How to use

Mount the camera on a stable surface such as a wall or ceiling at a height and angle that provide the desired field of view.

Recommendations

Position the camera to minimise direct sun glare and strong backlighting; use supplementary lighting for low-light scenes if required. Ensure the mounting location provides physical protection from tampering and that cables are routed securely. Regularly verify firmware updates and integrate the camera into a network with adequate bandwidth and storage for 4MP video streams.
