Mounting the Camera
Find a Good Mounting Spot
To find an optimal spot to mount the camera, you need to test wireless signal strength:
- Open the AOSU App and navigate to Camera Settings > Quick Start.
- Take your camera and phone to the desired mounting location to test the wireless signal strength.
- Move the camera as close to the Wi-Fi Router as possible to ensure a better signal.
The app will display the Wi-Fi signal strength, indicating if the current location is good for mounting.
Select Height
Hang the camera 2-3 meters above the ground. This height maximizes the detection range of the motion sensor, which can detect motion up to 10 meters away.
Select Location
- When installing in the northern hemisphere, face the camera to the south. When installing in the southern hemisphere, face the camera to the north.
- Take care to install the camera so that the sun is not blocked by any items such as eaves, trees, or branches.
Diagrams illustrate optimal and suboptimal placement regarding sun exposure and potential obstructions.
Test the Wi-Fi signal at installation position
Use your cell phone to test Wi-Fi signal quality at the installation position before installing the camera. Ensure the Wi-Fi router can provide a good Wi-Fi signal.
A weak signal is indicated by a cross mark (❌), while a strong signal is indicated by a check mark (✔️).
