTHER
LIGHTING EFFECTS
Reecve surfaces (e.g., mirrors, window panes, water, or polished
oors) or bright lights (e.g., headlight glare, direct sunlight) are not
directed at the camera.
Camera Angle
A MORE EFFECTIVE - Cameras are at 15 to
45 degree downward lt
B LESS EFFECTIVE - Cameras are
directly overhead (90 degrees) or
parallel to (0 degrees) the target
Target Direcon of Moon
A MORE EFFECTIVE - A target traveling from
le to right
