THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INSTALLATION
• The camera should be installed between 8 to 13ft above the area to be monitored
• Decide whether the camera will be wall mounted, ceiling mounted or sitting on a desk/table top. Before
mounting the camera, ensure there is nothing obstructing the camera’s view
• Placing the camera in an open, visible area can help deter criminals
• To cover large, dark areas such as backyards, garages and driveways, place cameras in locations such as the
roof or deck
• Ensure that your camera is positioned away from light sources and that the sunshade is properly adjusted to
avoid glare
• For best viewing results, the lighting in front of the camera should be about the same brightness as the
lighting around the area being monitored
• Each camera comes with 60ft of video/power wire. If longer wiring distance is required, 60ft extensions can
be purchased (DF10W) from your local re-seller or at www.svat.com
• We recommend using a surge protected power bar to protect the camera’s internal circuitry
