TIPS FOR CAMERA LOCATION

Tips for Camera Location
1.0 To avoid internal overheating:
-never expose the camera to direct sunlight without additional camera housing
-keep sufficient distance to direct heat sources.
2.0 The camera should be installed out of reach (min. height: 2.30 m)
3.0 Do not aim the camera towards indoor lighting, the windows, the sunlight or the sky (to
get good pictures, camera and light should be aimed towards the object)
4.0 Reduce the picture detail to the essential parts of the
picture and place the camera as close as possible to the
object (a smaller picture detail guarantees sharper
details).
5.0 Do not aim the camera towards a window but instead
towards the room.
6.0 Outdoors the camera should be placed as high as
possible so that the horizon does not appear in the
picture.
7.0 Avoid peak light as background (also caused by
reflections, e.g. window panes).
