Installation Overview
The installation process is different depending on whether you are
mounting the camera outdoors or indoors. Follow the instructions
for the installation that you are performing.
Outdoor Installation
Important: The ideal outdoor location for mounting the
airCam would be under an overhang/eave that shelters
the camera. If the airCam is located in a completely open
outdoor environment without an overhang/eave, do not
install camera with a downtilt of more than 45°.
