Smart Home Base Station Placement Guide
Examples of good locations for placement of the Camera Base Station are shown below.
Installation Notes
Ensure that electrical
power and a Wi-Fi
connection are available
when selecting the
location for the camera
base station.
The camera base station
should be placed a
minimum of 6 feet (2m)
from your router and about
3 feet (1m) above floor
level.
Select a location that
ensures the camera base
station’s wide angle
viewing area covers
doors, windows and other
points of entry such as
stairwells.
A primary location should
face a point of entry such
as a front/back door or in
a location such as a foyer
or room that allows the
camera base station’s
wide angle lens to capture
the entire room.
Rotate the camera base
station’s lens to ensure its
wide angle lens can
capture the entire room.
In order to prevent
frequent and unnecessary
motion alerts, avoid
pointing the camera base
station directly at
televisions, windows or
portraits.
Be sure to set up alert
zones to avoid false alerts
that could be caused by
passing cars or ceiling
fans.
