Configure exposure and IR settings to balance nighttime illumination and image detail. Integrate the camera with your network video recorder or VMS according to manufacturer instructions and verify recording, motion detection, and connectivity functions.

Recommendations

Place the camera at a height and angle that minimizes direct glare from streetlights and vehicle headlights. For optimal identification at night, test IR settings and focal length on-site and adjust remotely to avoid overexposed foregrounds. Use appropriate weatherproof cabling and surge protection when installing in outdoor locations.
