Fig. 2 - MORE EFFECTIVE: Cameras
are at a 15 to 45 degree downward
lt and are mounted 8 to 20 feet high
Fig. 3 - LESS EFFECTIVE: Cameras are
directly overhead (90 degrees) or parallel
to (0 degrees) the target
To opmize event detecon, place your CheckVideo HD Camera
as follows:
•HEIGHT: Each camera must be installed 8 to 20 feet o the
ground.
•DISTANCE: If you are mainly detecng people, the distance
between the camera and the people you wish to detect
should be 10 to 100 feet. If you are primarily concerned with
detecng vehicles, the range is 30 to 160 feet.
The CheckVideo Camera Placement Guide includes a summary
checklist on improving your camera placement.
Once you’ve determined where to place the Camera, run Cat-5
network cable from the router to the desired locaon. The
Camera can be placed on a ceiling or wall.
To adjust the camera to the proper angle, remove the cover using
the included hex wrench. This will expose the ball and lens. The
ball rotates in 3 direcons. Gripping the ball, adjust the angle for
your locaon, seeking to maintain a 15 to 45 degree downward
lt. Be careful not to touch the lens as rotang it will change the
focus and may result in ngerprints on your video images.
Using the mounng screws, aach the camera to the wall or
ceiling and reaach the cover using the previously removed hex
screws.
Remember to pay aenon to the microSD card, being
careful to avoid pressing on it with the camera's cover.
Power up the camera (refer to Step 1 for addional informaon).
