drywall, use the plastic drywall
anchors that are provided.

feet (2.1 meters) above the floor
or ground and angle it slightly
downward.
• Place your camera within 10-15 feet
(3.0–4.6 meters) of where motion is
expected.
• Make suer that side-to-side trac
crosses the camera’s field of view.
• The best area for motion detection is
5 to 20 feet (1.5 to 6 meters) from the
camera position.
Battery life
Use these tips to maximize your camera’s
battery life:
• Use the Optimized or Best Battery
Life power setting.
