Tips

For the best night vision, mount the camera at a height of 3–4 metres and angle it slightly downward to avoid IR reflection from walls or eaves. If you use a PoE switch, ensure it supports 802.3af to power the camera without an extra adapter. Format the MicroSD card in the camera before first use to prevent recording errors.
