How to use

Mount the camera in a location that provides the desired overall coverage, then adjust the lens to set the focal length between 2.8 mm and 12 mm until the target area is framed correctly.

Verify focus and field of view using live view, and adjust camera angle and zoom as needed to optimize detection and identification distances.

Recommendations

For stable performance, use the camera with a compatible NVR and ensure the network provides sufficient bandwidth for the chosen resolution and frame rate. When installing outdoors, place the unit under shelter or use weatherproof housings as required by the location. Periodically check lens focus and cleaning to maintain image clarity.
